I'm pretty sure that's sort of the idea.

I doubt GW will ever actively shun the older armies, but I don't see most of them ever getting any real updates, and will instead just be phased out over time in favor of newer armies.

These steam punk dwarves are too over the top for me, I personally don't like having high tech stuff in my fantasy settings, I was ok with the way warpstone worked in the past and the winds of magic. But these dwarves brass balls just don't cut it aesthetically for me.

Just my opinion

Hi Captain
>>
>>52183655
Hardly, most of them are just find in AoS, if you have anything chaos its fine. The only ones that are out of place right now are the free people, and elves which hopefully get brought back, hopefully in a better rendition then fucking robo dwarves.
>>
>>52183545
Some of them fit, I think. The Freeguilds have been given a pretty firm place in the setting, with as many mentions they've been given in the newest Stormcast tome, and even a spotlight in City of Secrets. They're Order's primary empire builders.

Will they ever get a battletome? No idea. But out of all the WHFB Order legacy armies not phased out, they seem the most likely to be supported.

Bare in mind that the old dwarves probably aren't going anywhere any time soon. These guys haven't been called Duradin, and we've explicitly had Duradin mentioned in fluff including city of secrets where they had gryrocopters.

This feels more like a new large subfaction, same as the fyreslayers. The original dwarves will remain as the standard mountain halls and axes gang, but these guys have split off and become awesome pirates.

Fyreslayers: Crazy mercenaries who live in volcanic lodges
Overlords: Crazy airship pirates who plunder and steal
Dispossessed: Normal Dwarves who live in mountain halls and fight Skaven and gretchin and Orrucs.

Idk, Free Peoples could use an update. I DO wish that they merged the Empire and Bretonnia together into Free Peoples, along with keeping the Empire militia unit. I know they're freeguild guard but having the models around still would have been nice. I like playing the underdog Free Peoples.

Its easy to see why it erks people. Went from a setting with clear defined lines to a blur.

This is one of the biggest reason there is so much grief about AoS lore, its so ambiguous, people dont like ambiguity, your setting needs defined lines and boundaries. With out them, you get what the second main complaint about sigmar is, you just pull shit outta no where with no fucking reason.

the star wars expanded universe was good, i admit it needed some things cleaned up but that was because no one was fucking lore checking, but thats for another thread.

Yeah you can make a new story and advance it, but you dont open a bank before hireing the tellers and building a vault.

GW Rushed AoS out the door and it backfired hard, the AoS lunch was unarguably a massive blunder, lore and rules wise. Rules got fixed for the most part, but the lore is still a shit show.
>>
>>52184312
>Rules got fixed
Can you explain how it has changed since launch? I'm just getting into this.

>>52184296
gw is the company of mah dudes, It's lore is just fan fiction and tropes thrown into a blender that blends to the sound of megadeath.
>>
>>52184180
Nobody knows

Abilities that set up units should always cost points imo. Free units are ruining 40k
>>
>>52182757

FUCKIN STEAM DWARVES!

Finally my entrance to AoS can commence.
>>
>>52184323
At launch there were no point limits. No shit GW dropped all these models with rules and no point cost, and the rules were bring what ever you want. There was no limit to summoning either.

So basically since there was no limit to points who ever showed up with the most toys won. Nagash fucking dominated the game because he could summon up ungodly amounts of units for no point cost.

GW had to scrape together point costs for everything to make it actually playable because the community basically rejected it, our own local GW store could hardly even get people to play games. AND ON TOP OF THAT! they were starting a global campaign with no fucking points out at all. so store owners were forced to make it up as they went.
>>
>>52184323
Most importantly; points costs added

Its steampunk garbage.

Which leads to another reason so many people are pissed at AoS. Its destoryed the best WoW alternative. WHFB was a very good mid fantasy setting that was not tolkin or warcraft. and now Poof! its got to such high fantasy it might as well be modern.

The closest level of fantasy to WHFB i can think of is Tolkin lore which....fuck dude, you better break out a pipe and coffee because you're in for a LOOOOOOOONG night to try and get a grasp of that lore. That said, Tolkin IMO has the funniest lore for the creation of the dwarfs out of all fantasy settings.

Ok, so it looks like GW is sticking to the old khazalid script (klinkarun) for this stuff, which is way cool and an excellent callback.

Here are the translations on the sides of the ships:

>>52182895
unbrakbl (unbreakable)

>>52182920
khamon hamer (khamon's hammer? might be the name of someone)

>>52182999
ansestral fury (ancestral fury - the last rune is not of their alphabet or communication symbols. I had to look into it further because it looked so familiar, and it's a magic rune, more specifically the weapon rune of fury)

Looks like these guys, while they may not be beholden to Grungni, still revere their ancestors. These can still be the dwarfs we know and love, just a little more armed and armored... and flying. So excited to get my hands on these kits.
>>
>>52184498
>>52184506
So did everyone else, but the other two came back.
>>
You know, i collect dorfs for nearly 20 years now. Absolutely loved the viking aesthetics of 6th edition dorfs. Liked the newer ones that were there at the end of fantasy, although i was really mad about End Times. Just liked the dorfs last stand and that Hammerson character. Began converting Dorfs for 40k, but now...

Yeah. I'm pretty excited now about those flying fuckers. This will be tun. At least as an addition for my 40k dorfs. I am content. Especially since i don't really care for most of the Fyreslayers.

Im not even a AoS player or fan, just a anon browsing through the general forums, but even I can call bullshit when I see it.
AoS has outsold just about every aspect of WHFB, so despite your personal opinion, this game delivers far better than the oldhammer before it. It has also created room and opportunity for new players to enter the hobby, and has barged way for a "new GW thinking".

And I know you think everyone else is being wrong and unfair, and your opinion is the only thing that matters. Thats called being Autistic, but take comfort that there is a lot of you guys roaming the forums, so at least your not alone with this diagnose.

Adepticon trip report

The first presentation I saw was GW. They made some big announcements, like that stores are going to be allowed to sell online again, and that there will be a MAP (minimum advertised price) rule in effect in North America to prevent deep discounting online stores.

They also talked about how the company is doing very well, and it's a bit of a Golden Age for them.

I asked about Blood Bowl, and they'd confirm that another two teams are already in the pipeline, including one in about a month.

You mean the game that got no fucking attention, no video game appearance, had not had updated models in how many years? and was vastly over shadowed by its big brother 40k is being outsold?!?! holy shit man what an observation you must be like some next level marketer or something?!

No shit its out selling WHFB you fucking mongoloid, thats putting the bar so low you might actually trip over it. Thats like being surprised the sun rises. The reason AoS is doing so well now is because GW actually fucking markets for it, and made a game that does not require you to drop like 800 bucks to get into the game.

The worst part is, you wanna know what has gotten the most publicity for AoS? Total warhammer, i die a little when people come into the story saying "Oh i played total warhammer and heard it was a board game."

God i hope you are only pretending to be retarded.

I enjoy how AoS shills always fall back on the 'we're selling well' argument when someone points out its flaws.

1. Nobody knows how well it's selling because we have no data whatsoever.

2. Even the most ardent supporter of AoS must admit the rules leave a lot to be desired.
>>
>>52184512
What is the important about the number 144? Usually numerical scripts at clean divisions for easy conversions, the number 144 eithet has some significance or it simpy is a red herring to obscure the fact that GW was lazy and have them a base 10 system, I get why they would do it, to keep dates and numbers consistant, but base 12 is way more dwarfy, clean divisions of thirds of gold and repayments of a quarter of a debt.

That would be a great move on GW´s part. People want points to point to when confronted by accusation of cheese. When you have no points to refer to, and only your moral fiber. Thus many players stand there looking like a douche when curb-stomping all the opposition, as they have no talent for imagining the perspective of the opponent.

http://www.lustria-online.com/threads/seraphon-tactica-index.16590/

Take your pick of these threads, they all go into great detail about the strategies of unit positioning and compositions for Seraphon.

Unit screens, flanking maneuvers, and prioritizing damage output are all present in the game. You dont have direct benefits from flanking and charges, but rather indirect benefits like reducing enemy pile in numbers and splitting forces. AOS is a surprisingly deep game once you get past the surface. Its not the same game as WHFB and people really need to get over that fact - it has been two years, time to move on with your life instead of shitposting on a chinese image board.

These tactics seem cheap though, the game isn't portraying how people fought with melee weapons. Making a circle is just abusing the bad rules of the game and looks silly in my opinion, you could do this in WHFB with skirmishers and 'clip' the enemy to stop them wheeling but it was frowned upon.

I'm not really bitter at all, WHFB is as good as it's ever been. If you can't handle a simple debate where people might disagree with you I suggest you go back to the ball pit.

What?? Why the fuck should it portray that

This isnt a realistic game, its a high fantasy miniatures game about literal gods fighting alongside their followers in an infinite universe of sky pirate dwarves and dancing orcs and talking trees

If you want regimented combat then go find a different game

>Making a circle is just abusing the bad rules of the game
How is it "abusing" and how are they "bad" rules? Using the rules as they were intended is not "abuse", it is the literal opposite of abuse.

You know, now I feel like the fool. All this time I thought AoS shills were clinging to an abortion of a game. I picked it up, I had some fun with it. Then this comes out. I'm annoyed, but I realize you're right. Its me who's clinging to a dying game. You've shown your true colors. You aren't a WFB player, you have no connection with that universe, your a new and happy AoS player. It is not the same game, and I will not continue to play it. Maybe something else will catch my interest.

The new dwarves suffere from stormcast syndrome, no bare heads, they all the same. I'm not sure about the airships yet, the balloons looks pretty fucking dumb but the chassis is nice.

Overall better than fireslayers or stormcast but worse than any of the chaos releases or orcs.

Glad we could sort that out for you. Hope you find something you like.

Now stop shitting up the thread and go back to WHFB general.
>>
>>52185334

Well, last time I checked those Lizardmen were armed with melee weapons. So I would assume, despite all the magic, that a club still acts like a club in AoS. A mundane object shouldn't really act totally different just because it's a fantasy world.

It's abusing the game because I can assume the designers didn't want people to line their men up in a straight line or a circle. In all the stock images, and in every other skirmish game you tend to adopt a skirmish formation that is about as wide as it is deep. The designers intention is clearly not making it to the player because this is a more effective strategy than playing the game as it was intended.

I didn't say AoS was WHFB, I said this strategy has a comparable action in WHFB, comparable, not the same.

I'm happy for you if you like AoS but don't try and bullshit out of your arse that it's this deep gaming experience. It's fucking 4 pages on a PDF and has holes big enough to drive an articulated lorry through.
>>
>>52183655
Everything looks retarded in AoS, the point is to be so silly people stop taking it seriously anyway.
>>
>>52185383
Assuming you're not being sarcastic... Best of luck in your search

For the record (does a record matter on an anonymous board?) I played and enjoyed WHFB when I was younger but drifted away from it when GW went into ultra jew mode.

I regularly play Total Warhammer and Vermintide. I like the old world. I also like AOS. They're not mutually exclusive.
>>
>>52185406
>It's abusing the game because I can assume the designers didn't want people to line their men up in a straight line or a circle.
How do you possibly reach that conclusion?

The rules allow it, the developers obviously must intend for that.

>4 pages of rules
Do warscrolls and batallions and the GHB suddenly no longer exist?

AOS can be a deep gaming experience. Give it a chance, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Or dont and keep wasting your life with shitposting about a game you dont play, I really dont care either way

I need this in my life. Perhaps build an AoS28 board with floating island terrain and use different ship and skiff models as controllable terrain pieces, with perhaps a few rules for them toned down to turn them into more platforms than vehicles (guns need an operator, no hull points, can't sail over other terrain and has to move in-between different floating terrain...)
>>
>>52182940
>ya har get em lads
Imagine being swarmed by floating dwarves. How terrifying for that Bloodthirster.
>>
>>52182895
Harpoon, has anti-monster rules and/or high rend
Pointed front means bonuses on charging.
Extra propellers on the side imply that it is a fast unit.

>>52182920
Big repeater gun on the deck, probably lots of shots but lower rend
More cannons on the ships hull
Bombs on the side, possible fly-over damage ability
Anchor and wider design seems to imply that it is slower but sturdier, meant for sustained combat?

I love how customizable this kit looks. Theyve come a long way since the Carnosaur/Troglodon that only had a handful of differences.

Anon, I don't think you get the scale of 40k. There are only 1000 space marines in your average chapter. They're special forces which are used as shock troops in order to supplement the nearly infinite numbers of the Imperial Guard. Using solely super soldiers is stupid. You still need the regular troops to take lesser objectives. For example, say you have a group of grots hiding in a building. Do you send a squad of expendable guardsmen, or do you commit your extremely expensive elite space marines to destroying an enemy which is far weaker than them?
