>>51188899
This, if you're gonna kill a game to replace it with a new one, let's see some new shit to go with it, a new faction that we haven't seen before. On that note, what brand new faction could gw introduce? They've legit covered almost all the bases for a fantasy world. Off the top of my head I'd say an Asian faction would be cool, or perhaps something Indian style with war elephants and shit
>>
>>51188975
I think it'd be tits if they made a lovecraftian outer realm faction. Like void beasts that have no souls and nothing for chaos to prey on so they terrify everything. They focus on horror and reducing bravery and getting rid of battleshock immunities or buffs.

How common is Order, particularly Stormcast, your areas?

Around here, Order is roughly equal to Chaos, with Death and Destruction behind them. From what I've been seen/told, though, Order here is mainly just Sylvaneth and one Daughters of Khaine army.

I've been thinking about going Stormcast due to it having a relatively lower model count and somewhat easier to paint (I've gotten burned out with moderate-to-high model count armies with a little more complexity in painting with 40k), and since Stormcast are underplayed-to-unplayed here, I'd like to take the opportunity to be a snowflake and slide into that spot.
>>
>>51190444
for me stormcast is everywhere, but it is of no matter to you, just do what is less played in your area
>>
>>51190444
A lot of Stormcast players (and Bloodbound) because they are the cheapest option for casual players
>>
>>51189373
There's fairly little incomprehensible about it though. That's part of why they so easily tempt people: They have easy to understand recruitment speeches. You want to chop things up? Join Khorne!

That's not horrible, actually. For a marauder-tier unit a swing at 4+/4+ in addition to a 18" shot is pretty decent. Given the sheer number of Tzeentch Wizards you're likely to field those bolts will probably always be able to claim the bonus, too.
The Vulchard will probably make enemy wizards with multiple casts somewhat hesitant to cast when nearby, though I doubt it'll actually do much unless you have multiple units of Kairic Acolythes in range.
I'd most likely make them hang out with a Gaunt Summoner, screening him and providing support fire while he deletes units.
Incidentally, the Gaunt Summoner has lost his familiars, as expected. The loss of +1 to cast hurts, but the rest were worthless anyway.

>>51191704
Could be, but I doubt it, considering the kit doesn't include them in the first place and all old familiars have been relegated to legacy status, not to mention lacking the Tzeentch keyword.

Mixing alliances: Am I retarded or is fun allowed?

I want to make an army of good guy skeletons, warrior souls bored of valhalla or whatever returned to the realms for a proper punch up. So, obviously death.
I want to have some valkyries with them, thinking a couple units of allied Stormcast Prosecutors.

This prevents all allegiance buffs, items, and hero traits, but I just want a chaotic good skeleton party.

Hardly going to take this to competitive games, but will I be laughed out of the game store?
>>
>>51191930
Yes on account of literally everybody everywhere using matched play and the GBH forbidding mixed alliances for that.
No on account of having a solid theme and something of a background justification.
>>
>>51191930
>Hardly going to take this to competitive games, but will I be laughed out of the game store?
I think people will be going? "You sure? You do realize you're not getting alliance bonuses, right? Okay, put them on the field."

One of the perks of the pre-GHB period is that people got used to mixing up the rules.
>>
>>51191759
Seems to me that a tag team of Thaumaturge and Summoner would shit out mortal wounds like nobody's business. If they're cheap enough, a bubblewrap of acolytes would do good work.
>>
>>51191774
I hate to point this out, but...I'm the anon that was arguing with you about witch elves.

What

It occurred to me that skeleton armies are always the bad guys, and I wanted something new. I just couldn't find a death unit that arequately looked or played like a valkyrie, so I figured Stormcasts were the next best thing.

Currently just playing 1000 point proxy friendlies with some friends while we get into the game
>>
>>51192190
- Curseling to make enemy casters nervous
- Gaunt Summoner to cut units in half and cast additional stuff
- Thaumaturge to cause more Mortal Wounds and threaten everything that gets too close
- Lord of Change to buff casting, supplement melee threat and maybe hand out Lord of War to a nearby Acolythe screen
- Blue Scribes for further casting buffs and general fuckery
Tzeentch coven is go.

Looking at all the marauder variants so far, the acolythes seem really strong in comparison. They brawl not that much worse than the other two while also having a long-ranged missile and better protection.
Yes, Bloodreavers can be buffed like mad, but requires a dedicated investment, while Kairics get that from hanging out with some guy that has probably similar range-bands and usually loves some disposable meatshields.

I'm also banking on the rerolls to run and charge from the reckless command trait. It's not much but it's something.

So what should I change about the list? If I drop a Bastiladon and drop the battalion I'll have 380 points freed up.

2 Bastiladons is stupid because you can only give one of them Mystic Shield at a time and your opponent can just ignore the one you put it on. Bastiladon doesn't do very much damage for its 300 point cost so youre paying a lot of points for the defensive capabilities.

Cut 1 Bastiladon and bring 1 Stegadon instead.

Bring a Starseer so you can reroll the Skink Priest ability, making it more reliable, and to give you Mystic Shield for your Bastiladon.

You also need something that can do a lot of mortal wounds or high rend to deal with high armor saves - Salamanders are great for this.

You also need some mobility. Chameleon Skinks, Terradons, or Ripperdactyls.

I would cut down some of the Guard and Warriors to make room for these units.
Eternity Warden is not that good in combat unless you are running a Bloodclaw Starhost, you can spend a little bit more and get an Astrolith Bearer instead.

If you are going to run Guard then don't run them in small groups of 5, they are too weak to mortal wounds in small numbers.

They look fun and I dig what little lore they have at the moment, but I don't see myself playing them until they get some updated models. Some of the later units, like the Demigryph Knights, are sexy. Greatswords and the other mounted units look good, too. I'm mostly just averse to the Crossbowmen/Handgunners/Guard. And, unfortunately, I can't really skip over them since they're Battleline.

>>
>>51194452
>What's wrong with an archmage?

The problem is it costs way to many points (120) for what it brings to the table in terms of effectiveness compared to other things like >>51191532 that also cost 120 points.

The archmage is one of the most overcosted units ive seen in the game.

a common problem with all the elves in age of sigmar
>>
>>51194475
The points costs have always felt kinda rushed. I mean look at Nagash in matched play. Definitely not worth a 1000 points. It's ridiculous.

I'm hoping there will be a real balancing pass sometime in the near future.
>>
>>51194593
I think the Freeguild Battletome, or a whole Free Peoples' tome, is likely, considering one of the current Rumor Engine photos of a funky-looking pistol with the Devoted of Sigmar symbol on it.

>What don't you like about the Guard/Handgunners? I think they're some of the best parts of the army.
The blank unitards. It's a little bland and, more importantly, I don't trust myself being able to make those look good.

I redact what I said about the Freeguild Guard, though. Their breastplates and random armor doodads make them look more interesting.

Being fair to the archmage his shit works on all units in a bubble and even against the gaunt summoners. One is offensive and the other defensive, plus I can guarentee you a archmage can save more than 120 points of other models, while a gaunt summoner does shit for dick against small units.

you have a point BUT its an unbelievable leap to claim they are both worth the same number of points.

Well, I take 2 Runelords for buffs usually, and keep them at more or less each flank. Usually putting Ancestor Shield on Longbeards and Ironbreakers for extra durability. Nothing like a 4+/4+/6+ ignoring Rend -1. Have had IB negate about 30 wounds a turn for 3 turns that way.

I do tend to run them pretty much as close behind the front lines of infantry as possible, and only back away if it looks like they might get into combat. They're "okay" sturdy to me--a 4+ save is nice, but their damage potential seems pretty shit IMO.

I also lose most games for the record so I'm not sure if I'm a good source of advice.

Archmage was pointed in GHB, and you complain that it's too weak for it's points.
They release something else that you consider stronger (by misreading in part), at that point cost, at a later date.

You assume this is because they don't care about point costs, when they could easily care, and want to put the units at a better point cost, starting with new units they release.

I never said I was "proud" of it you fucktard

I'm saying that these new squishy tzeentch wizards are entering a meta that already hard counters them

The meta is built around sniping buff heroes and that's against tougher units like Bloodsecrators, Knight Azyros, etc. A buff wizard with 5W and a 5+ save is garbage tier.

Have to wait and see if the Battletome gives them any kind of survival options like transferring wounds to nearby units, but their warscrolls give me a very poor impression for tzeentch in competitive play

Speaking fluff, the Kairic Acolytes are regular humans, but 'learn' magic, so does this mean you aren't necessarily born a wizard anymore but learn it? wasn't it different in fantasy?
>>
>>51199659
Nagash was a normal human (albeit a prince) and learn magic with the mortuary cult, then learn magic with a druchii then...[...] 8000 pages of fluff later he is Death incarnate.

I guess some races are magical by nature like sylvaneth or Elfs, but most just "learn"
>>
>>51199687 Sweet, didn't know that. The only thing I could think of was Archaon who was a fairly regular witchunter.

Makes the idea of Kairic Acolytes even cooler - some fat/lazy shopkeeper becoming a magical disciple of tzeentch is pretty awesome

Oh, it's twenty guys? That's fairly substantial, I had just assumed it would be ten like usual.

>>51200457
I think you can give them halberds and shields. The line about arming some with the double-handed glaives doesn't include the crucial word "instead", so I think technically those models get it in addition to their blade and shield/double blades.

I just realised that the Verminus Clawpack (Warlord, 3x Clanrats, Stormvermin, 3x weapon teams) comes out to an even 1000 points if you use 20-rat units for the Clanrats/Stormvermin and Warpfire Thrower teams. Is it at all viable or is there too much focus on lots of standard infantry for it to work that well?

The app leaked lot of things.
>>
>>51201241
They look cool and unique.
That's aesthetically appealing enough.
>>
so, the App leaked points cost and warscroll for lots of things.

Point Costs:

Kairos 340 Leader, Bbehemot, unique
Lord of change 300 Leader, Behemot,
Kairic Acolytes 10-40 140 Battleline
Blue Horrors 10-30 50
Brimstone Horrors 10-30 40
Magister 120 Leader
Tzaangor Enlightened 3-9 160
Tzaangor Shaman 120 Leader
Tzaangors 10-30 180 Battleline
>>
>>51201528
Tzaangors have an interesting points cost. At first I was surprised how high it was, but actually you get 20 wounds for those 180 points, don't you? Per-wound they're actually cheaper than the kairic acolytes (90/10 vs 140/10).
>>
>>51201581
Should add: tzaangors are more vulnerable to battleshock however.
>>
>>51201581
They also have a fuckload of attacks. The Warscroll was improved enormously.

they can have paired blades or shield
2 in 5 can have greatblades,
1 in 5 can be a mutant with +1 paired blades attack
The Leader has +1 to hit
Musician make them run and charge
Icon bearers in the hero phase roll a d6 for each mage within 9" (friend or foe) and do 1 mortal wound on a 4+ on an enemy within 18"

Savage Blades are 2 / 4+ / 4+ / - / 1
Greatblades are 1 / 4+ / 4+ / - 1 / 2
Beaks are 1 / 4+ / 5+ / - / 1

Arcanite Shields are the same

Twin blades get +1 to hit

Anarchy and mayhem get +1 to wound if an arcanite hero is within 9", no roll required

Savagery unleashed: +1 attack for each model attacking with blades or greatblades for every 9 models in the unit (maximum +3)

10 of them have 4 models attacking with 2 damage 2 attacks each.
>>
>>51201675
Strewth, that sounds pretty potent.
>>
>>51201528
Kairos

14 wounds, still 10" movement but now he gets slower as he's damaged

Melee weapons are now 2 attacks for the staff and 5 for the claws. Also the claws are damage 2.

Lost Secrets and Ciphers

Oracle of eternity now can't affect initiative roll

Mastery of Magic is unchanged

The rest is unchanged.
Lord of Changes

14 wounds, still 10" movement but now he gets slower as he's damaged

Weapons changed a lot. Now are


Missile

Rod of Sorcery 18" / 2d6 / 3+ / 3+ / - / 1

Melee

Staff of Tzeentch 3" / 3 / 4+ / * (same as before) / - / 2
Baleful sword 1" / 2 / 4+ / 2+ / -2 / 3
Wicked Talons 1" / 4 / 4+ / 3+ / -1 / 2

Everything else is the same
>>
>>51201299
>99
tzeentch be praised

I want to see the heads better, I was expecting something more than 3 different types of open, screeching mouths.
>>
>>51201528
Tzaangor Enlightened

Move 6"
Wound 3
Save 5+
Bravery 6

You can give them a disc for 16" move, 4 wounds and the disc attacks. I see no reason to do it.

MELEE

Spear 2" / 2 / 4+ / 3+ / -1 / 2
Beak 1" / 1 / 4+ / 5+ / - / 1
Disc 2" / d3 / 4+ / 3+ / -1 / d3

Leader get +1 attack with spear

Babblim stream of secrets:
+1 fleeing models from battleshock for each unit within 9"

Guided by the past:
If an there is an enemy unit that has already attacked in the combat phase within 3" they reroll hits and wounds

Preternatural Enhancement:
+1 to hit for spears and beaks if within 9" of a Tzaangor Shaman in the combat phase.
>>
>Disc of Tzeentch is as fast as the Steed of Slaanesh on mortals, but can also fly
>>
>>51201385
The formation gives a massive buff to the Warlord's 'Gnash-Gnaw on their Bones!' ability - it gives all units from his battalion within 13" an extra attack instead of just one - and it gives the weapons teams much more survivability by being able to shift wounds from themselves to nearby units, i.e. expendable Clanrats.

Hopefully that should be enough to make up for the lack of magic.
>>
So old time TS player unhappy with the new release here. When if ever will there be a start collecting box for the Tzeentch forces? Its the only thing holding me back. My inner jew wont let me buy into AOS when I 'know' there'll be one right after I buy.
>>
So, if I'm making up a list, how do I fill small-ish point gaps?

I'm making a 1k Bonesplittas list, and have 60pts left. But I can't fit anything into 60pts.
>>
>>51201933
>Steeds of Slaanesh have different rule sets for Herald/Chariots, Seekers and Mortals.
>>
>>51202025
Don't know if they've fixed it with the new tzeentch book, but so did disks. There's a range of different melee statlines for disks of tzeentch depending on what's riding the thing.
>>
>>51201933
power creep
>>
>>51202047
I didn't know that.
It bothers me that we have completely different speed though.

Steeds are 12" on Heralds and Chariots, 16" on mortals, and Seekers have 14" but run with 2 dice (which can be explain by the symbiosis, but that wouldn't explain why Heralds on Steeds don't have this).

So where can you find the point costs for these new models? Or are they basically unplayable in matched play until GHB2?
>>
>>51202020
You just lose the 60 pts. and if you have more left over pts than your opponent you roll on the triumph table.
>>
>>51189750
Hey goregruntas are good. Bring the gore-fist and BAM! You've placed your green and armored spear deep insid the soft and tender rear-guard of the enemy.

But for small point yeah, brutes are infinitely better.
