Her rules are much better than in FB but that brittle ugly resin model doesn't do it for me.

Also still confused about her status. She has the mortal keyword but her fluff clearly shows her as a Daemon Princess, living in the Realm of Chaos and all??

I think the rock, chaos warriors shield and base all blend together, maybe consider doing the shield a different colour, also the bone could probably do with one more highlight on the uppermost raised areas just to make it pop more.

Typical quickblood vermin. Just has to be a barbarian that's calling you what you are. Is it a height thing? Men being so close to your own height compared to a tree that they just rub you wrong?

Regardless, I wouldn't take a step in your abomination of a structure if my heartwood depended on it. Why would I want to be in a neckbeard halflings house, striding among pissjugs and cumrags instead of among the glades of Ghyran?

>>52294070
I don't miss the models, I don't even own more than one. I miss the unit entry from sigmar 1.0. I really really like treekin on the tabletop and in theory. I still use a bunch (but I proxy Kings of War Forest Shamblers for them.) I just want a solid battleline unit that isn't dryads because of how flimsy the models are and how many there are of them or Tree Revenants who are just too weak, points pricy and underwhelming a unit as an armies core.

Any new units for Khorne revealed?

fuck off, reddit rats

Are the old resin ogre models any good? I hear the older resins break easily.

>>52294466
No new Khorne units with the book, it's just an update for the book to bring it in line with newer ones.

>>52294273
nice paint scheme on your Branchwych, Anon. never thought of going that direction until now.

>>52294495
shame, hoping for flyers or something.

>>52294477
The old models were designed for metal so it's possible there might be problems. I have no finecast ogres though, so I can't confirm that.

So fluffwise what's an average day in the life of a Sylvaneth like?

Outside of Herdstone and Dryad anon's, what's everyone working on?

I just finished up this thing. I don't have much experience with larger models, so it was new for me.

>>52294808
Still can't get used to seeing 8th ed. models on round bases, would much prefer if AoS was just new models.

>>52294831
That kit even came with a round base.

The square base for the Doomwheel is hilariously small though.

>>52294831
Coming from someone who mostly plays 40k, it looks weird as hell to see something that seems like it should be a vehicle on a base to begin with.

>>52294721
That's actually something that I didn't like about the Sylvaneth battletome. Really, it's true of most of the battletomes, but I particularly noticed it with the Sylvaneth: the only lore is really their history and how they kill stuff. No real indication on what their culture is beyond protecting nature. Even the most recent Stormcast battletome was more interesting to read than Sylvaneth.

When are Ironjawz gonna get an updated book to bring it in line post-GHB?

>>52294966
After BCR and Bonesplittas but before anything Death.

>>52294808

I'm working on my dudes. Being as indecisive as I am with colour schemes I decided to be salomonic and paint my force in 5 different colour schemes. This colour schemes represent the shattered remnants of five orruk Fists that battled each other in the infamous WAAAGH! of da five mobs.

-Colours used: saimhain red and kantor blue (just to imitate a famous football club). Gotzmot 'Ead Rippas (10 ardboyz and a megaboss, more elaborated)
-Caliban green (10 ardboyz and a warchanter) Orklides Bashas.
-The blue used for the pauldrons of the posterboy ironjawz (10 ardboyz). Grostik's Ironlads
-Traditional metallic black (5 brutes and a warchanter). Urlak's Megafiends.
-Orange (a cool shade of it) Killagore's Faceslashas' (9 goregruntas, a warchanter, and a mawcrusha, boss of this ragtag of battered remnants).

For four days and four night the warbands fought against each other. At the dawn of the five nights the forces of Killagore claimed victory over the survivors.

>>52294943
I know what you mean, It makes it hard to try and think up fluff for them apart from "They're from X place and that's about it"

>>52294603

Cheers! I always liked the fire-y look of the Darksouls 3 demons and thought it might work okay on a dryad.

>>52294721
The majority population group of the sylvaneth are the Forest Folk: Dryads and Branchwraiths.

Dryads are lead by the wraiths, who act as druidic spiritual leaders and chieftains. They are not a military caste. In the age of myth it was extremely rare for them to be called to war. The forest folk who were not capable of war were driven extinct more or less by the forces of nurgle, however. For many, life is very nomadic. Constant bouts of fleeing and hiding from the forces of chaos. They're VERY mercurial. Sing a lot. The more elitist of the clans look down on dryads quite harshly. They're considered by them to have ADHD, being petty. Most sylvaneth think this opinion is unfair.

Wraiths are explicitly matriarchal and maternal figures. They carry an element of the Noble Spirits within their soulpod. They're the primary "nodes" of the sylvaneth's song. a sort of mass communication method of the race.

Tree Revenants are sombre. They make up the primary Warrior Caste of the sylvaneth and are peace keepers, law enforcement, etc. They're generally lead in groups with a Treeman and a Branchwych.

Branchwyches are powerful druidic figures whose sorcery and combat skill is highly respected. THey have a special relationship with the sprites. In the eyes of the wyches, the little creatures can do no wrong and the Sprites are very fond of the wyches, coming to their aid en mass.

Treelords make up the nobility of the clans. Treelords are the most well known of the Noble Spirits and serve purposes like Royal Guards, Librarians, lords and military captains. All sylvaneth love them as fathers/mothers and would only disobey one in extreme cases. Huge swarms of Sprites make their home among the branches of the Treelords, nestled in their bark hides. They're inherently compassionate. They have an extremely deep connection to the spirit song. They communicate with one another in songs made up of streams of colour and sensation, made into language.

>>52294721
Treelord ancients are the Kings and Queens of the Sylvaneth. They're the most powerful mages, the masters of life magic, they have an inner serenity that persists no matter what it is they're doing, including while on the battlefield that they sing to other sylvaneth. They're extremely meticulous, every detail of their extremely long lives is committed to memory. They know the name of every sylvaneth they rule over and spend their lives amassing knowlege into their lamentiri to ensure that future generations can benefit from their experience.

Treelords are seen as youthful and impulsive by ancients. Though the youngest treelord is older than any mortal by several times. Treelords act as the hired muscle of the Ancients and are far more violent and dynamic as individuals.

Both of these noblespirits are extremely prone to deeply exemplifying the eccentricities of their glade. EG harvestboon treelords and ancients are very slight and lithe, but extremely passionate quick to rage and mirth. Ironbarktreelords tend to have veins of ore in their wood that makes them glitter while being unreasonably stubborn. Dreadwood treelords are viscious and untrustworthy even in the eyes of other sylvaneth.

>>52295025
There's actually two different skin colours. One a brighter green for my brutes and non orange warchanters. The other with a darker colour. This is to represent that killagores' guys didn't belong to the area, and were an out of context problem.

>>52295428
That's pretty awesome, dude but my guys were blue, purple, green, and black

>>52294721

The Free Spirits are much more directly administrated by Alarielle.

Sons of Durthu were sired from Durthu, live every day trying to meet his stalwart example, they act as personal agents and guardians of Alarielle. When they speak they carry Alarielles authority with them. Extremely determined and loyal. They have an innate understanding with each other son of durthu and it smacks of a shared consciousness. They're not slavishly loyal however, they're in fact trusted and valued advisors to Alarielle and the clans.

>>52294721
Another kind of "Free Spirit" Kurnoth Hunters are the "Hunter cult" of the sylvaneth. While they're their own caste of treecreature (vast, hulking warriors much taller than a man) they worship Kurnoth as Alarielles "Soul-Consort" and equal seeing themselves as embodiment of his wrath as the Sons are to Alarielle. They're the newest caste, they didn't arise until Alarielle picked up the spear of Kurnous well into the Age of Sigmar. Even the Spite Revenants are older than the eldest hunter. Hunters are purposeful, driven and almost single minded. They have none of the bipolar or capricious whimsy of other sylvaneth. They act as executioners for Alarielle. They're considered very strange creatures by other sylvaneth who have a hard time understanding their single minded and taciturn natures. Like treelords and branchwraiths the spiritsong is especially powerful in them and they reverberate with it. Most sylvaneth worship minor deities in addition to Alarielle, but Kurnoth Hunters are the only ones to do this openly in Kurnoth. This leaves other sylvaneth mistrustful of them. Alarielle says this is fine and that's enough for most sylvaneth. The heartwood clan does everything they can to accomodate the Hunters. The Hunt Master of Kurnoth is a recent addition to the Royal Moot. It's baffaling for non sylvaneth to try and understand his purpose. Some sort of hybrid position of Spy Master, Martial Advisor, High Priest of Kurnoth and Captain of the Royal Guard.

Often times a completely random hunter will take his place with only Alarielle knowing if it's really the Huntmaster. It's unclear if the huntmaster is a spirit that temporarily possesses a hunter, or Kurnoth himself making individual hunters his avatar temporarily. The regents of the SYlvaneth are very distrustful of the Hunt Master, especially dreadwood who consider him a clingy upstart.

>>52294721
>>52294721
The Outcasts are unsettling. Deeply so for mortals, but almost as much for the Sylvaneth. The Sylvaneth don't know where they come from, don't know how they're made, don't even know if they're not a reflection of the sylvaneth made dark by Alarielles vengeful desires.

Many believe them to be sylvaneth who caved into despair during the war in ghyran against nurgle.

The first outcasts cropped up during the "Shrouded Season." a period of time alarielle has purposefully deleted from the sylvaneths memory on a racial level. No one knows why but her. It makes them uncomfortable to think about across the board.

Outcasts are insane, literally. They're deaf to all but the darkest and most malevolent parts of the sylvaneth's song. They dwell in gloomy and unsettling glades. Some sylvaneth fear the outcasts madness is infectious. Where dryads and other sylvaneth sing, Spite Revenants "Scream a sawing, nerve-shredding cacophony of horror and hate fit to drive mortal minds beyond the brink of sanity."

Murderous butchers, they commonly soak themselves and their roots in blood.

Drycha is basically the only sylvaneth that hangs out with outcasts purposefully. She considers herself to be their regent, like the Willowqueen is the regent of harvestboon or the Old King is of Gnarlroot. Drycha and the Outcasts are far more than just racist. THey want to purge all non sylvaneth. THe malevolent and cruel sprites love them. She and the spite revenants are warrior caste.

>>52294721
There are more sylvaneth than just the treespirits, sprites (spites in AOS) are sylvaneth, the spirits that possess deadwood to forge bodies out of it (treekin) are sylvaneth, the ghosts and fae creatures of the glades are sylvaneth. The disparity in sentience can be pretty huge between different castes. These days most castes are warrior castes.

Most Sylvaneth do not like mortals.

All Sylvaneth are unfathomably long lived.

Sylvaneth build cities, work metal and stone and create artworks, tapestries and furniture.

The song of Sylvaneth helps bind them together as a united people. It stops them struggling against one another not based on oppression but genuine feelings of unity.

Sylvaneth in general don't care for glory, expanding borders or making money. They're more or less solely concerned with ensuring the safety and cycles of the natural world are upheld.

They're difficult to interact with, not just becase of the language barrier. They do not like you, they don't think like you and they don't live and die like you. Your concerns are extremely alien to them just like they are to you.

They consider "Quickbloods" (mortals/demons/non sylvaneth in general) to be short sighted, flippant, brief and unable to comprehend the importance of their extremely long term plans and the real meaning of everything.

They ARE good people. With noble desires and despise chaos. it's just that they're so alien to us that the alliance is always quite strained.

There are tribes of humans that worship sigmar and alarielle living in ghyran that are tolerated by the Sylvaneth. There are also elves and dwarves.

Wanderers are HATED by the Sylvaneth. They're essentially living out a mission of repentance to Alarielle, planting waystones so that the forests of Ghyran can sprout in other mortal realms.

Not all sylvaneth sprouted in GHyran, they hail from almost every one of the mortal realms, even the realm of metal.

Thank you for posting all that, it's just what I was looking for.

>>52295872
Yeah it's my first time using the green ones and I went overboard with them, especially the varghulfs base looks weird. The biggest problem is probably mixing the brown and green ones. I'll add in some flock later, which might fix it.

>>52295887
The zombies are also justone color+wash. The skin turned out really weird as it is mantic necrotic flesh+reikland fleshshade. It's good enough for zhe zombies, but still. A green wash is a good idea, will buy one the next time I have the chance.

>>52295889
It'll most likely have the same base rules. The changes will probably be new battalions and more customization options, like in the Stormcast battletome.

The fluff sperg in me is pissed that every fucking chaos player in my local meta is taking Warplock Jezzails in their lists, and that's their only Skaven model.

>>52297519
Joining the Pantheon was a mistake.

Pestilens can be Chaos because it fits mostly (Fighting an unholy crusade against everything in the name of your god is typical Chaos fare, and allows Nurgle synergy )

Skryre should have been Destruction (They blew up the moon and live to create war machines, their magic is the lore of Ruin)

Verminus, Masterclan Moulder Eshin and Dark elves should be a separate Mercenary faction that any Chaos or Destruction army can pull units from

Ever consider that they're skaven noses?

Picked up a box of Kairic Acolytes. How do I equip these dudes and how do the shields work?

>>52297889
>Arcanite Shield: Roll a dice before allocating a wound or mortal wound to a model that has an Arcanite Shield. On a roll of 6, the shield deflects the damage and the wound is ignored.

Would it be a bad idea to grab a gyrocopter or bomber to run with my Grail knights and pepper some guys up before my knights charge?

>>52297928
So if a unit takes 10 wounds would I need 10 shield units to assign one to each or could I assign them all to a single dude and removing models for each dice that did not come up a 6?

>>52297979
>before allocating a wound or mortal wound to a model that has an Arcanite Shield

1 wound per model.

>>52298006
Would it be possible to put patches of flock onto him like moss

>>52297672
Your mistake is thinking that just because they're all chaos it means they all have to work together. It's quite the opposite, the factions that make up chaos fight each other as often if not more than they fight anyone else. It doesn't matter if they're technically on the same side, they all have their own goals and actively screw each other over to further them. In the last book, pestilense skaven betrayed the nurgle forces at a key point of the battle and lost control of an entire realmgate because of it.

>>52298070
I could, I always get nervous about doing stuff like that though, if I screw up with applying the flock it's really annoying to fix.

>>52298098
Crunch should at least attempt to mirror that.

A band of Nurgle daemons having a handful of Skryre rats hanging out with them makes no sense.

Same with a Khorne warband hiring on wizards to fight by their side.

>>52298098
That would all still exist if they split the factions up into different allegiances, it would further emphasis it even, revive the Skryre/Pestilens civil war if both can pretend they are fighting for the goals of their alliance just as an excuse to kill each other some more.

I'm talking primarily about rule design and how GW has wasted Skaven thus far, they have no reason to exist in AoS and certainly aren't supposed with any releases.

They basically returned their OG "beastmen but not" status and it's fucking boring as shit.

Try to come up with an original faction for each grand alliance that isn't just a repack (beast claw, Flesheaters) or an inevitable sub faction ( rot bringers, clan skryre)

>>52298199
I think it's more GW focusing more, for the moment, on developing trade markable new IPHONE for their new setting. Skaven were always pretty safe- that was one of their few somewhat original ideas (see how all their shit kept their name...). Once all the elf/dwarf/ork/token human stand in/daemon races have been twisted enough to slap a definitive IP, they will hit the other stuff

a new Death faction, based around either the Soulblight Gothic Kingdoms, or the Death Rattle empires.

lore wise, The Soulblight Kingdoms would go into focus on the topic of VAMPIRES, and how they fit into the mortal realms, along with going into detail about how they rule their kingdoms, and how they function. It would also go into the back ground of how the "Soul-Blight" of the vampires work, and help fill up their lore. It would also introduce new Bloodlines, and give us at least ONE new character, preferably some countress that's rallying against the Chaos invasion of Shyish.

Mechanic wise, it would feature the current Soulblight units, along with adding Nefereta as Soulblight unit. It would also include new units such as on-foot newbloods, a revamped melee focused Vampire hero that's as good as the WHFB Vampires in combat, a basic troop choice formed of Vampire thralls who can be drained mid-combat for health, a new Vampire colossal unit that's either a giant mount, or some kind of colossal beast. Think a Terrorgheist, but alive, and angry. Also, give Blood Knight's a new plastic kit.

Yeah we get lovingly carressed with barbed wire. You know how pets don't like it when you pet them too hard? Its like that. I want proper attention bitch, not a downs-syndrome throttling.

I only know the surface level of lore. What would happen if my dudes (Ironjawz) crafted their armor out of warpstone?

>>52301324
I don't think that's happened before.

I'd guess it would mutate them and make them crazy and/or chaos worshippers.

>>52297519
>>52297672
>all these newfags
Skaven are literally the children of Chaos and Chaos replacement for Humans.
Which is the best thing about AoS is the realisation of the Skaven prophecy.

>>52301365
Well, I don't want them to be Chaos Orruks or mutate. I guess my fluff will be that they're constantly being corrupted by chaos, but because their orruky durability/powerful immune systems/more or less blank-slate mind, it doesn't take, it just pisses them off.

The question is, is warpstone strong enough for armor?

>>52301544
I think warpstone armour is heavy armour that atracks anyone who strikes it.

>>52301592
My friend suggests there wouldn't be enough warpstone to outfit an entire army of orruks. He plays Skaven, so is he right?

Well we live in extended universe now so there must be sources of it everywhere.
Its just condensed warp magic. There was an entire moon made of it in WFB. All Skaven machinary runs on big chunks of it.
So id say yes a full army of warpstone armour could exist.

>>52299491
What units are you talking about? I don't remember any SCE units having a natural 2+ much less a rerollable one.

>>52296485
AvP?

>>52302056
I just checked through a bunch of units, and I can't find anything like what they're talking about. Lowest save is 3+ on some of the heroes.

>>52302130
Just remembered a combo that can be done. One is Lord-Castellent + Hurricane Banner + Dracoth/Stardrake. Even that combo is 500 points minimum for 1 drop a game and their 2+ save lasts for 1 turn.

If he goes the Stardrake route, he could possibly take the Command Trait to get +1 Save bubble when not charging.

>>52302205
Correction, he could take the Command Trait regardless of if he took Dracoths or Stardrakes. Just remembered you can use regular units as your general in AoS.

>>52302075

What's horrifying in implications if their art-design (artwork, models) didn't even try to imply that? Not to mention their fluff mostly focused on "mighty battles of unending war".

>>52303815
They start off as humans and gradually become wrath-in-a-can.

>>52303945

And since all of them were warriors, they will enjoy their new abilities.

>>52303985

I think the celestial Vindicators who are basically barbarians in a can, dislike it alot.

>novel in which Felix is a stormcast, troubled with flashbacks and memories of his past life. He collects books but does not know why.

So Wanderers in AoS, Will they be getting an update?

Looking through the Order Battletome, the Wanderers seem to have a drastically different backstory than most other Elves and Sylveaneth show that "Kurnoth" the Hunter God existed at one time.

Would we see a revival of an Orion Expy?

>>52303985
The Realm of Death offers peace and rest. Nagash cannot keep the souls of the dead in his realm forever eventually they will ascend beyond his reach.

The Stormcast are destined for eternal war where they will die again and again losing bits of their humanity and their memories until they are nothing more but husks.

>>52304027
>and don't really like the idea of becoming a Magic robot.
The fluff her e says otherwise>>52295824
And again, no matter their origin they all were warriors who fought against Chaos, so they should be okay with becomming SCE (or writters for some reasons turning them into whinning hippy sometimes for "muh dramma")

>So Wanderers in AoS, Will they be getting an update?
Nope

>The Realm of Death offers peace and rest
Until they will be raized by Nagash or one of his lieutenants for "spooky zerg rush".
>The Stormcast are destined for eternal war where they will die again and again losing bits of their humanity and their memories until they are nothing more but husks.
So what? The fluff don't focusing on their suffereing to much (because it's pretty obvious that GW writters cannot handle with such narrative properly), so as their models or AoS artworks

I like that there's competence on all factions involved. They are all capable of getting shit done and failure usually happens because one is better or more fortunate rather than the other being a moron.
Also, I like chaos better than in the old world. OW chaos was a very united group. Seriously, how often they were mentioned to be at full-blown war with each other? Here in AoS we've got a god trap another one (tzeentch and slaanesh), Khorne betraying and trying to destroy every other god, nurgle trying to weather the storm as the horned rat has begun its betrayal on Nurgle. Archaon may or may not be planning to destroy the chaos gods and rule by himself. Slaanesh apparently let itself be captured and is using this as an opportunity.

Chaos is as it should be: fractious and anarchic, yet deadly and effective.

i get that it's mostly logic (a dwarf has an axe and shield, or a great axe, not both) although that was an explicit example, what about a kroxigor?

"a kroxigor is armed with either X or Y weapons, but also dangerous even unarmed thanks to it's teeth" with teeth being a listed weapon.

would it attack with it's weapon and teeth?

Oh i fucking know.

100% you won't be-able to hit the airships in combat, and you just know some Battalion will have a -1 debuff for shooting them, AND the biggest airship will blatantly have some shield versus mortal wounds.

Sky-dorfs are going to murder the game in terms of balance like we've never seen before.

>>52305100
Wight King with a banner is helpful, Black knights are poor due to the lack of rend, but the Deathratle battalion is a good thing to build towards

Any other Death Bros going to lose their shit if at the Adepticon Upcoming Product Seminar they show previews for models a year off and it's just more Stormcasts and Khorne?

>>52304854
>Maybe They find Kurnoth or bring him alive similar to how Orion needs a sacrifice?
Why would they even return to Orion's story, since he was sort of killed.

>>52305146
It will be more Stormcast 100% definitely, and very likely more Khorne. The two are the flagship armies of AoS, there's no doubt they'll get more always.

Just hope there's more than just that.

>>52305139
Nice facts there.

Also two of the new factions(Bloodbound and Ironjawz) are labelled as garbage

>>52305182
They are only the flagship because that's all GW is making and releasing. It's no different from how Fantasy was where people would argue certain factions were not selling so they shouldn't get new models rather than acknowledging the reason for them not selling was being completely ignored and neglected by GW

>>52305194

This the part where you tell me TKs would have sold just as well as High Elves if only they were supported?

>>52305212
I agree completely, but most of their advertising and image is of Stormcasts, right down to plastering down all over the plastic bags from their stores. Stormcast are the face of AoS and so they'll always get that bit of extra stuff, even if personally I find them to look utterly generic, dull, and uninteresting.

No point wasting time bitching about it anymore when it's been clear for a long time now that that's the situation.

>>52305234
Labelled by the imaginary people you pull out of your ass?

Nobody with half a brain thinks ironjawz are bad.

>>52304730
Tree and Spite revenants look like Elves because they're a mockery of the Elves.

The elves failed, the elves betrayed the forests, the elves proved that quickbloods were incapable of meeting the standards of the Sylvaneth.

So the Tree Revenants were born into Ghyran totake their place as guardians and wardens, protectors of the glades. A true warrior caste, but with none of the cowardice, betrayal and inferiority of the verminous elves.

A sort of inside joke that the wanderers, Sylvaneth and Alarielle understand but is lost on say, Stormcast or Dwarves.

>>52304906
I can't wait for elf fags to be BTFO eternally as the new fyreslayers. So many of my friends want to start with elves and I need to cull the stinking knife ears with my trees.

Literally the cowardniggers of elfdom. The high elves and the dark elves might be vermin, but at least they stood and fought.

Even the Skaven stood and fought.

Where were you when the wanderers pissed their big girl panties, fellow trees?

I think this sentiment is probably hugely present everywhere. I don't doubt that people will come out of the woodwork to pick up matched play AOS once fleshed out fluff and lines of models for elves hit shelves.

Love them or hate them, elves are hugely popular and will bring a lot of new blood and $$$ into the game.

Nah, this is just a manchild who has a power-fantasy on stormcasts and needs to make freeguild inferior because his OC is extremely incompetent and needs to make something worse and thus make said OC look good by comparison. ignore him.

>>52305699
>Good thing they're focusing on Stormies!

my theory on this is that they were deliberately trying to lure 40K space marine players into AOS with what are essentially the same army ported between games.

Small squads of heavy armor super human elite troops worshiping the god emperor. Even if they convinced 25% of space marine fans to pick up a starter kit of sigmarines they cash in on monster profits. Also the 40k space marine formula in terms of driving the setting lore is a proven winner in terms of generating $$$ and interest in the product lines.

I read that as Mengele miniatures and wondered what the fuck you were linking for a little while there, Anon.

>>52305946
while this is awesome and its super high quality and obviously a lot of love went into making it I have to ask the obvious question.

since its not official, can't be used in GW stores, and won't be part of tournaments what good really is this?

>>52306000
>what good really is this?
It depends on if the rules presented identical to the official warscrolls for Tomb Kings. If so, it's a handy compendium to keep them all together. If it's inventing its own rules for stuff, then it's really only useful among your friends who are okay with you using it.

Because there's already rules for Tomb Kings stuff.

>>52306304
We are both in the same shit boat of having been given Battle tomes designed WITHOUT the GHB in mind. So we aren't getting an update for a long long time.
So we are better than all but the most broken Conpendium factions (Tomb Kings) and tiny sub factions, and miles behind factions updated with GHB in mind (tree peoples, BCR, Bonesplittas, SCE, Khorne, Tzeetch, all future shit)

>>52306188
>the Warrior Brotherhood

Warrior Brotherhood formation is still useable right? the FAQ allowing the use of any version of any warscroll should have meant that nothing was removed from the toolkit of SC players.

>>52306415
Get it on Warhammer Community site as Official for use, and I will care.
But I don't give a shit about home brew shit.
Hell look at the spells. #4.
7 casting. For something THAT fucking powerful? Home brew is NEVER balanced- even compared to GW shit. The Bias is NEVER completely erased. Because if you were neutral about the faction, why the fuck would you do all the work?

>>52306478
Yes its still technically usable but given the way they changed the Azyros and Lightning Strike it is fair to assume that they will be removing it from matched play in GHB 2

They are not mockeries. The Everqueen created them to honour the Wood Elf forest protectors of the World that Was. The revenants don't know much about their inspiration but they strive to live up to them.

elves have never been anything but the weakest of weak armies in the entire life of the game AOS. I don't know what this WHFB thing you're on about has to do with AOS but I think it has its own sub-forum for discussions related to it.

>>52307257
Elves are the master race and our rules should reflect that fact, you contemptuous little slug

>>52304067
They should get an update. They weren't squatted like TK or bretonnia, and have been mentioned in fluff. Just gotta wait for it.

>>52307330
>They should get an update.
Yes, like dispossessed.

>>52307330

Dude almost half of their modelline was squatted.
At best they could be added to some new faction like Savage Orcs

>>52307304

No shit Sherlock, because they haven't been updated yet. I'm saying I don't want to see GW repeat history and make Aelves retardedly strong.
