Age of Sigmar General /aosg/

FUCK OFF FROM CHAOS, REDDIT RATS!

Copied over from WoS, Kharadron Overlord info:
>Ironclad has apprently so many rules that they had to reduce the font to fit all of it onto one page.
>Both it and the Frigate can carry models. If loaded to its maximum load capacitiy it can still take in models, but it'll reduce it's Move stat.
>Ballon troops never count against that maximum capacity since they just get towed along.
>Arkanaut Company is battleline.
>All battalions are entirely built around being completely airborne.
>Overlord Allegiance is selected by city instead of just a general Kharadron Overlord one.

Finally rebased my first batch of chaos marauders. Still 3 more to go and I hope that friday brings me lots of spare bits from slaves of darkness SC and Chaos Warshrine to kit these guys and gals out.

I didn't see that in the last couple threads so much as people posting about how they are excited about elf releases and then them being showered with hate.

This

>>52325224

Anything other factions get, Elf players always think it should be theirs.

Anything other factions can do, Elf players think Elves should do it better.

Elf players are usually power gamers and WAACfags. They're all waiting and hoping for OP bullshit, tepid Mountain Dew in hand, Cheeto dust all over their neckbeards.

>>52325298
Elffags arent WAACfags, WAACfags are WAACfags, you make it sound like you think only elves had tryhards, certainly certain armies have/had less tryhard faggots than others, but this has never been a solely elven problem.

Now as a lapsed dark elf player, MAYBE you could make an argument for an entire faction player base made up of edgelords, but even then there would be edgefaggots playing the then vampire counts, now death.

I really hope GW rolls all of the Skaven back into one big book again but keeping the option to make one clan only armies.

Can you imagine how unbelievably shit having a Verminus or Masterclan battletome would be?

>>52326756
THey need to do the same for high elves and dark elves, assuming they give them future support at all. Their sub factions largely have pathetic unit choice and very limited synergy, even within their own subfactions.

>>52326756
Masterclan shouldnt count against clan allegiance rather then be its own thing

Two questions about Stormfiends:

>Does their box come with three sets of each weapon so I can give them all the same weapons?

>What are the best weapons to give them?

>>52326756
Might it be a good idea to give Verminus units (aside from the Warbringer) the option to take the mark of a clan X?

>>52326953
Each box has 1 of each weapon, and each model is set up to be built with one of two weapons.

One is ratling gun / warp grinder
One is warpfire throwers / wind mortar
One is Doomflayers / shockfists

You're looking at buying 3 boxes to get one unit of 3 of the same weapon, or some converting.

>>52326953
>>52327025
Oh, and the general consensus for best weapon is the Warpfire throwers.

>>52326953
>Does their box come with three sets of each weapon so I can give them all the same weapons?
No, 1 set of each, and the bodies have specific weapons that can be equiped on them. 1 melee fiend, 1 drill/gatling fiend, 1 projector/launcher fiend.

>What are the best weapons to give them?
Projectors are very popular, but if you can you could magnetize them. It's not that difficult.

Hi Sigmar people, dropping in from 40k to ask a question.
How does the battleshock thing (that's the losses from morale right?) work with large model count units that also generally suffer lots of casualties. I've got Orks and am scared the new system might leave a lot of my boyz running for the hills unless we get a special rule or something.

>>52325252
So this is proof that Ironjawz will be receiving airships, right

>>52327368
Is 40k actually going to use those rules? I thought it was just the whole free/narrative/matched bollocks, not AoS crunch as well.

That's pretty dumb if true.

122KB, 598x717px

>>52327368
Say you fail your test by 2, two boys will run away.
The casualties from battleshock will rarely be the end all be all for a horde list, as you normally have the numbers to eat those losses.
It's more a risk for elite armies who can't deal with suddenly losing that many models from their units easily.

>>52327368

Honestly, individual units will probably have abilities to negate the effects.

I wouldn't worry about it right now, anon. Just play your gitz and have fun for now. Worry about it when it actually drops and we know for sure. Good luck.

>all these reddit rats

>>52327097
I kinda do it if its cheese

>>52327396
They released some "ideas" they have about what they're gonna do for 8th.
They're very similar to Sigmar's rules and given that the edition drops in June(?) they've probably already finalized it by now and are just testing the waters.

>>52325224
Once apon a time, Elves had an entire army with the Always Strikes First rule.
They still thought it wasn't enough.

>>52327432

>tfw you were one of the few the proud the brave who actually played skaven before reddit took over

>>52327368
How did you manage to play 40k if you can not read 4 pages of rules? Let's say you have a unit of 30 clanrats. 5 of them get killed so you roll a d6 and add a 5. You rolled a 3 so it's a 4 above clanrat's bravery. You still have more than 20 units so add 2 to bravery. Wew, you just lost only 2 models. Orks will probably have a lot of saves and "bravery" bonuses

>>52327525
>implying anyone with a modicum of pride would play skaven

>>52327184
Maybe the Ghorgon will be tall enough to punch it? Unless I'm forgetting a rule that flying units cannot be attacked in melee?

>>52327568
I seem to recal that you just need to be in range with your weapons/abilities in order to attack enemy units

>At least WYSIWYG isn't a thing in AoS.
Yes it is.

In fact it's even more important since weapon options are free.

>>52327368
It's strictly better than sweeping advance in 40k

Sweeping advance: you fail and lose everything
Battleshock: you fail and lose a few more models.

>>52327412
>>52327537
Thanks for explaining it!

>>52327672
Not the same Anon who you reloaded to, but have any of you guys encountered players that model multiple weapons onto their models and claim that they can hit with all weapons since their model is equipped with it.

>>52327704
That does sound a lot better now that you lay it out like that.

40kfag here

Nerds in 40kg are panicking that the new ruleset looks like AoS. I'm of the opinion that the 40k rules are pretty much totally shit, but I'm really unfamiliar with how AoS works, so I'm not sure where GW is going with it.

Can anyone give me a run down of what the rules in AoS facilitate? Like, are they designed to make games more fast-paced? Etc.

>>52328070
They're 4 pages long and pretty simplified.

I've only played one game so far but it was a total blast and not at all like I remember 40k from high school (i.e. total dogshite). Much faster paced. If you're autistic about crunch you're gonna hate it, but if you're just looking to have fun/make tactical decisions as opposed to obsessing over 120 pages of rules, you'll love it.

>>52328089
Oh awesome, that sounds good.

I'm sure 40k will be longer than 4 pages because of all the different model types and stuff but it won't be 100+ pages so that's great.

>>52327756
No. Most people can read well enough to see that the warscroll says they're equipped with option A or option B

>>52328070

Took you longer to write these two posts than It would have taken to read the rules you lazy spoon fed nigger.

>>52328116
Probably not by much since AoS rule style has all the rules for a unit on the unit's "card", even if they're reused rules, only exception is flight

>>52327756
no. the unit description lays out what are the possible weapon options/combinations that the unit can have.

>>52328070
It's desgined to be nwebie-friendly but still appealing for experienced players. I really like the fact that I don't have to fuck with terrible rulebook and codices for dozen of stupid rules. Also getting rid of all these useless 40k statistics makes AoS dynamic and easy but absorbing game. You can pick two start collecting boxes, spend 15 minutes on reading and understanding the rules and play your first game

>>52328259
What I think he did was to put shields on the back on his chaos marauders while he had flails equipped. Is that allowed?

>>52327276

I've only just started playing AoS so some of the nuances might be lost on me r.e. allegiances, but Verminus and Masterclan are unnecessary surely?

Have three battletomes. One for Skryre, Moulder and Eshin. Each will come with the basic shit currently included in in Verminus/Masterclan, plus all the additional things and new units that make that faction unique.

Give Pestilens to Nurgle for his 'Children of Nurgle' battletome, or whatever it'll be called. In addition to demons and humans, Tzeentch gets special beastmen and Slaanesh will probably get special elves. Give Nurgle his special Skaven.

Should I start with Clan Skryre or Beastmen?

>>52328373
>Clan Skryre
Why limit yourself to one clan? But I would go with rats - at least you can start with cheap as fuck Spire of Dawn box - over 40 models for 1/2 price of start collecting

>>52328373
Beastmen.

Ok, be honest. I really like the Brayheards, is there any hope that they get updated with new models, rules, etc. Or are they just waiting to get squated like probably a ton of the Old World model range? I like them, but not enough to start an army on death row.

I don't really feel anything for Verminus, I don't like the look of Pestilens and Moulder seems like it'd be hard to make an entire army out of.

>>52328438
They won't get squatted, Anon.

But I don't know if they'll get an update.

>>52328410
Because if you don't stick to a clan you're stuck talking 3 units of clanrats for a battleline tax.

Back in ye olde days of WHFB, I always wanted to start a Wood Elf army (even after they became complete shit), but I was always too poor and/or busy to do so. Now I see that WE are their own "Wanderers" faction in Sigmar and appear to (still) be quite neglected.

Am I making a massive mistake if I start a WE army now? Are they playable? I don't really care if they're good but I'd like to be able to win once in a while, sometimes, maybe. And most importantly are they getting squatted?

>>52328298
nope
it's either axe and shield or flail
flails are kinda shit compared to the advantage of a better armor

>>52328698
If you liked the treemen shtick, there's Sylvaneth.

But I'd wait until you see something new in the vein of Wood Elves before buying in, if you wanted pure wood elves.

>>52328070
>Nerds in 40kg are panicking that the new ruleset looks like AoS.

I'm super happy GW didn't cave in and followed through with the AOS-ization of 40K

>>52328070
The thing about AoS that outsides tend to not know is that there is still complexity in AoS, just not in the core four page rules. The complexity comes from synergy between units, from the special rules in their warscrolls, and alterations to the game via battleplans.

Battle plans are like scenarios in 40k campaign books, and do things like add additional hazards on the battlefield, empower/weaken certain units (like giving one of your heroes a new spell, or alternate deployments). Battle plans are the primary intended way to play AoS, and make the game much more fun.

I mention battleplans because I'm betting 40k is going to start using that format as well, in campaign book expansions much like AoS.

I can't believe we still haven't seen new Orruk shit.

>>52328766

Yeah, I was hoping for pure WE. Oh well. I'll just wait for now I guess, maybe buy some other army in the mean time (unfortunately it looks like Beastmen still suck, that's okay though. Maybe I'll go with them. It's either that or "Soulblight" VC or maybe Seraphon).

easiest thing to do is either use your hobby knife to cut them off at the soles of their feet. If you're not up to that, clip the sides of the bases off, glue the now flat old base to the new base and re-texture it to hide the slightly raised area.

Seems to me like the GH was so popular because it added points to the game (thereby making it more like 40k) than because of the 'different ways to play'.

Yeah I'll consider it. I do quite like them and even the old models are pretty cool.

>>52328698

If you want OP army then nope, if you want just build WE army with their own fluff and play it then yes, a lot of their models already OOP, so hurry up.

BIGGER THAN AN IMPERIAL KNIGHT

>>52329794
That put it in roughly the ballpark of the Baneblade.

>>52329769
Very simple. Decide on a leader. Doesn't matter who. For example:

[Megaboss/Weirdnob Shaman/Maw-Krusha Rider] Badblud Irongit, leader of the [Fist of Badblud/Deffsmashas/The Irongits] is so [inspiring/ruthless/intimidating] that disparate clans of [Beastclaw raiders/Bonesplitterz/Moonclan Grots/Firebellies] follow him as he [wages a living tsunami of destruction/seeks revenge on X/heads the greatest Waaagh! the realms have ever seen].

The middle guy should make for a solid Errant-Questor stand-in, right? And the female could be used as a Knight-Questor once given a cloak, I think.

Help a rookie out

Current force:
>1x Mighty Lord of Khorne (General)
>1x Slaughterpriest (Hackblade and Wrath-Hammer)
>1x Bloodsecrator
>1x Bloodstoker
>1x Khorgorath
>5x Blood Warriors
>20x Bloodreavers

Yep, it's AoS starter set with bonus Slaughterpriest. Looking to expand big time.

Is the Slaughterstorm Battleforce worth to get for my army? Just want to build something viable that isn't 3 billion blood reavers/warriors and two heroes for buffing.

>>52329769
>>52329904

Especially since now all the Destruction factions believe in the same god(s). Could be a Wurgogg Prophet who is basically leading a holy war, could just be a particularly killy orc, or it could even just be an Ogre tyrant who has busted enough heads that the rest of the army just do what he commands.

>>52330024
Yeah, I just used Badblud Irongit as a made up Ironjaw, since I play Ironjawz. It could even be a Grot leading everyone. Your dudes are your dudes.

It's not even half bad a name, Badblud Irongit. Maybe I should start writing some fluff?

>>52329794
How much do you think the kit will cost

>>52328884
Also clan mors that has stormvermin as battleline

Aside from the Start Collecting box, where should I go with my Seraphon/Lizardmen army? I just have skinks and a priest for now. I was thinking of finishing the Shadowstrike Starhost, but I was thinking that a unit of regular Saurus Warriors for a good center of my army would be good too.
Also I like how the Temple Guard look, but they're expensive in-game and in real life.

Same boat as you, love the wood elves/Wanderers, but hesitant in investing in them because I don't see them getting any support in the future.

I have almost everything I need for a 1,000 point force anyway, though, so it's not like I shouldn't do anything with them.

slaughterstorm is great value, additional warriors are always good, wrtahmongers/skullreapers (magnetize em!) are cool as well as are additional bloodreavers. you can use everything in it.

>>52325832
Is that a single piece or do you have to assemble it like normal miniatures?

>>52330475

Just out of curiosity what sort of units do you have, anon? I'm not really sure where to go with Wood Elves but I wanted a solid core of archers/pikey guys, with some fast elite units, and then at higher point levels I'd include mages etc

>>52330871
>Wait are they going to be releasing elves?
it was always inevitable that they would release elves eventually.

the internet voices of anonymous unaccountable rumoring indicate that soon (2-3 months) elves will hit shelves.

>>52330911
I've been sitting on some Glade Guard, but I plan to proxy them as Waywatchers.

Other units I'm sitting on,
>Nomad Prince
>Sisters of the Watch
>Eternal Guard
>Wildwood Rangers

I was thinking about going,

>Nomad Prince (General)
>Spellweaver
>Waystrider
>6 Waywatchers
>6 Waywatchers
>10 Sisters of the Watch
>10 Wildwood Rangers

I don't know how effective it would be, though.

These are the same people that want to be strangled by some "thicc" female sigmarine thighs. Highly unpleasant mental picture.

so, here's a question. Why does the SC: stormcast eternals box come with two retributors if 3 is the minimum squad size?

>>52333064
Some spergs, some semi normies, and a bit more of a mix. Juding by this vid I'd be chad tier at this place, fairly depressing 2bh

>>52333184
Because the base game comes with three and you always want five.
It's a shit box unless you combine those two.

>>52333204

The relatively normal players don't have time to go to Adepticon, since they're busy with their families and/or careers. Of course everyone there is a fat autist. Locals excluded, that's the only sort who thinks "better drive/fly a long fucking distance to go look at plastic figures I could see on the internet 15 minutes after the reveal."

>>52333184

There are a lot of fucking retarded boxes like that. Most of them are legacy kits though so the squad size made sense when they were made. If you're right and it has the wrong number of models (I don't pay much attention to Sigmarines) then there's no excuse since they were a brand new cast.

DRUUCHI SLAANESH CULTISTS WHEN

Some friends of mine are talking about doing a slow grow tale of four gamers style league for AoS in the summer.

I'm tentatively interested but not sure what faction I would do.

We'd be playing matched games with points.

Back in the days of WHFB I always thought about playing Beastmen but never bothered due to them being shit (and WHFB being pretty shit too to be fair).

Are they any good in AoS? Thinking either them or khorne-dude-mans.

>>52333090
Teclis is also the god of magic and good sorcery.

>>52333521

Tzeentchian beastmen (tzaangors and the thaumaturge) are fairly good in my meta. Haven't seen beastmen here, so can't speak.

Hmmm not so hot on the Tzaangors.

I might go Khorne then.

Does anyone have that conversion of the free slaughterpriestt into a vampire lord? I know someone did an FEC one, but Im not looking for that. I swear I saved it but I cant find it.

>>52333831
What's GH? I never played WHFB, only 40k. I was planning on picking up the starter box and going from there, probably with sigmarines I guess.

>>52333846

>>52333862
Generals Handbook. Its pretty much a must-buy.

But theres a new edition coming tthis year so either pay the 20 quid or just pirate it.

Oh. Yeah I've got a PDF of that. I'll probably buy the new edition when it comes out.

>>52330857
Those look like kairic acolyte torsos from the tzeentch releases paired with angry heads. Pretty good use of them actually

New player here. Malignant and Skeleton Horde start collecting make a 1,000 point army if you combine them. Would that be any good?

If anyone here is too retarded to find a pdf of a battletome let me know and I'll put it on mega

Wait there a new edition already?

Fucking don't. Whats the point? Youre not going to be fielding two mortarchs, and black knights are fucking shit. Get one Horde box if you want, but youre better off with 3 skeleton boxes over a second SC box.

>>52334012
>>52333995
sorry

>>52333961
SC Skeleton Horde is only good if you plan on using the Mortarch which is 340-460 points depending on their flavour.in which case its not only massive bargain but it also drop you at around 500~700 points

The Cavalry from either set are the same kit so u can make either out of both

The Ghosts are really nice against High armour Targets but are generally terrible against Hordes
(They are also massive cunts to assemble if you dont Pin, this includes even the ghosts on the Mortarchs Base)

If youre serious about it there is two choices Either go full Flesh-Eater or take Grand-Alliance Death as the subfactions lack backbone on their Own.

The best thing about Death is still the fact that you can actually use summoning for a lot of good things (usually even in the 5-7 castroll range too)! and almost every Hero is a wizard.

You should paint yourself 40 skellies or Zombies (your choice) theyre youre Bread and Butter and generally are just big Tarpits that try to lockup your opponent. Get a Wightking with Blade and put it in the skeleton moshpit to further increase their annoyance.

>>52333332

Grave guard are 5 for 80 not 10 for 80
also 1 wight king should be enough at 1000 points (remeber only the general can use the command ability)

Axe is more Killy but Id prefer Blade+Banner as it buffs the skeletons

>>52334492
How about this instead?

Arkhan
Necromancer
Wight King with BTB

20 x Skeletons
10 x Skeletons
10 x Black Knight

>>52334492
>>52334297
Might be worth considering to drop 1 wight king to get 2x 30 Skeletons or 3x.20.

20x skeltons is arguable between blades and spears
on 30 SPears all the way

You get an extra attack at 30 the Wight king gives the skeletons an extra attack and the Necromancer lets them pile in and attack Twice (potentially 240! attacks)

Whens gw releasing a high elves revamp :p

Why are there so many vague half-baked slightly dumb questions lately.

>>52335569

No one can convince you to play anything since it's your own opinion that matters. This also goes for anyone asking "durr what army should my friend do?? he likes [nothing] and [everything]" - No one can answer this.

You own Daemons, they have good SC boxes, you'll find them cheap on ebay, go for them if cost is a problem, assuming you actually LIKE daemons.

>>52335620
I'd recommend picking up a brush and applying paint until satisfied.

Seriously though, painting guides, not that you'll need them when you already painted Skaven units They are big models, but you know that, so consider practicing skin and fur

Neither of these have concrete answers lads

>Whens gw releasing a high elves revamp :p
I would put it at the summer after this summer. This summer will be "shadow elves" then a lot of uninteresting SC and other things, maybe some death army thing too and then a year later "light elves".

just my random guess.

someone told me the new dorfs are gonna have rules that limit the color scheme at the GW store the other day. I havent seen anything that would indicate this. I want to get into AOS from 40k since it would give me something else to play when there are no 40k players in the store that I go to but this is kinda scaring me since I like the freedom of not being tied to certain colors

>>52336018
>high elves revamp
Never

>>52336349
Apparently they have rules that require certain paint schemes

Shit like "blue dudes get +1" movement" but not exactly that

Its nothing but a rumour until the book is released

>>52336065
Wait, are Ironjawz bad? I thought they looked pretty good.

>tfw I just realized you can play an all-Tzaangor army

I-is it any good? I just read through the warscrolls and the 1d4chan summary of their traits, Battalions, etc. and it looks like they're probably pretty good actually. Tzaangor are somehow simultaneously some of my least and most favorite models. I don't know what it is about them but I fucking hate their retarded bird faces and also fucking love their retarded bird faces. Seriously considering starting an army of them.

For some reason I'd always thought you absolutely had to take mortal and normal daemon tzeentch in a Disciples army

>>52336602
Sigmarines got updated to essentially do everything ironzawz do, but better

>>52336602
They do well in casual games and most tournament players are too shitty to counter them, but theyre really just Khorne Bloodbound 2.0 - pure melee army that can easily be shut down.

>>52336608

Ironjawz is mid tier at best

That, but for different cloud cities.

>>52337092
The verminlord is already built and is sitting in the right of the pic

>>52337038

Yup good deal. Hopefully its had mold lines scraped off and can be disassembled easy, its a lot easier to paint in pieces.

>>52337194
How about a wlc? In pieces or all at once?

>>52337242

A bit of both, you can put a lot of it together and attach the little piece details but it's easier to paint if you leave the side supports separate from the floor parts. As for the gun, there's pieces that would get in the way if you glued them on, they look like skaven symbols and wrap around the core of the barrel. Most people would probably recommend you just paint it all on the sprue and touch up the clipped parts after assembly.

Is it safe to expect the Kharadron Overlord preorders to start this weekend?

>>52337391
Either this week or next. Might just be that Khorne book this week.

>>52337179

What are best bits for a Black Orc Boss's weapon? Either a big-ass choppa or some kinda hammer.

THERE'S A SNAKE IN MY BOOT

So no news from adepticon yet other than shadespire and some more overlord info?

>>52328373
Skyre if you want to win
Beastmen if you want hordes.
>Best Option
Both if you want to play Chaos Fuzzballs. Beastmen have only been good in the Furious Brayheard formation for me (3000pts or so) Beastmen need the mortal wound output and range Skyre brings to be completive against almost any force not full compendium.

>>52337038
If you're Canadian paying 35 for it, not bad. But aren't new ones only 40?

>>52336608
Please take notes. I want to add a small Tzaangor contingent to my Beastmen and want to know how it can go.

>2 units of 3 Skyfires
>Shaman & Ogroid
>1-2 boxes of Tzaangors + Silver Tower

Probably not until the summer tho

>>52338876
a unit of 20 tzaangor are pretty strong, they also do well with buffs like mystic shield and the like. They've done me well in 1k games at least.

>>52337038
It's assembled wrong.

>>52338876
>>52336692

If I do it I'll let you know. My planned army idea was something like this for a Vanguard game:

General: Shaman
Thaumaturge

10x Tzaangor
10x Tzaangor
3x Tzaangor Skyfire
3x Tzaangor Enlightened

Battalion: Tzaangor Coven
(total exactly 1k)

But I'm not really sure where to go from there for 2k, to be honest. Also I guess it doesn't technically count as all-Tzaangor since the Thaumaturge is Mortal, but fuck it, he fits the aesthetic and theme.

What does Orruk infastructure look like? I want to build terrain for my Ironjawz army, but I have no ideas, besides maybe a big iron idol to Gork (or maybe Mork).

I also have an idea of Waaagh! totem poles for Bonesplitterz.

But other than that, what does the world of an Orruk look like? All the terrain I see online is for 40k.

>>52339823
Oh, I just had another idea. My friend and I wanted to homebrew moving/live "terrain/scenery". What about a big supply cart full of weapons and armor drawn by a gore-grunta or two, that if you fight too close to might be spooked and charge?

>>52339823
probably like 40k but little to no metal. things like hunts with tusks and shit as supports would fit. some sorta fighting pit lined with sharp things on edges and areas for orcs to watch.

>>52339923
Ooh, I like the fighting pit.

Where are the fucking aelves?

What are your opinions on Fimirs? They look like a bitch to fight. Could an army of a few units of them work? How would you fight them?

>>52337038
It's not, shipping makes it go over. Pre-assembled is bad for painting it. And it's missing bits that make it look complete

so I guess you guys chased some autist out of your general and now he is shitting up the 40k threads. Next time if you are throwing garbage over the fence could you aim it towards a different direction? /pfg/ or maybe one of the the ten bazillion mtg generals?

>>52333033
Only Tyrion.

>>52333668
>Teclis is also the god of magic and good sorcery.
Nope

>>52338352
Chop up Brute weapons and glue them into SUPER weapons.
Or use the spare weapons from a Maw Crusha. You get like 3 huge weapons when you make him as a mega boss and not Gordrak.

Will the magic phase ever be great again?

I miss having 20 casting dice and warpstone tokens to turn blobs of enemies into clanrats, or withering slann-stars into dust

You mean returning dispell mechanics?
