I ordered some mantic undead. These looked neat so I got em. Do you think if I made em hover a bit higher and put them on cavalry bases they would work as hex wraiths?

Alternatively put two on a cavalry base.

Other than cairne wraith what could they be?

>>52196837
I find the lack of trihorns disgusting

>>52196878
>Do you think if I made em hover a bit higher and put them on cavalry bases they would work as hex wraiths?

Yeah. As they are they are too small for proxying a cavalry model, but if you play with the bases it should go well.

>>52196837
It looks like shit. No dignity whatsoever.

>>52196837
Is that a squat model?

What are some colours you'd like to see Troggoths in?
I'm thinking of purples and oranges so far but I want to do a really diverse load of colours.

Think of a water-rlated enviroment they could be in like a swamp, oasis, jungle river etc and give me some colours that you'd think Troggoths from there look like.

>>52197039
You know what I mean, it's different to other Stormcast Pauldrons and doesn't look like a lion or something.

If I were to make exotic trolls, then i'd do something with the scales and imagine a kind of exotic fish.

Like bright orange scales, with the skin having different hues of teal and the leathery ear bits,eyes and perhaps claws or horns have some popping color like dark red or deep purple with a strong edge highlight.

Example of a palette would be.

My waaagh energy is crackling at the idea of modelling a slingshot to launch savage orruks onto those airships.

Imagine Apocalypse Now, except it's steampunk skydwarves vs greenskins.

>>52196837
Honestly I do think GW has ventured too far into the technological side of things with these guys. Too many of them look like honest-to-god Squats that walked straight out of 40k instead of Dwarfs with fancy powder and steam contraptions.

Going to be pinching some of those rotary guns though, I bet they'll make excellent Ratling Guns with a bit of work.

>>52197474
This release aint half bad, the ships are lovely, but that fucking tophat... I try really hard to like AoS, I honestly do, but stuff like this makes me weep for the Old World.

>>52197553
Some of us are above the age of 13.

Got my first AoS tutorial game at the GW tomorrow, suddenly worried they're going to expect me to bring my own models to what is supposed to be an introductory game and laugh me out the door

Not that anon, but does it not make your cringe, even a little bit though? The flight suit guys are really nicely designed, but Mr Tophelmet doesn't seem to match the aesthetic they've tried to build in the slightest.

>>52197553
Even as a grognard I'll admit that the airships are kind of neat.

But a guy with a literal steam-powered top hat, monocle and handlebar moustache with built-in guns? That's just laughably bad.
Different guy by the way.

>>52197687
He's a character, he's allowed to look different.

>>52197687
Nah, because Fantasy, AoS and 40k always have stupid shit.

If I want to be mature or respected, I would have thrown my toy army into the trash.

>>52197687
I think that even without the tophat he is an eyesore.

>>52197687
Not him, but why not? He has a top hat welded onto his helmet. By the other standards, such as the armored parrot or the beards of metal that is fairly benign.
The only thing that bothers me about that design is the chainfist. That thing does look out of place.

>>52197706
Eh, different strokes and all that, I guess. I still have a soft spot for steampunk, so I guess I tolerate an armored tophat easier than others.

>>52197731
>>52197712
>>52197718

I'm not saying it's wackier than anything else, if they were all Victorian Steampunk then I'd buy the look. It's more that it seems out of place in the Dwarven/Pirate/WW1-Aviator look they've got going.

Not hating on AoS, I just think it stands out as a bit odd.

>>52197390
FUCK YOU. That model literally gives me erections. You are garbage.

>>52197687
Fun is a filthy parasite.

>>52197687
Well I'd've preferred him with a bowler.

Joke aside, it's a fun optional part.

>>52197793
Oh, agreed on that. He does stand out, no doubt, I just think he does so in a good way (again, bar the chainfist). A unique character in fact *should* stand out, I'd say.

Why is geedubs making everything gold?
I don't want me army to be associated with Borecast Eternals. AKA Snorecast Eternals.

>>52197568
I kinda agree. I want more steam engine looking shit on them.

>>52197829
...I kinda want that now. Couple of dwarves wearing armored bowlers.

>>52197790
Fun's been a part of Warhammer since it's origins, but for the most part it's kept a well thought through design aesthetic. Each model draws upon its race's themes and motifs and that gives a unified look to the army as a whole. Maybe they'll go with a full blown, cliched victorianpunk look in the end with these guys, but at the moment this character looks weirdly out of place.

>>52197793
The thing is that GW doesn't care for an aesthetic (or technological) coherence and just mashes in whatever looks cool. I think it's ok, because the fluff is so weak. So if I have to do the fluff work myself, the minis better be great. I can understand when people who care for the AoS fluff think certain things look weord though. Even I can't get over the fact how the new SCE guns look liike Bolters. It's really obvious that GW wants to sell marines. The SCE fag in my group loves them though, so I guess GW did the right thing...

>>52197918
Now you just impalled my third and last room mate. Next time you're going to say you've got a girlfriend anon?

It's most likely a seperate bit that takes a second to replace if you have other dorf kits. If it isn't it takes maybe two minutes to seperate the head and replace it. Why does this bother you so much?

I thought it might just be a well made serrated blade. It doesn't look like it would function if it was a chainfist.

>>52197862
Yeah that's fair, I can see the appeal. I think I've been so put off of Steampunk in the past 10 years that my knee-jerk reaction is to spit tea at the sight of it.

The Ships I'm sure we can agree are things of beauty.

I never understood why things like body armour and weaponry is bronze/copper with steampunk-type designs. Personally I don't think it looks that great; everything kind of drowns in a sea of metallic yellow and stops the detail from popping out that much.

>>52198091
Because steampunk is based around steam power, and copper having both superior malleability and heat dissipation was the superior metal for steam works. Think you're copper heat sink (aluminium isn't really a large force yet). Brass while similar to copper is a littler worse by more resistant to corrosion and oxidation making it the hardier material for harsh environments (air ships).

I wonder if theyre going to repurpose some of the dispossessed or ironweld arsenal into the new overlords faction

i can see them bringing over cogsmith, gyrocopters, and irondrakes

>>52198133

>>52197862
My biggest beef with hims is that stovetop hats are chaos dorf, so unless they're trying to tie them together it's not that fitting.

A top hat, beaver hat, high hat, silk hat, cylinder hat, chimney pot hat or stove pipe hat, sometimes also known by the nickname "topper", is a tall, flat-crowned, broad-brimmed hat

Metal models look fine but I think the real reason to prefer plastic is because it's so much easier to work with. I can understand that some people have grown used to working with metal minis, but with plastic it's easier to cut, glue, apply magnets and that lightness makes it the better material to convert with. You also just wouldn't get models like the new Celestine in metal.

The han can be sawn down ans reshaped, or removed ans sculpted over, as for the saw, I've a feeling it's optional, maybe with a drill variant.

>>52198655
I'm sure that there was some conversation about that in the design department. They could well have started like that, but these current models still have a strong fantasy feel, what with the "balloons" and (even more than typical 40k) impractical guns. I'd wager that they killed off any chance of being in 40k quite early on.

>>52198230
Some (a lot) new units in a less tacky fashion (no need to be BONE 100%, add some wood and maybe tombstones/whatever inspired things) but with similar ideas would be the second (third?) coming of jesus nagash to death with some fluff books, even something wacky halloween flavored would be cool.

No, that's aetherpunk, or "magitek" if you will.
Steampunk is "what if steam engines were as efficient (or more) as gasoline engines", no magic, no tesla coils.

But fuck it, dividing punk genres is as uphill an effort as dividing goths, emos, scenes, vamps and viccans.

Pffft no. You can have a steampunk faction that is pure steam science that happens to live in a world with magic. Naturally scientists would investigate magic.
Steam punk is not what if was, steampunk is just a setting where steampower is dominant and the preferred form of technology.
Because steam power is still worthwhile using to this day.

So since skyship dwarfs have been confirmed, what's the odds of that sky pirate goblins faction popping up?

I don't care much for Age of Sigmar, but if there's anything that woild get me to give the game a second chance, it'd be sky pirate gobbos.

>>52199663
where did people get the idea of sky goblins anyway? That's literally warcraft's use of gobbos

>>52199692
I'm fairly sure that one of the early AoS fluff paragraphs mentioned dwarf zepplins constantly being accosted by goblin flying machines, though I can't provide a source off the top of my head.

Also, are yoy really surprised that something from AoS is derived from warcraft?

There was also mention in some AoS fluff about sky goblins.

Do you guys think that any of the "old world" armies will ever get a battle tome or new sculpts for existing units? I personally don't think they will. It's only going to be new factions and new shit maybe some repackaged old stuff like the bone splittaz. I just don't see them remaking orcs and goblins without "reimagining" them. Could be wrong but I think the old wfb armies have a style that is moving quite far away from the newer aos armies.

This doesn't bother me by the way, I'm quite excited to see how the free guilds and whatever variation of elves look like when they come.

Also why has this release reignited the grognards rage?

>>52199985
Dorfs and their players are traditionalists.
Steampunk also gets hate
so does introducing technology to a magic game.

Now stick all three in a bowl and mix.

>>52199455

But the skin to armor ratio on stormcasts has been increasing, all the new kits have an unhelmeted option which puts them on par with old school warriors of chaos

>>52199985
Brcause dwarf players are the most stubborn and traditional players WHFB had, and this release directly aggitates them.

I sure as shit know that my Dwai will never set foot on an Age of Sigmar board. I'll just stick to using my Stormcasts, and any new AoS army instead of sullying my honourabe dwarf hold with AoS play.

Gotta let them retire in dignity.

>>52199985

That's what happened to sylvaneth, half of their model range already existed before they were their own faction

>>52199455
Bullshit, if anything, it's hard to find actually FLAT surfaces on any new models, like how Archaon Vanguard have ridiculous amounts of patterns on their armor. The reason is to make it harder for recasters to make copies of their stuff.

>>52199751
What? There is a piece of art in WHFB of goblin airships.

Also in the MMORPG there a goblin airship that took places to places.

Hey guys, would a Devoted of Sigmar army (or units) be able to join up with a Freeguild army?

I've converted a badass barbarian warrior priest and I kinda want to get some Flagellants and marauder kits and make a horde of barbarian Sigmar worshipers lol

>>52200131

>>52198325
The Ironclad looks like it is big enough to ram a fucking Treelord.

>>52196960
Guy at las vegas gw stand told me
It's not the final art, is a brand new game and very different than anything we've done, is not a shadow wars counterpart, new game mechanics and beatiful models/scenary.

I'm a Sylvaneth player and I was recently toying with the idea of taking the Ironbark Wargrove battalion just to paint up some dorfs then I see this new release.
It's a sign

>>52200312
TELL US

Is this gonna focus on annoying Stormcast/Bloodbound or is it actually Death or anything besides the previously mentioned?

I'm away from my books. If you have a 1500 point list, does it use the 2 battleline variant of 1000 points, or the 3 battleline variant of 2000?

I've got the model (I'm an ex-high elf player and it's the only Hysh-themed thing for my Poor Wandering Ones) but I want to have a good reason to use it instead of just grabbing some humans and putting them behind a big-boom.

Is it possible to steal the soul of a Stormcast? I'm asking for lore developing reasons.

>Play skydwarfs

Why are they so perfect?

>>52200669
So it's possible then to steal the soul. I just wanted to make sure before writing something and someone saying it was Mary Sue tier

So why are the Kharadron Overlords an Order faction instead of a Destruction faction?

>>52200633
In theory yes, but you'd have to be a lot quicker than normal, which is saying something for souls. When they die, their souls go back to Sigmar to be reborn and reforged, but you could theoretically, if you knew that was coming, capture it on the journey.

Well the idea is to forge the soul into a gem. I'm that chaos dwarf fag who keeps posting in the threads with updates on pic related. The lore I got for these gems on the shoulders is that they are forged from the souls and ashes of their enemies in a horrifying hydraulic press. So I fancied the idea of the Daemonsmith in charge of this group wanted to capture "Lightning in a bottle" so to speak, and forge these brilliant gems made from the souls of suffering heros of the mighty warrior god Sigmar.

>>52199626

May I recommend having him capture one and torture him to near-death to study the way his soul is different from others'? As I said, their soul acts very differently. Nagash is actually really pissy, because he feels like he should have rights to those souls and he doesn't.

>>52200885
As much as I hate 'safe space' jokes, I'll give you that one just for the TRIGGERED pun.

I very much like that idea, and yeah, the thing with Nagash is the very reason why I didn't want to go out and just write that he was able to do so, given that the literal god of death couldn't take their souls.

>>52200091
>The reason is to make it harder for recasters to make copies of their stuff.
I think that helps, but I doubt it's the only reason. I mean it's definitely the reason plates are now super adorned.

I wanna build a mantic block of 40 skeletons.

Just realized after looking at my sprues that 3 on each sprue are molded with handweapons attached to body. (one of which is attached to torso in a way that would require hours of carving)

Should I just get over my autism and let 12 of my 40 skeletons have handweapons?

>>52200943
Well, the thing with Nagash isn't that he can't capture Stormcast souls, it's that he feels he shouldn't have to. He's the God of Death, and by rights all souls go to him when they die, and this motherfucker isn't playing by the rules. He shouldn't have to personally intervene just because Sigmar gave them a fancy suit.

>>52200996
You want them to have the spears? Just model them with hand weapons and spears and say they have spears. I mean the games all imagination, so it's not unbelievable have the occasional guy equiped different.

>>52201019
Actually, Nagash can personally capture Stormcast souls. Taros freed his brothers souls from Nagash but lost his to the Great Necromancer. Nagash tortures his soul for information now.

>>52201088
That's what I was saying. Nagash can capture Stormcast souls, but he feels affronted because he has to go capture them instead of having them just show up.

If I was gonna read a introduction to the world of Age of Sigmar which novel would I pick up?

>>52200071
>avid dwarf player

Stormcast souls? Yes. Greater Daemons, daemon weapons (Like Khul's axe), and Nagash can steal their souls

There's nothing in the rules against mixing order/chaos/death/destruction. If you complain about it you're grognarding. I suggest you read the rules they're only 4 pages.

Not if you're using points, Anon.

Freeplay or narrative it's fine, but not if you use points. Has to be from a single alliance.

>>52197164
More imaginative than any other dwarves I;ve seen. I'm hopping into Sigmar with a huge order of them and Beastclaw Raiders. 10k other companies offer generic Tolkien dwarves. Now I don't mind them, but at this point in fantasy they are played out. Every single dwarf I see except Age of Sigmar and Elder Scrolls are all 85% the same. I guess dragon age treacherous dwarves might count too, but only a half count.

any good age of sigmar channels on youtube?

after having painted a few of the more egregious Age of Sigmar models, I can safely say that 90% of GW's paint schemes make these things look FAR worse than they do with a decent paint job.

Those are the pitched battle rules, not matched play rules. That's literally a restriction on one type of game (there are three types of match play games), in one type of play (of which they're are also three types).

>>52202278
You need melee units to win games.
Standard slow infantry blobs serve this purpose adequately, and Khorne has plenty of them, which is thematically fitting.
The problem is that the only unit available to the Bloodbound that isn't standard melee footsloggers is subpar cavalry, which is a problem in a game where mobility and threat range are king.

They can still take stuff from Slaves to Darkness, though. Keep this in mind, you'll need it.
