I painted it in different blocks, of course.

It wasn't a technical problem. My problem is that it's very fragile.

The Herald on top barely touch the platform with a single foot, the whips are flimsy at best, and every time I play it I need to be careful.

It's stressful.

I did not enjoy to paint it either.

I'm thinking about making a Hellcannon. Have you played with it? How is it?

As for your list, looks solid on the defense, but your only big offense unit seems to be the Bloodreavers. If I were playing against you I'd try to shoot them or feed them chaff. Maybe get something speedy? Chaos Knights are amazing, MVPs in every game I play
>>
>>51147042
Do you run them in a group of 10 or 2 x 5?

>>51147056
Only got 5 but I play smaller games, 1000-1300 points. I usually sneak them around the flank to go character and war machine hunting, for that a small unit is enough. They are still really tough though. I've had them tie up 40 clanrats for a whole game, for instance.

>>51147042
So i have heard that the best way to run the hellcannon is 2 or more, on paper they look nasty as hell. My plan was to bubble wrap it with the fireglaves to prevent caged fury so im always hitting on a 3+ or if its a group of 20 a 2+ for 2D6 mortal wounds. But over all to my understanding its one of if not the best, artillery in the game right now.

Im not sure how i feel about the bloodreavers, im still building and painting the list, its actually my first, the plan was to use the tzeentch marked warriors as meat shields, empowering them from the shrine so they reroll all their failed saves, then use the halbards to poke over them to utilize their 2 inch range, bloodsecator behind them makes it nice for the extra attack. The bloodreavers were just he extra spice on it, a group of 30 with a blood secator sort of makes them a "You have to deal with this sooner or later." kinda unit.

As for knights again, i have heard great things about them but still wondering if glaves or enscrolled weapons. If i did take the knights, i think i would drop the reavers, but it seems a lot for 10, 400 points.

If i dropped the revers, i would probably also drop the secator and pick up a second hell cannon, which at that point my strategy would just be tar pit them and then let the range eat them up.

>>51147056
I heard a good way to run them is as 2 groups of 5, and trade them in and out on a unit. SO group one charges attacks, then next turn they fall back then group 2 charges in then you bounce back and forth.

Guys.

How is it balanced in the General's Handbook in regards to steeds and other upgrades for characters?

I love the points system but why do, say, a Vampire Lord without wings cost the same as one who has wings?

Or an Orc Boss on a boar vs one not mounted on a boar?

Am I missing something?

No, it's like this.
Me too would like something for taking or not taking the steed/wings.

You can house rule it, like mounted/flying heroes being unable to take cover, or something like that.

So the only exceptions were a quarter of the factions and your mad because the dwarves meeting giant salamanders on a plane of fire and stormcast made friends with dragons by finding their souls amongst the stars. Not everyone is pulling dragons out their ass but I guess you'll only be happy if YOUR faction is the special snowflake that has them all to themselves because they are the ones that "it makes sense" for.

I'm a Skaven player, we literally have a "lead from behind" rule.

>>
>>51149667
There arent many unit choices

Tomb Kings got cut and they were almost half the range of death models
>>
>>51149667
The reason is deaths main gimic was summoning, and they were originally designed with the idea that points don't matter and you could keep summoning.

Since they added points, and made summoning count toward your total point cost, they gimped their main gimic. On top of that, they don't have range, other the tomb kings which got canned so, you have a slow moving army with no range, and who's main gimic summoning is nerfed to uselessness, the only real thing they have is you show up with nagash, then just summon the unit that best counters your oponants.
>>
>>51149758

I thought they still counted since they have the 'Death' keyword?
>>
>>51149775
Yeah they still count and you can field them, but the model line got disconnected

>>51149775
You can still field them but only as a Compendium army.

The models are not being produced any more and they dont show up in Grand Alliance: Death. It's a shame because TK are top tier.

>>51149774
>deaths main gimic was summoning
No, -Nagash's- main gimmick was summoning.

>slow moving army
Objectively false
>>
>>51149838
>summoning was not the main gimmick
>army went from top tier to bottom tier after points were added.

Also worth noting that one of the death relics, if you take it the one that brings the model back, FAQ said that means you need to pay twice for the model it's on.

Summoning is what killed the army.
>>
>>51149838
>You can still field them but only as a Compendium army.

Whats a compendium army?
>>
>>51149886
Death is not bottom tier, what are you talking about?

For you

>>51150946
But the results of a handful of tournaments is not a significant sample size. Competitive AOS is only 6 months old and it takes time to build + paint + play.

There's also confirmation bias in army popularity - unpopular armies don't get as many opportunities as popular armies. For example, if a tournament of 64 players had 50 Stormcast, 10 Beastclaw, and 4 Death armies then it is likely that the Stormcast take most top spots just by virtue of seeding and bracketing.

Tournament structure could also play a factor. For example, we don't know if these TOs allow compendium armies or not.

I'm not saying Death is very good (I think it is, but that's besides the point) just that there are other factors at play here besides power level, and trying to draw conclusions from a handful of tournaments in a game that is only 6 months old is disingenuous at best and downright idiotic at worst.

>>51150998
Burden of proof lies with the person that originally claimed death is bad. Unfortunately there is no proof yet, just opinions and conjecture.
>>
>>51151092
>still failing to provide any proof death is good In light of proof that they are bad

I have proof they are bad and I showed you. Those are all independent tournaments that frontline gaming is reporting on so they are not some Joe blow in the garage.

You have yet to provide any counter to that, u tip you do, death still stands as the weakest army in AoS sorry friend its shit.

>but but muh army popularity
erelavent, prior to points death was the most powerful, these are turnoments filled with WAAC players who don't care about army fluff or how pretty they look.

>muh muh competitive rules
Yeah well guess what all those tournaments would have different rules if we assume that and even then death only took first in 2 of them

>muh death ain't that bad
Even though before you were saying it was too tier, now it's a not so top tier. Almost there anon now you hair gotta admit they are bottom :)

>>51151092

I haven't post in like 2 weeks but I will weight in.

You can see my armies in the last threads, and my input on other peoples DEATH lists. I have maybe 200+ zombie, 120 ghouls, a fuckload of every monsters and my favorite thing to field in casual is 3 Vargulf.

I play death and only death since 7th after quitting 40K.
If I do not field at least 3 mourngul in tournament (most of the time I summon them) I am at clear disadvantage against most armies.

I mainly field FEC with lots of Morghasts and crypt flayers, I have to be very fast and basically all IN one side of the table with the Deadwatch bataillon to win (I win reliably in casual and less competitive games)
Death have to be careful to be in range with everything for synergy/abilities but your army is only as strong as the weakest point when it comes to abilities.

Other armies do not even bother with bataillon and just add up brutal units to win (looking at you Azgor fag with Shar'tor and max deathshreiker) death just cannot do that outside of mourngul and morghasts/deadwatch.

I use to completely own any game when we could summon shit and our goulking could use the ring for free, now its clear that we need to wait until GHB 2 to be competitive again.

Lists like this one >>51144318 can kill 2 mourngul a turn with only the arrowboyz... an i have no answer that is not "More mourngul/morghast" to things like warrior brotherhood/or durthu/Frostlords because of just how much damage and HP they have for the points.

The Strongest point of death was summoning, but right know its risky because all armies are fast and if you miss a critical summon turn 2 you've just lost.

I doubt you play Death, or you just don't play enough if you think death is in good shape right now.

also, refusing things like ITC results because "its only anecdote" without giving any hindsight on why you think Death isn't weak or any proof of your point is just stupid.

Are you pretending to be retarded? Becuase those are not "small" those are all independent tournaments that frontline was willing to cover which means they arnt small.

Yup, acolytes are battleline, and they've got nice models too.

And what about jezzails/ratling cannons? The models are too dated for my tastes, but I'm thinking about giving some of my clanrats some kroot rifles to replace them, if the units are worth it.
>>
>>51153021
Do you understand what "sample size" means? I can't "provide a sample size" you fuckwit, that's not what the term means.

Death underperforming in a handful of tournaments in one part of the world only 6 months after the game was released could be due to a number of reasons that are not at all related to the power of the faction as a whole.

Trying to draw conclusions from such a small amount of data is pointless, and if you can't understand that then you are beyond retarded.

Oh I know why because what I told you was right, death was designed around summoning and no points and when they were added the fell to shit.

>>
>>51153146
How can you possible claim that Death was strongest before the GHB?

If your reasoning is because of unlimited summoning well the Seraphon were objectively better at that, and they were hurt just as badly by the summoning restrictions when transitioned to mathced play

>>51153107

Jezzails are deccently killy and the "no movement" ability is neat too.
Ratling cannons are good too, but you're probably gonna wanna just take more stormfiends w/ ratling guns, if you wanna roll a trillion dice.

>>51153197
Also worth noting because clearly you don't know, lizard men were broken becuase you could chain summon
>>
>>51147001
Where did you order the hellcannon? Z? I got one from Z and the quality is okay-ish. I owned a metal one years ago and it was way better, dunno bout the finecast ones. Some warpage in the barrel and in the sides which are holding it, but nothing too major, fixable by a hairdryer. I put it together and everything is still a little crooked, but I dont care, as it looks pretty cool, like the daemon inside it twisting its way out vor whatever. Cast Detail is awesome, though.
>>
>>51153250
But that tournament had no restrictions whatsoever and the results don't give us any meaningful data. The results were determined by building, painting, and playing - it had NOTHING to do with winning games.

Order, Chaos, and Destruction had a lot of releases since AOS came out while Death had only the Flesheater Courts. In fact Death had almost half the model line cut when they removed the Tomb Kings out of the Grand Alliance book. Everyone was buying Seraphon, Sylvaneth, Stormcast, Khorne, Nurgle, Ironjawz, and Beastclaw for the last 6-12 months before that event.

The only reasonable conclusion to draw from the Season of War is that Death is underrepresented because it's not popular, and it's not popular because:

1. It's not blatantly powerful like Beastclaw Raiders
2. It has very few model choice and all of them fit into a specific niche aesthetic
3. It hasn't had any significant releases since the End Times

>>51153283
What the fuck are you even talking about?

No, you couldn't chain-summon with Seraphon. Only the Slann can summon Seraphon into play and they can't summon other Slann. The only way to get another Slann into play was with an Engine of the Gods, and only with a specific unreliable ability.

I tell him what I want and also that I want paypal and then he sends an . xls with evrything, which I check, tellhim its correct and my PayPal AS well as my Adress. Then i get the invoice and then my models. Have you checked ur spamfolder? He normally is pretty fast, uaually less than 48h. But seeing he just had a promo running maybe he has some backlog. Just forward ur old E-Mail again, saying smth like : have u seen my mail? And then wait for 14-20 days before Sending another

THE EVENT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WINNING GAMES

IT WAS ABOUT BUILDING, PAINTING, AND PLAYING

I wrote it in caps so you would actually read it this time

>Go ahead find one fucking case where death unanimously is pulling ahead I fucking dare you.

Burden of proof is not on me, it's on you. You claimed that Death is bad and haven't produced any kind of meaningful proof of that claim, then threw an autistic fit when somebody called you out on your bullshit.

Here is an example of proving a claim:
You are a moron and are shit at this game.
How do I know this? The evidence is in this thread. You think that Seraphon could chain summon. You don't know how statistics work. You don't know what "sample size" means. You don't understand that a global event about build/paint/play is not the same thing as a competitive tournament.
You have demonstrably proven to everyone here that you are a moron and you have no idea what you're talking about.

Death is not "bottom tier" like you claimed, but it is an unpopular army.

Seraphon
Ironjawz
Disciples of Tzeench

Stormcast
Courts
Skaven
which one and why?
>>
>>51154561
Whichever looks coolest
>>
>>51154561
I would pick Ironjawz or Stormcast because they seem to be comfy and easy to build armies. Right now I'm having some fun with doing first steps with Skavens. I'm rather a casual player running low-point games so these factions fit me well. It all depends, Anon.
>>
>>51152281
He can punch *really* fucking hard. It's not unlikely that he will just cleave through any enemy unit he has laid his eyes upon.
That said, I prefer making him not the general. His command ability is nice, but once the enemy cottons on to what he can do he tends to get obliterated.
>>
>>51154540
I already showed you proof that death is under performing, where is your proof they are not becuase I have been asking for it. If it's so clear they are not shit then why can't you come up with anything?

Oh yeah becuase you can't. >>51154560
>ignores blatant loss in independent tournaments reported to front line
>ignores seasons of war, muh muh painting and modeling!!

So how many grave guard did you have to loose before you found out your army was shit? Or rather how much did your parents buy you? Is that what this is? Did you get a bunch for Christmas and you actually wanted khorne but you need to pretend to like your army?

Haha!

This fucking ass mad over toy soldiers
>>
>>51154503
Tablet. Quick and easy and I've always have it with me anyway.
>>
>>51154687
We are ignoring the season of war because it has nothing to do with WINNING games. It was 100% a popularity contest. It's not relevant to the conversation.

It's like saying Order is a good faction because mars is red. It's irrelevant.
>>
>>51154721
can you show us your death army ? what do you face and field ?
>>
>>51153283
Wasn't Chaos that could do that?
>>
>>51154561
I play Skaven so thats what I'd reccomend, great fun if you like huge swarms of rats covered in AIDs and Steampunk-y weapons with giant glowing rocks all over them.

Ironjawz would be my second pick. They look amazing, and you'll ahve a great time choosing colour schemes for their armour. And as I always say "FUCKING MAW-CRUSHA", I'm in love with that model.
>>
>>51154721
>nothing to do with winning
Cmon now anon.....you know damn well it logged wins and losses

Still can't refute the independent tournoments and you STILL! Can show anything that shows death is not shit right now.

Go ahead show me something, if your so fucking confident it's doing fine, and it's kicking so much ass why is it always in the bottom rankings?
Hmm???
>>
>>51154293
>it is an unpopular army.

No wonder, all the other alliances are composed of multiple WHFB armies. Death is literally Tomb Kings and Vampire Counts and TK were axed.
>>
>>51154798
>Cmon now anon.....you know damn well it logged wins and losses

No? It logged wins and painted units. In my store Chaos won largely despite winning the fewest games because a guy painted a whole chaos army.
>>
>>51154798
But it also logged people building and painting models. It was 100% a popularity contest and nothing more, stop deluding yourself.

My local store was won by an Order player that painted 30 warscrolls and never played a single game.

I already refuted the handful of tournaments because they are not an indicative sample size and while they do show that Death is underrepresented, and they do not show that it is a direct result of Death being a weaker faction.

>>51154813
This.

Order and Chaos are popular because they are huge factions with tons of variety.

Destruction is relatively popular because they have recently updated battletomes and the Orcs are a fan favourite.

Death has neither of these things going for it.

Low popularity can lead to low turnout, which leads to poor tournament results because that's how tournaments work.
>>
>>51154872
merely an anecdote. if you think this is a proof you are retarded beyond any help.
>>
So, what's the purpose of summoning in Pitched Battles? Is it some kind of AoS version of Deep Striking?
>>
>>51154917
yes
>>
>>51154898
...what? Are you legittimately medically retarded? Because the fact that Season of War worked in a way that if Destruction won 10 games in a store but a guy painted 11 order units then Order won is not disputable.
>>
>>51155010
and in my gw nobody painted anything and it was only win/loss, so what is your point ?
>>
>>51155010
are you mad because you don't have any army nor proof beyond anecdote that Death is the shittiest faction by a huge margin ?
>>
>>51155034
That using painting results to evaluate how powerful an army is is beyond idiocy?

>>51155050
I'm more astonished by the fact that you are using a painting competition to gauge tabletop performance.

I guess the Ogroid Thaumaturge is the most overpowerd hero in the game considering he won the Golden Demon.

I'm not even claiming anything about death, as it's not played in my LFGS, so I've no idea. But you have gone beyond retardation.
>>
>>51155158
you've been arguing that death isnt the shiitiest tier for 5 hours, against multiple report of actual death tournament players and numerous itc tournament, and you dont even play nor face death at all ?

How about you stop deflecting and actually show something that proves death is not shit?

I just joined in. I don't care about death, but I find the thought of someone so idiot to try to use painting result to evaluate the power of an army hilarious.
>>
>>51155287
It's a beer and pretzel game, very simple to play, more mindless fun then anything else. Each army has a few wombo combos you can pull out that just leave the enemy but all in all its a decent game.

Not much depth in my opinion but plenty of breadth.
>>
>>51155287
sylvaneth are very good and internally balanced, the SC box is a good choice
>>
>>51155298
Also it has the advantage of choosing what you want to deep strike after the game started, so you can adapt your army list depending on your enemy.
>>
>>51150730
I'm seeing a variety of different results here, sometimes Destruction takes top of the charts, another Order, then Chaos, the only pattern I see is that Death is present, but less played.

Which really shouldn't come as a surprise given how Death also has had the least updates and the lowest army variety. Season of War had similar results, and that one was driven mostly by purchases and painting.

Are you sure this isn't just evidence that Death can do just as well as the other armies, but just that less people play it?
>>

K, I just wanted to know what I was getting into, plus I want a reason to own Alarielle the Everqueen because the model is sexy as fuck
>>

its also super strong
>>
>>51155350
On the surface that's how it would seem, but the thing is, it's ALWAYS trailing in tournoments, if it was good you would see it doing a lot better then it is.

It's hardly in the top ranking when it comes to tournoments, I'd it was decent the model range would not be the issue. That said having a small range in no way helps it.

In fact I would say that's the reason it's so shitty is becuase it's so limited, the only range unit thu have skeleton archers got aced with tomb kings. So is it the cause? Yeah I would say so. But the cause is irrelevant to the fact they are the worst army in the game right now.

Dwarfs are marksman, humans have been given the gun 10 minutes before the battle.

Then look at the gun just below that have twice the range.
Also the rules clearly state that if an Handgunner don't move he is as precise as the dwarf, so the bad aim is clearly on the peasant side

Well as its been said into the ground, death is not in a good place. The thing you need to watch out for is if you go up against someone with artillery, your gonna need to bum rush it with the bats and try to take out the crew. They are gonna try and tar you up and just pick you away with range.

I can prove they are and have please see ITC results in which death only takes 1st once and is hardly in the top 10 thank you and good day faggot, go look at your death minis and keep telling your self they are top tier as you cry.

ANYWAY! butthurt WFB aside, deaths real threat is ranged on your units, you get your self like 20 or 30 skeleton archers you going to be in a lot more comfortable place.
>>
>>51156524

How would they achieve that? Are they trying to get their arty to fire on my flanks?

you can shoot into melee in AoS and lots of artillery dont need los and get a buff like reroll ones to either wound or hit. Or things like can cause mortal wound.
