>>51427651
are the stormgellants the ones who failed to oil up the gryphs and got punished with gel?
>>
>>51427678
There is a good chance the sculpts for these existed before AoS was ever released, considering the time gap between them being made and being released.

An Eavy Metal painter said they often see things two years, or a year and a half, before the public, so it's not like last month someone at a board meeting said "WE NEED TO MAKE MORE NOT-SPACE MARINES".

There probably are cases where a model will jump the queue a bit, but we are still talking a period of like, half a year, minimum.
>>
>>51427678
The shitty thing is. I can bet they're probably one of the more popular armies at the moment, simply by virtue of being one of the only ones getting new things and having all the beginners' sets catering to them. So new players play Stormcast since Stormcast are marketed as the "beginners' army" and since they seem to be the only ones getting shiny new sets, so Stormcast sales rise, so GW releases more Stormcast. Meanwhile other armies are neglected, so sales drop for them, so GW ignores them more.

Stormcast have almost 2-3x more models than all but two other Order armies, most Chaos armies, and all Death and Destruction armies. It's fucking ridiculous.

This despite the fact they're generic as hell, bulky, and all look the same so its hard to tell them apart because they're all just "big bulky golden guys with stern metal faces".
>>
>>51427782

I remember in an official interview how the minimum time period from concept to production and release, especially for limited run miniatures and/or easily sculpted with a computer on preexisting assets, was a single month.

Kinda astounding how much bitching people still do when it comes to stormcast. You'd think at some point you'd just accept it and roll with the inevitable release.
Then again, each space marine release will be whined about, so I guess that works out.

For the record, I like them quite a lot.

how so?

AoS aesthetics so far differ almost exclusively on the look of ruin and the stormcast influence.
>>
>>51428189
Like it or not, SC are the face of AoS and just as with space marines, there will be a yearly batch of new stuff, just like last years Chamber Extremis, plus a new hero here and there.
Just grin and bear it. Before sigmarines we got the gorgeous Tzeentch release and sooner or later we'll get something else people have been clamoring for.
Except for Slaanesh. Slaanesh probably gets the axe.

having a realistic base doesn't imply an absence of higher magical/fantastical elements on top of it.

There's no need to imply it when these elements explicitly didn't exist. Hellpit Abomination was the most impressive thing in the Old World before Nagash came back.

>>
>>51428804
It's more about the SCE started with nothing and are getting models within the last 2 years, whereas all other factions started with models from long before.

However, after this small wave of release, I feel SCE won't get anything new for a while, because they did say they were planning a 'complete' battletome, meaning the range is good for now. We are starting to see the return of army books and codexes.

>>

This is can believe. All these storm cast models are probably easy as fuck to design- it's just adding bits and bobs to the base CAD file, then having a computer program slice it up for a sprue. Then just wait for the factory to laser cut a model and their done.

Well in light of these amazing new miniatures for Stormcast (congratulations stormcast players) I am optimistic that when they do a proper elves release the new minis are going to be fantastic.

I do believe they will do elves eventually, there is too much money to be made there for them not to do it.

They will inevitably do more dwarves too, the all slayer army cant be the end of AOS dwarves.

No unless you are order or chaos you are fucked, and unless you are khorne or tzeentch for chaos or Stormcast and sylvaneth for order, you are getting nothing.

You know for AoS neck beard saying WFB fan are the salty ones you all sure do get triggered easy. Almost like, it hurts to admit GW is shitting up the game :^}

Rules are alright but the story and model lines being released are pretty shit right now, since they are trying to push order vs chaos like they are doing in 40k with IoM and the other guys.

WFB went from a shit ton of faction all with amazing background and stories to sigmarines and friends vs chaos and friend.

First they ask John Blanche "HEY DUDE DRAW US SOME SUPER-POWERED SIGMAR DUDES" so he's like "ok" and he comes up with something kinda cool, then the other dudes are like "NAH THIS IS NOT LIKE WoW ENOUGH" and they ask the OTHER designers (one of which I know) to make it appeal to people who grew up on WoW and you got the result here.

Thats your best bet but tomb kings have the mobility to stay out of threat range of WLC and then charge in on their turn

You need to kill Settra but he has 8 wounds, 3+ save, can benefit from cover, 5+ ward, and 6+ death save, and he can transfer 5 wounds to each Tomb Herald (which has a 6+ death save as well). It takes a lot of mortal wounds to kill Settra and Stormfiends are the best way to get that amount of MW because WLC are inconsistent.

well for one thing they need to ruin the aesthetics of the graceful new mount models, so shoehorning those out of place plate male covered riders onto them certainly did that.

>It's Morbäck.
I found his blog where he lists the miniatures he made or participated in their making
but about the stormcasts I'm not finding anything suggesting he did influence their original concept: he has worked on celestant, paladins and prosecutors, all derivative concepts of the basic liberator he didn't work on as far as his list goes.

he also comments that each sculpt is made in the style he is commissioned to adhere to with what sound as relatively strict limits.

I honestly am having doubts it was him that influenced the design away from blanche's, but if you have more details or sources about this I'd like to hear them.
>>
>>51431936
Alright, let me rephrase that: The warmachine-esque long-ranged support we've needed to fuck up shit at a distance greater than 24".
Because as nice as Judicators with skybolt bows are, artillery often outranges them something fierce and the Celestant Prime costs an arm and a leg, awsome gun or not.

John blanche is not artistic director anymore for health reasons, More likely they say to some underling "hey man come up with a rough silhouette that's a bit like a space marine in fantasy" and he does something, then they send it to Blanche to flesh out a rough style (baroque roman angels.) then it gets taken back for trimming.

I like the stormcasts but like most things they would have been much cooler if the design team had had the confidence to try and turn blanches drawings into reality right off the bat.

They're amazing.
Anything that outranges Judicators should be dealt with by deep strike or dracothian guard.

Thing is, not even kidding, SC has got the tools for everything already. Sure its great they are getting more toys, im all for more toys for everyone.

It just rings false to me when I read arguments about how SC "need" anything more. Sure its great to have more but they don't "need" it.

I'm not so sure.
The Stormcast have a very simplistic design and that's intentional, while Blanche is master of fiddly bits.
>>
>>51432223
aye, and i see why they went with simplistic.After all these are freshly forged warriors. But perhaps as time goes on we might see each subsequent release add more and more personality to each individual warrior, save for those few that loose too much of their souls and become soul less war machines .
(speaking of, squad of rusted, beaten, oddly equipped stormcasts who have double wounds but half speed to play as those who have been reforged too many times.)
>>
>>51432188
Fair enough, I suppose. Then let me instead say that I appreciate getting more options to deal with cannons that don't strictly force me into batallions. I did like playing defensive brick with my SC when AoS started and maybe some really long-ranged firepower would make that a little more viable once more.
Also, I used to play brets, so I know what it's like to never get any love from GW. I feel for all the neglected factions, but at the same time I cannot stop but be happy that my guys get more stuff.

>>
>>51432249

I doubt it. They're simple for the same reason space marines are. As the vanilla starter faction they should be easy to paint. With marines, as long as you can get an even coat over the body, not go outside the lines on the trim and do the eye lenses and boltgun in appropriate colours you'll have something of tabletop quality.

Similarly, with Stormcast so long as you do metallic all over and an even coat on the shields/pauldrons it will look alright. Very good for kids and noobs.
>>
>>51432223
>simplistic design and that's intentional
the problem is that, unlike with space marines, the few decisions that shaped the simplistic, basic, design just don't work:
from the uniformly invariable face mask to the extreme bulk and the horizontally flat pauldrons.
these elements are distorted analogs to the marine, failing in bringing the same effect to the table:
the marine's helmet is minimalist in the imitation of a human skull and as such allowed numerous alternative designs; the marine, as much as the original design goes, is intended to be just slightly "larger than life", evoking extreme, but still realistic proportions; the pauldrons develop mainly vertically and are used to frame the figure solidly.
with the stormcast you get already ridiculous proportions getting even more accentuated by the horizontal lines on their shoulders topped by a helmet that fail at either give it character or the simplicity of a uniform.

the sigmarines could have easily run on the hype for gritty fantasy like dark souls, witcher and the reinassance for the appreciation of history inspired designs for their basic look, but it seems the turn around to a new ceo looking to get in touch with the world came too late.

after more than one and a half thread reiterating how these same visual elements are underlined as unappealing (especially in association with slimmer designs like the new gryphs) you can't just pretend they wouldn't sell way MORE.
>>
>>51432178
The design they ended up with is NOT THAT DIFFERENT.
>>
>>51432681
the fact they sell more isn't important, since instead of buying those you bought other armies that appeal more to you, faglord.

They're wearing full plate armour. Stick limbs like in Blanche's art would've been impossible either way. The only REAL difference is that they went with fake anatomical detail on the armour rather than heraldic ornamentation like in Blanche's pictures.

I posted a shot of my witch elves I was painting and had it pointed out to me that they resembled something called "blood elves" from WOW.

I looked a little deeper into the situation and was able to determine that the warhammer witch elves (who have a blood centric lore background) predated the WOW game by over 10 years. Since I've never played WOW before I was shocked at how blatantly they had copied the witch elves from games workshop.

Now people >>51432669 insist whenever I post pictures of my witch elves that they are blood elves. Its fine, I don't mind, they are a great idea.

A GW release without something big and huge these days is abnormal. I'm surprised 40k Harlequinn's didn't get some giant clown mech.

How many years until GW reimagines AoS as a dark and gritty setting for mature people such as myself?

And don't say that it will not happen because it probably will. They did the same thing with WHFB in the late 90's. This trend always goes in cycles and GW loves money more than integrity.

Are Freeguild on the same level as Beastclaw Raiders? I have a Freeguild Regiment but I've found I can't compete at higher points. Plus horde army.

Lets play a game:

post how many hundreds of points they will increase this units points cost by in GHB 2.0.

I'll start... I think it goes up by 150 points.

What say you?
>>
>>51435999
Why did you post a picture of your average Aelf lover?
>>
>>51435983
yes but the frostlord on stonehorne is a rapemachine that kills everything (see last stream where 2 of them charged a cocky sylvaneth player that deployed alarielle too close and lost alarielle turn1)

Both are really equally good and is mostly depending on the rest of the army or personal preference, some field 4 thundertusk some 4 Stonehorne, some mix.

Must be a slow day in wfb general for them to be shitting this thread up so much. I dont care much for sigmarines and other armies are in need of BT way more but it is what it is, i do find it amusing that SE to wfb players is like a red rag to a bull. They get so fucking mad people are actually playing this game.

I don't get it. Are you saying that I think SC have a 50 point discount? Maybe they do, maybe they don't, im not sure either way. In any case how is that related to this? >51436009

Go on a poop study.

Look at the subtle textures, the feels, the tastes.

Examine that poo in detail.
What was eaten to craft the poo? Was it an upset stomach poo or a good old yule log? Was it corn and cabbage? How did the poo end up where it was?
Learn the story of the poo.
Become the poo.

And the poo will open its secrets to you.

Khorne player here. Where are these new kits you speak of? Where is our updated Battletome?
>>
>>51437059
I'm in the same boat as that guy. I mostly only use assassins, but night runners and gutter runners make good backbone harassers.
>>
>>51437059
>http://www.strawpoll.me/12214046
Eshin is really popular and moreso since the GT stream
>>
>>51437059
Gutter Runners and assassins are fucking sweet.

Ninja rats
>>
>>51437121
Yeah, but they're fuckugly (no offense to skavenposters). Not the assassins, but night runners and gutter runners. I always convert them out of clanrats or nickthem from other kits.
>>
>>51437142
No arguments here.

Most of the metal Skaven are fuckugly.

Ikit-claw is one of the few exceptions.
>>
>>51437179
Its a pity he's so damn hard to piece together. I've been trying to assemble one recently but the claw bit doesn't want to fit together without leaving a might great big gap between the pieces.

Do any anons know if the Skaven Assassin is a metal figure too or a plastic one?
>>
>>51437264
It's finecast
>>
>>51437142
Skaven desperately need updates on a lot of their models.

That's the kind of shit GW should be spending their time on instead of more fucking Stormcast.

Models that are very outdated or just plain shit.

Warplock Jezzails
Rat Ogres
Giant Rats
Rat Swarms
Plague Monks
Plague Censer Bearers
Night Runners
Gutter Runners
Clan Rats
Warlock Engineers
Ratling Gun Weapon Team
Skryre Acolytes (seriously, buy them one model at a time?)

I'm not including models from the Spire of Dawn set since that shit is sold out everywhere.

Skaven need a lot of work. Sure they got new models during the end times but their regular infantry puts off a lot of potential customers around my town.

You can see similar outdated models throughout the other armies as well. Stormcast does NOT need new models. Age of Sigmar would become a hell of a lot more popular if every army had models that were as nice as the new kits today.
>>
>>51437532
Clanrats are outdated? I think they still look pretty good.

The rest of those are pretty accurate though. It's jarring to see some of those oldass models next to "newer" (as far as Skaven go) ones.

So, death player here- After rounding out my collection, I've felt like starting up a new army, and I think I've decided on Freeguilds- with a twist. I want to make my army entirely out of constructs, with the theming that they are the construct armies of a wizard. As such, I am looking for mini's that would fit the tone of the army. So far, I've found a god-send in the form of Relic's Britinan range, which features a lot of doll like golems wielding fire arms and long swords, making them perfect for the Freeguild. However, I still need some help finding more miniatures that fit the bill.

Anybody have some suggestions?
>>
>>51437766
Why not paint freeguild guys as undead ?
>>
>>51437308
New blood bowl gutter runners look great
>>
>>51437782
For two reasons:

I find the Freeguild guard and other assorted infantry are some of the worst looking humans that GW has ever made. I also think they are fairly over priced, seeing as I could simply buy some historical gunners or such.

Secondly, I want a good, clean break with the Undead. I have collected everything from Vampire Counts to Tomb Kings, and I Feel like I have had enough of the spooky undead. I want constructs, mechanical beings as the such.
>>
>>51437612
If you look at the quality they can put out these days clanrats are shite. Hell I'd even say Stormvermin as well.
>>
>>51437872
Stille better than the shitmaster of tzeentch.
that small shield is almost comical
>>
>>51437766
These models look faaar too comical to be used in warhammer, not even close to an appropriate art style.

But whatever floats your boat I guess.

I am fucking about to throw this eternity warden in a furnace. I cant get his arm to line up with the other arm for him to hold his beating stick. Finecast is the worst thing anyone could have invented. And I still need to get kroxigors.

Doom Diver's:

And the "female" man eater:

I think its still fair game.

They just don't look like they fit the Warhammer universe, they look like cartoon characters, more so than the GW models imo.

I mean, I guess, but that's partially the paintjob, and partially the design. They're sorta like toy soldiers given actual weapons. Besides, GW has cartoony stuff like the Freeguild mini's and Skeleton's.

Hey dudes.

I was asking about seraphon in the last thread. After grabbing the battle tome I'm loving the look of the army. Tell me why the battleforce is so bad, what should I start with? I'm liking saurus guard, teradons and bastilodons. Are they bad?
>>
I just want Settra to come back, atop a gigantic obsidian scorpion construct, and kick some ass with a construct army behind him. Is that so much to ask?
>>
>>51438526
yes, settra is nagash bitch
>>
>>51438581
Yes, but this time he'd be part of order.
>>
>>51438502
Whatever you want, though that sounds feasible.
The seraphon turned out to be a balanced force in AoS, good against most things, with a bonus against chaos daemons. You have something for every task. Warriors to be fodder, gum up an objective, etc.
The Guards, when used right, arent necessarily there to deal wounds, they are put there to hold the line and not die. Bastilidon with laser is always good, A slann to buff, Kroak to kill. Heroes that buff and kill. Just read what they do and see for yourself. Also, if you are getting started, buy 2 of the start collectings if you are on budget, as it offers a Carnosaur/Troglodon, and with the 2 boxes you'd have enough warriors and cavalry to get the job done until you expand.

>>
>>51438851
I guess you can buy some bits from saurus guard and change his weapon and add some snake/feathers or By having the same skin color as the saurus guard if the saurus have a different skin color from the other guys in your army
>>
release shadow elves already.
>>
>>51427920
You'll hear ZERO bitching from me! I LOVE Stormcast. I love going to FLGS and playing all the other guys who have Stormcast, which is pretty much most of them. Shit, they should have just called the game Age of Stormcast.

Think I'm being sarcastic. NOPE! Stormcast is all there there should be! Fuck your army.
