Sure, just talk about it with your group. SC! box is always a good pick

Depends - you should talk with your people

A potential new player here. I've been looking at the growing model range of AoS and finally decided to ask some difficult questions that had been holding me from jumping in.

I really like the models but I wouldn't want to spend a lot in one go as big loads of plastic crush my motivation to paint them. Instead would it be possible for me to buy some chaos boxed sets like Blightkings or start collecting add some 3rd party models that look like they would fit (barbarians / spawns/ big deamons) and play slightly bigger games while adding more in expectations for a Slanesh/Nurgle battle tome?

What is the communities reaction to 3rd party models exactly? I take that your 9th age counterparts have no problem with them but how is AoS in that regard?

What type of table is the game played on? Particulary interested in size and terrain density.

>>52277980
Well, you won't be able to play in GW stores. But if your FLGS aren't entirely autists, you'll be fine.

Made a warscroll for my dracoth chariot.
Basically, it's just two Concussors sharing a base and with some refluffed abilities.
Opinions?

Varies. Most people are chill with it, as long as the other stuff fits. Obviously this will not fly in GW stores.

Make it a monster with a damage table instead.

>>52277980
Talk to the people you'd be playing with. Cannot stress this enough. I'm the Renegade Freeguild dude, and I've not been doing this because of the fact that the AoS crew plays at the GW in town and I know that shit won't fly there. However, I've talked to the actual players, and they'll be moving to the FLGS probably sometime this summer and they've all be down for the idea.

>>52278147
It was before GHB IIRC so this box was made for open play. 20 would be to much and you have 2 extra warriors for bits and trying paint schemes

>>52278077
All youve done is make a squad of Concussors but with less total wounds.

>>52278075

I'm coming to AoS from 40k.

Is having this number of heroes normal? I'm so used to HQs basically being a tax outside of a few exceptions.

>>52278293
Depends on the faction and the hero
This list uses heroes to buff the rest of the army

>>52278253
That seems to have been the point. Also, pretty sure all dracothian guard have 5 wounds.

>>52278293
It is not unheard of. For some armies this is even necessary.

>>52278293
You pretty much get the choice. You get the option of a lot of HQ slots at higher points values, but depending on your army and what you're looking to do with it it can vary (lots of heroes have special abilities that act like force multipliers, others are just good beatsticks).

Though, generally speaking, AoS does have a lot more heroes on the table than 40k.

>>52278398
That chariot has the damage output of 2 dracothian guard, but with 3 less wounds

If that was the point... why? Do something more creative

>>52278293
I have 4 leaders, a Beastlord and 3 Great Bray Shaman.

You can end up having a bunch because they can buff other units.

>>52278293
They main role is to buff other units. Have you made your first list? If yes, mind to share?

>>52278652
Fuck - their*

>>52278475
2x5 is 10, dude.

>>52278475
Well, people always bitch about unique warscrolls being made too powerful, so the obvious solution would be to use a already existing warscroll. Yes, it's not the peak of creativity, but sometimes corners need to be cut, because I really want to use that fucking thing. I invested quite a lot of work into it and having it sit around unused seems like a waste.

>>52278153
Giving it the profile of a Stardrake doesn't fit that model at all.

>>52278702
Woops, I misread the Bravery as Wounds

Idea for an all grot 2k list.

Just kinda messing around, any good?

Allegiance: Destruction

Leaders
Arachnarok Spider With Grot Shaman (280)
- Battlebrew
Gitmob Grot Shaman (80)
Moon clan Grot Warboss (80)
-General
-Bellowing tyrant
Moonclan Grot Shaman (60)
- General

Battleline
one unit of 40 Moonclan grots with spears (240)
Two units of 40 Gitmob Grots with bows (400)

Other
10 Spider Riders (200)
3 Spear chuckas (360)
2 grot fanatics (60) (had 30 points left over)
Mangler Squigs (240)

So the idea is to get the most out of the casters and leaders with the troops.

The Moonclan grots move up with the warboss buffing them up to get a bunch of attacks with bellowing tyrant allowing them to get +1 to hit +2 to wound and with the ability that allows double damage, this unit can be surprisingly punchy.

The Gitmobs is to get a a strong shooting attack and with the gitmob caster, allowing for +1 wound and rend which would allow nearly 40 attacks at 3+/4+/-1/1 which can be quite a few wounds. The spiders are to be on the flank and move up. The spiders would attempt to take the first hits and tie up the enemy when momma spider comes hitting hard with +1/+1 for allowing d6 mortal wounds on a 5+.

The spear chuckas are for objective camping and hero sniping. Once the heroes are gone, it's just laying into troops for force battleshock tests.

i'm not opposed to losing a spear chucka to move around some points and losing a fanatic to free up 150 points.

This is my first list, using Bonesplitterz.

>>52278849
>two heroes
Nah mate - this isn't even your final form

>>52278849
Nah, man. Get 20 Arrowboys instead of 2 10s, they get double attacks.

So I just picked up a Soul Grinder that had been sitting in the back of my local GW for my Slaves to Darkness army.

It came with a 100 by 150 mm rectangle base. Is there an equivilent oval base I should be using? What do people use for 40K?

>>52278892

More? Cuz it's only at 1k. Boyz before toyz and all that, right?

>>52278937

Alright, I'll merge those units into one big one.

>>52278972
>More? Cuz it's only at 1k. Boyz before toyz and all that, right?
I mean that you should not be scared of using heroes in your armies - you will see by yourself when you have enough of them or if you tried to put too many of heroes on your list. I'm not a Bonesplitterz player so I can not rate your list but believe me - heroes can be really useful so don't try to play it as 40k

>>52278972
Sorry not double attacks. They get 30 attacks if they're in blocks of 10, 80 if they're in blocks of 20.

>>52278840
>not full spiders
I'm not really seeing the point. You cut into the real strength of the spiders by not having the Boss, Shaman, and Bellowing Tyrant combine to give 2 Mortal Wounds on a 4+. You might have more little grots for use as tarpitting, but you'd pretty much always be better off just drowning the enemy in hordes of spiders. Remember that Bellowing Tyrant's +1 means that you rolling a 4 gets counted as a 5 for the sake of proccing the spider venom.

>>52278849
>only 20 arrowboyz and they ain't even slingin' dakka together for extra shots
Why?

>>52279037

BUT DAT'S WRONG, YAH GROT.

IT'S TWANGA!

>>52278849
>10 man arrowboyz
Naw son

>>52278951
170x105 Oval seems the best idea.

They don't have bases in 40k.

>>52279033

Coming to AoS from 40k comes with a tonne of bad habits from 40k listbuilding. For example, in 40k, most heroes are either backfield buff machines or just a formation tax. In AoS, they can get stuck in and really bring the pain.

>>52279087
>Coming to AoS from 40k comes with a tonne of bad habits from 40k listbuilding
Well, fuck me - I have to learn all these bad habits because I'm thinking about running a small Tau or Crons army

>>52279079
Since AoS has the retarded "measure from the model" rule should I just run it baseless until GW releases a repackage with an oval base?

>>52279037
>Spiderfang Grots
If you're considering playing Spiderfang Grots, talk to your local group about letting you legally run the Spiderfang Venommob formation. It technically doesn't exist anymore because of the fact it was for Goblin Spider Riders rather than Grot Spider Riders, but it does allow you to at least have a battalion. And a pretty nice one at that.

1 Big Boss, 3 Arachnarok Spiders, 3 units of Spider Riders. Gives everyone within 8'' of an Arachnarok immunity to battleshock and all the spiders get +1 to wound for 100 points.

>>52279159
A lot of people houserule base to base, so I don't know.

I'd base it, myself.

Hey guys, I'm gonna start a pure troll army soon.

I want my trolls to be a bit unique and look more 'traditional'. What are some easy things I could do to get that effect, I've never green stuffed or even converted before so this is all new to me.

I'll post some more images and try not to spam the thread.

>>52279159
>Since AoS has the retarded "measure from the model" rule
But most people are playing base-to-base so I would base it

Heroes in AoS are fairly sturdy. Even the frailest character has more wounds than chapter master and your big critters will usually hit the double digits. Now, I seriously recommend you combine the units of arrerboyz. Unlike in the dark millenium, here your soldiers aren't morons and can fire at multiple units on a model per model (actually, attack per attack dice) basis, so you don't really lose much by merging them (aside from flexibility but who cares when you're flinging your opponent to death).

>>52279159
Sure, enjoy getting your gut fisted for trying to enforce it, though, since not even GW in its official tournaments uses that rule (well it's an exaggeration, but most mortals use base to base)

>>52279247
Maybe throw on some hair, beards and mossy growths. Also tails. I'm not sure on colour yet, I'm not sure a human skin tone will work, maybe a dark green?

I'm thinking of going overkill wiry the bases too, having the trolls in rivers and in big forests with trees and plants. I play maybe once a month right now so it's honestly more of a passion project to display because I fucking love trolls and other European folklore creatures.

>>52279304
You need bridges. Lot of bridges as terrain. Also buy some tiny (2cm?) trees on aliexpress - I have bought something like 10 for a 1$ IIRC

>>52279260
Yup. That's the 2000 point Spiderfang army. Run three Shaman for redundancy or 2 Shaman and 1 Flinger. Give Arachnarok the Battle Brew, give the Big Boss whatever and Bellowing Tyrant. The real downside of the Spiderfangs for now is that what you just posted is your only list. The only thing that might change is what's on the back of the howdah, and even then you're usually better off just doing triple Shaman since the Flinger is pretty terrible.

At a 1000 point, you drop the Battalion, and run one Shaman and 3x10 riders.

If I was going to go hard on the worshippers of the Spider-God, I'd maybe consider talking to the community I play with and -- just like you have to manually get permission to use the Venom Mob -- see if they would allow you to make a Totally-Not-Ghoul-Patrol requiring a Big Boss and 2 units of Spider Riders.

Add in a few regular greenskinz (mainly the warboss) and you'll smash your enemies.

You can also fire into melee and with units that are in melee

>>52279538

Okay, I'm gonna need a fucking tonne of Arrowboyz. Shame they're not a battleline.

>>52279523
Just pick a cheap metal or rubber tipped set up at a crafts store or something, it's not really that essential to get high quality sculpting tools like it is with brushes.

Games Workshop sells some if you just want to get that, but you'll pay extra.

>>52279574
Now he gets it

>>52279376
Ok, not entirely true. There is a second 2000 point list you can run. Shaman x2, Big Boss x2, and then 60 Spider Riders which you can either run in 3 groups of 20 or 6 groups of 10. No Battalion on that one, though.

>>52279579
Thanks for all the help anon.

>>52279574
Remember to space properly your guys. AoS works on true line of sight and you won't fire into meelee if your guys block sight, so try to spread them 1'' between each other.

>>52279574
Savage Orruk Arrerboyz are the best ones, just FYI. They're also in at two wounds a piece.

>>52279523
In fact, you can even sculpt easily basic stuff with almost any precise metal tool. When I started, I used pliers and stuff lying around, and managed to do nice chaos stuff (and blood pact mask), so you may try that before buying tools

Slaanesh Battletome when?

I really want to play, but just running marked Slaves of Darkness is kinda boring. I want new cool models like Tzeentch and Khorne.

>>52279902
I have bought a bag of 10 d10 as a wound counters for 2$ on china site

>>52279872
Probably last. We've had Tzeentch, we're getting Khorne. Nurgle will likely be next (judging by the Death Guard paint coming out and rumours of Mortarion), followed finally by Slaanesh and Fulgrim.

Are there any necessary accessories for playing AoS I should buy or is a measuring tool and a handful of dice enough to hunt the uncorrupted?

>>52279976

Nothing in the whole Tzeentch line they could be?

Magisters? Gaunt Summoners?

Which sub factions will come for humans? What do you think?

Either drop halbards to 1 damage or make it 4 attacks

>>52280167
Drop shit black Ork big Boss.
Buy another mega boss or a wierd nob shaman. Your brutes will need mystic shield, and you need a way to drop skaven big nasties down a wound tier before they hit you.

>>52280115
The ones there already are.
>Freeguild's replacement
Generic human dudes that are based around combined arms and unit synergy
>Devoted of Sigmar
Priests instead of wizards, units that either laugh at battleshock or laugh at it because they're flagellants. Basically Kairic Acolytes except for Sigmar, supported by various other priests and
>Collegiate Arcane's replacement
Mixed race giga-wizards and giga-wizard accessories.
>Ironweld Arsenal
Siege machines and siege machine accessories.

The last two will just be half-factions that exist to plug into the others, rather than fully supported factions like the whatever Freeguild turns into and the Devoted of Sigmar. Those two will be more legitimate armies, both focused around internal synergy. General orders and maybe something akin to 40k Guard commands as a gimmick, while Devoted end up as prayer machines though the limitation to only applying to Devoted units will stick. The only thing really new about the sub-factions will be the layer of paint that gets slapped on top, ie what sort of retarded design they can do after seeing Fyreslayers and Overlords.

>>52280167
ALSO... drop a unit of brutes for Gore Gruntas
> ib4 BUT INTERNETZ SAYZ THEY SUKKK
Well yeah they suck. As heavy cavalry. But you something you can slingshot around a flank (moving 2D6 plus 9") turn one to threat his warmachines. If he shoots them instead, congrats he isn't shooting the brutes. If they make it, they will munch a war machine in short order

>>52280773
They really arent good in comparison to brutes. Theyre only decent when they actually geht to do a charge when there is no enemy within 8"

>>52280316
The lantic empire. They were a technologically advanced human civilization that spanned several realms and were the single strongest human faction outside of azyr.
They'll probably either look like fantasy scions or generic high fantasy humans, unless they give them a completely cool concept like hey did with the overlords.

>>52280891
Lantic Remnents when? Or is that pretty much free guild and Arcanum Collegiete?

>>52280929
No, they were seperate from them.

There's mention of the 12th Lantic Empire, so it had been destroyed and rebuilt a lot. They're not from Azyr.

Huh. Can get 210 bucks worth of spider riders for only $129 on ebay. Fuck if that isn't tempting.


>>52280929
Wouldn't be surprised if you see something like >>52280672 and the Lantic Empire end up as the Freeguild + Ironweld faction, with another being the Freeguild + Collegiate Arcane faction and a third Devoted of Sigmar faction.

Honestly bud I'm no expert, I have had a lot of practice on orcs before but I'm just following the wargammer guide on YouTube. I only use Rakarth flesh base, which I then cover in reikland flesh shade. After that I paint nearly all of it over with cadian flesh so it's literally just the recess that looks brown with the reikland flesh all covered by cadian, I usually add another wash just in the recess at this point up until this point the model looks garbage. Then just a final highlight of damnit I forget and I'm not at my desk, it's one of the special highlight paints that's almost yellow. Intact while I was painting these guys i kinda felt like they almost look like Simpsons characters with how yellow they look. I can only offer the same tips as WIP, water down paints, Less is more on your brush. I think it's the reikland flesh shade wash that makes a big difference though, I rely on it a lot. Also think my photo makes them look better than they are, I'm really no expert.
>>52281143

Fuck me anon's, I still can't find a suitable Female Necromancer for my army theme. I'm trying to run a Undead Lustrian themed army, with Skeletons riding dinos, Ghoul-Skinks, and such. But as of yet, it seems impossible to find a decent female necromancer sculpt that isn't too amazonian and isn't too Old world grim dark. The closest I have gotten is pic related.

>Getting angry over Flying space dorfs that come from giant flying sky cities
>In a setting that includes:
-Giant golden Space marines that literally deep strike from AZYR, ride lightning and have weaponry made from the molten core of the old world and live in a space station.
-Naked midgets that shove shiny bits of gold up their ass, and than charge the enemy with nothing but their beards, their loincloths and a bunch of axes
-Angry tree people, including the THICC queen, spooky boobs mcgee, Exo-Suit Drycha, and the SWORD V. SCYTHE Hunters, who can teleport around the map like a bunch of shit licking assholes.
-People who watched Tzneetch's ten weird tricks to get ripped in 9 days videos, and their gaggle of gibbering blobs and body building birdmen buddies
-Assholes who think using bones and teeth as weapons are equal to weapons that hold the very POWER OF THE STARS. Are also responsible for getting their asses kicked so hard, Khorne had to go cry in the corner for the next 5 releases or so.
-Crazy ghouls cosplaying as Brettonians, who waltz around eating people, completely oblivious to the fact that they ate their horse long ago, and only have a ghoul slapping two halves of a coconut together to simulate the effect.
-A bunch of crazy ass Greenskinz who think that pig-shit is the best metal in the world, and are considered war-autists even by other green skinz.
-Another bunch of crazy ass Greenskinz who are so fucked up in the head, that they think their paint is armor, so it is, and can blot out the sun with so many fucking arrows. Not to mention blowing up Slanns with BAD JUJU.
-Star spawning Demons that look like DINOSWAURS that are actually good guys, except maybe not, and hang around in their ACTUAL SPACE SHIPS, thinking about how they can ruin Chao's day, and spill Khorne's bowl of Blood Flakes.

The point probably was that full high-tech faction kills feels of High Mythic Fantasy and turning setting into more mainstream version of Myths (like superhero comics Thor/NewGods-like, or Warcraft etc and etc).

Yes, but you know, gods and demigods citadel build around planetiod still fits the mythic setting (yeah implying I don't recognize Marvel Asgard) more than short brits from Victorian Age

>>52283504
You just compared both the Duardin and Sigmaron to Thor/Asgard. Is it acceptable for one but not the other?

Is it mythic when Sigmar does it and not when the Dorfs do?

>>52283547
>Is it mythic when Sigmar does it and not when the Dorfs do?
Sort of, because in sigmarines we can see clear high-tech only in their ranged weapon (actually only in 2 kind of this weapon, boltstorm pistols and lightinggun)

>>52283606
So you have a problem with Azyrheim, the ranged weapons and the dorfs because they look techy?

>>52283656
>So you have a problem with Azyrheim, the ranged weapons and the dorfs because they look techy?
Nope, because they looks high-tech (by fantasy genre standarts), and problems only with new dwarfs because the whole faction using high-tech only.

It's generally that it feels too big, but not quite. Like, I really enjoy the massive scope of AoS. 40k also has a very, very large setting, and it works (in my opinion) because it allows fans to create their own little pockets; homebrew chapter homeworlds, Eldar craftworlds, Necron dynasties, etc.

AoS has that too, which I also really appreciate. The problem I have with it, though, is that there really aren't much in the way of notable singular locations for fans to rally around like Cadia, Macragge, Baal, Biel-Tan, Comorragh, etc. The only real notable location in AoS is Azyrheim.

It's possible it'll be something that will change over time as the setting develops, like the development of the Order cities, but until it does, the vastness of AoS will feel kinda empty to me.

It's naturally magic. The best kind of magic. When Dorfs use unnatural magic, their bodies start becoming stone as shown by the Chaos Dorfs. It's like they subconsciously know how unnatural non-rune magic & make themselves more natural to counter.

the setting's emptiness, especially when everything is centralised around a few god-like figures

the general lack of low magic parts in the setting to make contrast and relevance to the magic parts

>>52283837
The fact that they haven't gotten around to the grand alliance armies yet without battletomes. I wish they would just lightning round split a bunch of books out for the other armies just do we know their place in the mortal realms and get an idea where to expand from them.

Easily doable. An airbrush would speed things up massively, if not then using a coloured primer or just coloured spray cans will do.

Reminder that AoS is moving away from rank and file aesthetics to a more heroic one. One to separate its miniture lines from the tolkien-esque style that many companies are able to produce, to protect its IPs. Second to bring them in line with the modern popularity of superheroes, video games like leage of legends, dota, world of warcraft etc. If a grand comicbook style of fantasy is not to your taste you are going to keep getting more and more butthurt as AoS progresses.

>Tolkien esque style that many companies are able to produce

could you be more wrong? That's the style that isn't produced, and the heroic shit you are peddling is in every wargame, card game and board game out there. Also it's more heroic to have characters with few wounds fighting against hordes of 50, devastating magic and monsters on a battlefield. It's less heroic to lead small skirmishes when you have more wounds than every other model.

It's what they bare doing for a 2 years, that's why all new armies doesn't looks like something simmilar to old armies. Yet still some idiots really begging for returning of Tomb Kings/Brets etc or waiting updates for old armies instead of replacing by new with new artdesign

The Stormcast don't have anyone to protect. Their fluff keeps banging on about how they're going through all this shit to drive Chaos out and free the realms, but there's bugger all mention of any of the people supposedly being liberated by all of this.

It's like if 40k had Space Marines and the Emperor, but the Imperial Guard was nowhere to be seen and the Imperium is only mentioned vaguely in the background sometimes. Everything just lacks context and grounding, I think.

With just a headswap (giant's head) you can get a decent approximation of a traditional troll from the River Troll-model, albeit with a small nose.

A tentacle from the spawn box (a great box for any converter!) could make for a good tail. The hairy end-part could be achieved through some greenstuffing. Get a clump of the stuff on there and then carve lines with a sharp knife. Wait untill the greenstuff have dried a bit and then carve finer lines untill it appears sufficiently fury/hairy. This makes for a quick and easy way to make fur, and should work for the purpose.

>>52287313
Warbeasts outright focuses one such group. Gates of Azyr too shows'em. Mortarch of night first and third quarter of the story covers them too a bit.

The Blasestorm series also focuses on mortals interacting with Stormcast.

Also it furthered Thostos Bladestorm's character development from the previous novel and ended with him rediscovering the humanity that he thought he had lost with his reforging. Things were looking well for Thostos but then they killed him off permanently in the Allgate book which makes me go "WHY WHAT WAS THE POINT IN ALL OF THIS. THOSTOS WHY WHY?!"

Because even the mightiest fall, and his sacrifice was not fully in vain. His memory and his legacy shall go on, both as prince Caeran of Wolf Keep and as Thostos Bladestorm. He cared not to live, he just wanted to avenge his beloved ones, and we will not falter in his oath.

Step aside human's sidekick

Excuse me but if AoS is measured from the model then can I have any base size I need?

>>52288107
use the base that is supplied in the box and you are fine. yes if you want to be a dick you could model it with a crazy ass base and blame the core rules.

>>52286113
If usually be against this, but honestly, go with anything except khorne and sigmarines. Nurgle is fun to paint. Beastclaw just has minimal models.

>>52288122
Sorry for the confusion. Im rebasing my older and 3rd party stuff so and I remembered this rule and wanted to know beforehand if the rebasing from 30mm would be necessary

>>52288157
If you like the look of squares, keep using those. Anyone who's a dick about base size in AoS needs to get their head out of their ass IMO.

The caster gun in Outlaw Star is a gun that fires magical rounds - therefore, magical technology, or technological magic. Why does it matter anyway? It's a fantasy setting with magic, some technology, some magical technology, and some technological magic. It works.

I know this is kind of a difficult topic since everyone is getting triggered so easily, but it's better asked here than in the /whfbg/:
How to incorporate Sigmarines into the old world?
I want to do a map campaign with hinterlands and my group consists of all kinds of old whfb players and one SCE. I'd be thankful for any kind of input, but setting it in the mortal realms is not an option.

The obvious idea would be some kind of angels of sigmar, but that seems a little bland. On the other hand I don't want it to be too deep, so that it might get restricting.

>>52288556
But not the same bad English and same typing style.

If they dont announce something good at adepticon I will throw an autistic tantrum

>>52289394
Angels of Sigmar is the only way I can really think of doing that, unfortunately. Something like devout Empire soldiers fatally wounded fighting Chaos start disappearing when nobody is looking and then coming back as Sigmar's own reverse Chaos Warriors come to kick the Gods in the dick.

Not terribly imaginative but it'd take a hell of a lot of work and changes to fit them in any other way.

>>52289394
It's a bit tricky since in fantasy the vibe had been for a while that the only gods left alive where the Chaos gods. Sigmar, Ulric, Taal and all the other were never confirmed to actually exist as gods until end-times.

That said, you could fluff them as Warriors of Order, the good equivelant of a Chaos Warrior?

>>52289394
They got lost in the Realm of Chaos, fought their way out and found themselves in the World-That-Was?

What are the best Age of Sigmar books? I want to read stories set in the universe and get a feel for the lore, but I don't want to waste my time with the shit that makes up at least half of Black Library.

Man, I can't believe some of you fucking faggots stuck around after GW told you in such a lurid, overt, smack in the face way to fuck off. Assuming of course you're one of the shitty little spergos that ruined fantasy and given your lack of social que awareness that's pretty likely.

I started the game during end times. I bought and painted an entire army. Imagine how I fucking felt when they just took the game I just was beginning to love out back and put it down.

That's actually the Simarabulum or however it's spelled. It's the artificial ring created around Mallus. It's where the Stormcast and there weapons are forged. The palace is Sigmar's palace and the blue sun above it is Sigendil.

>>52290270
Man, the self-projection is strong in this one. But yeah, I did namecalling, which is quite the standard fare in this boards.

>>52290656
Is that code for an army of with a basic 15-man unit doing 15 mortal wounds per combat on average? I love the models, I love a full cavalry army, and I love the Spider Venom gimmick, but fuck if I wouldn't kill for a battalion or two, even including the one illegal one that the Spiderfang Grots have. Something like Ghoul Patrol, a Big Boss and three units of Spider Riders for 100 points to give you some diversity once the points start climbing up. Otherwise, it's vaguely depressing that at 2000 points the only real decision you have is "Do I run 3 units of 15 and the Venom Mob, or cut the battalion and run 6 units of 10 or 4 of 15 or 3 of 20?"

>>52290462

Do we report him?

>hurr AoS is too happy and noblebright, especially the Mary Sue sigmarines

How to spot a meming faggot who hasn't even read the fluff. AoS ranges from Noble Dark to Grimdark, and Sigmar and some of the stormhosts are just as brutal as the imperium when it comes to rooting out chaos cults and restoring order. Once sigmar locked the gates of azyr, he lead a massive purge of everyone he even suspected of chaos taint, and laser eyed all the high lords who didn't agree with him when he was restoring azyrheim. He also ordered the genocide of all the greenskins iand several races of monsters in azyr as practice for his stormcast eternal.

On the stormcasts themselves, yes they fight for a noble cause. But the noblebright ends there. They weren't just raised up into superhuman super awesome Mary Sues. They were forcibly drafted into sigmars war, doomed to an eternity of battle, death and painful rebirth, in which a little more of their humanity is stripped away each time and they start becoming more of a stereotype and less of a Man. Eventually it's implied that after getting recorded too many times, they lose all of their humanity and they become creatures fully of celestial energy with only a burning desire to smite sigmars foes left to motivate them. Almost none of them know this, and most of them didn't ask for it. The scary part is that Sigmar has full knowledge of this, and doesn't seem to care. Nagash is right, Sigmar didn't save their lives, he stole them.

>>52290708
You're embarrassing man, what did the >>52290270 guy project to you? Also if you're the guy who posted the stormcast list either wait till someone checks it or just go to the archive and check some

I'm not the guy who posted the list, but it irked me fiercely that he went and said that. Dunno why, it was like a bull seing a red-flag, I just felt an urge of being a giant dildo.

Embarrasing? Well, I guess that the guy who went on to be an outright faggot was a great man apparently.

>>52290605
You're absolutely retarded if you think you can't play fantasy anymore. Now you can pick whatever edition you want and don't have to worry about shitty updates ever again. There are also AoS rules for every army and model in fantasy, and they state right in the book to set your legacy battles in the old world. The only legitimate complaint is that some models were discontinued, but if you already have an army thenbwhybthe man babby rage?
