You're right but you picked the wrong one.
Fixed it for you.

Just getting into AoS - looking to play my favorite Chaos power - Nurgle. How much mixing should I be doing versus taking more 'mono' army stuff like focusing just on demons?

>>52366076
As much as you want, they don't have a battletome yet so you can take anything chaos and not have any problems.
Either go all mortal using Blight kings, Warriors and Marauders, or if you want a mixed army go Plague bearers for chaff and Blight kings.
The ONLY benefit to only mortal chaos is that you get blight kings as battleline, but if you get 2 units of plague bearers it doesn't matter anyway.
You can even throw in some plagueclaw catapults or skaven

You know, I'd love to make a Scourge Privateer list, but fuck if it isn't annoying that the Merwyrm is keyed to Destruction and thus an invalid addition to the army. It fits perfectly as far as fluff and crunch, but completely illegal for Matched Play.

It'll look turned the right way in your camera seeker because you've flipped that along with your camera. The image however isn't so flipped, whatever way you're pointing the top of the sensor will be what ends up on top of the image. So break out your image editor and rotate that shit until it's the right way around. Crop and resize while you're at it.

>>52367292
My only issue regarding the gradient is the white tip. Pure white, in general, never blends well with anything because it's too bright, not to mention its texture is fucking chalky. You should have left the tip pale yellow and then put a thin highlight of white on the edges of the tip.

>>52367377

The Gaunt is part of the Everchosen and a hero unit that can equip chaos artifact and traits.

So I take it that there's no new news?

'Ey lads, just had my birthday so I'm minted and can finally start one of the armies I wanted to.
First idea is a bunch of trolls with some sculpting to make them more kids tales trolls with hair and tails and horns, that sort of thing.

Second is a pure soulblight force, not much to be said there honestly. Anyone know if I can get the proper old Varghulf back though? I know there was a warscroll for it's old world version, where it was a bestial vampire and not a fucking ghoul.

Third is celtic beastmen, white fur with ginger manes, throwing on some random druidist bits to make it feel right. What do you reckon?

>>52367584
a common workaround for easy whitre is a slightly off white, like ivory form vallejo ( idon't know the GW one), it gives the same effect as white, but is much easier to do well

Depends on your personal preferences, if you like larger armies that let you play the board or if you like very small, like <10, model armies that are each powerhouses but each loss is a huge hit.

>>52369136
About the only thing with this range that I am disappointed with is its lack of a giant steampunk mech. So I wish to create that, using one of the ship kits.

Similar to what I did here with the gyrocopter kit, I will be using an imperial knight for the skeleton, and dwarfify it as much as I can. Not sure what I will be using it for in AoS, but that is sort of secondary to the goal.

I will be making it intended for my current dispossessed range, so it will fit the colors and stuff. I will ultimately decide which ship kit I will need depending on the pictures of the sprues.

So far I'm thinking of using the big balls for the shoulders of the knight kit, and feet. And other bits to armor. The figurehead on the front of the ship can be cut off to make the head of the mech. Then do stuff like using the knight warden fist in the left hand, and one of the cannon bits in the right. I am pretty enthusiastic about this project, and I will let you guys know as things progress.

>its when they do the big black 'out of stock' stamp on the picture of the model where you need to worry.
Even that's not always a death toll. The Wanderer Nomad Prince was marked as Out of Stock and was even removed from the webstore for a little while, but was eventually relisted.

It actually kinda surprised me, because I figured Wanderers would be one of those armies that'd be tossed to the wind eventually.

Alright team, all bullshit aside how does AoS play now?

I bought in big to End Times, bolstered my existing Tomb Kings with a ton of vampires converted to fit my TKs and just felt super let down when AoS launched.

I bought and played the boxset on launch and tried really hard to get into it but the game felt liek such random luck and tactically it didn't really matter, that's just my opinion on launch.

I gave away all my minis because at that time they were worth less than the cardboard boxes they came in, but I've been getting the itch to make another army and rejoin the community.

I'm not worried about power levels or what army I should play to win tourneys, just straight up is the game fun whilst also presenting flexible tactical options or is it just buy the new shit to win.

I really want to be convinced to return but I'm so goddam skeptical.

Ex GW Manager here, left just after 6th ed 40k for a real career.

>>52372475
But they will disappear anyway.

>>52373152
Try again. Try 2000 points of something, using the matched play rules from the general's handbook, and one of the scenarios for matched play. Gift from the heavens is my favorite.

I am being 100% honest when I say i genuinely like the game and find it fun and challenging. the general's handbook was a big part in that. (and im no GW employee or anything)

I played at the LVO and got 14 out of about 40 players. I thought all games were great, and I was never in a game where i felt there was nothing i could do, nor was there anything my opponent couldnt do to win, unlike in 40k where often games will be decided on deployment. Sure there are some terrible mismatches, but i have experienced very few, again, unlike 40k. And I really didn't even bring that competitive a list. It was a mix of stormcast eternals and dispossessed, and not even their best units. It rewards tactical thinking.

The game is definitely growing and gaining a greater following, and there is a reason for that.

>>52373257

cheers lad, yeah im down to give it a shot but I own literally nothing GW aside from paints, the only minis in my house are painting commissions so I'd need to invest>

The issue i found, aside from no points, was the game kind of bounced around through combats and phases and one player seemed to dominate the game from the beginning due to a better armor save or better hit/wound rolls.

My TK skellies never di anything because they werent chaos warriors or high elves or sigmarines, and i couldnt field enough or support them with the same magic that made them good in 8th. Admittedly I was trying to play an oldschool army with oldschool tactics in an entirely new game but we all were... it just seemed either so random or so hopeless from the start that I stopped trying.

So i know the core rules, and despite everything I really enjoy the skirmish style play as it reminds me of LotRsbg which was actually probably the most tactical game GW made aside from 5th.

Basically it's gonna require a decent buy in from me again to hit 2000 points, if 2000 points is anything like it was under 8th. So can I get started with some models that I like, perhaps an old battleforce or whatever the equivalent is and start playing some games that arent forgone conclusions?

Thanks for reply btw, I'm gonna have a ton more questions haha

>>52373396
I think getting to 2k is a lot cheaper than 8th, since you need less core units.

But as you said it's still quite an investment.

>>52373420

for a frame of reference, how many points would something like an old battleforce box be? usually 2-3 core units and a special unit.

or the 2 player starter box, and how free is the army selection? is an entire force of heroes a thing still?

>>52373479
For 2k you'll need 3 battleline units and a hero. The rest is open, so it's kinda like 6/7th edition that way.
The new start collecting boxes tend to give ~600 pts, but the old battleforces is a bit trickier. Since i don't remember their setup.

www.scrollbuilder.com is a very handy site if you wanna check pointscosts, I find that most of the Old 8th pointscosts got transferred over in the generals handbook, at least for the normal units.

>>52373396
You play Death, apparently.

A Malignants start collecting box is 460 points.

That's a Mortis Engine, 5 Hex Wraiths and 3 Spirit Hosts.

Buy a Start Collecting Skeleton Horde instead and it's 540.

That's 10 Skeletons, 5 Black Knights and Arkhan the Black.

You have to have at least 3 Battleline Units for 2k points and 1 Hero.

The Battleline units are in the General's Handbook, but they are Skeletons or Zombies for Death. With others being Battleline if you stick to a subfaction.

For instance Spirit Hosts become battleline if you only stick to Nighthaunts. (Ghosts, basically).

Realistic wishlisting:

Give Necromancers Malignant keyword, make Hexwraiths and Spirit Host Malignant Battle line.

Start collecting malignant now actually works for matched play and you can take advantage of the Mortis Engine for Summoning.

Alternatively, give Mortis Engine Nighthaunt, make Tomb Banshee a wizard and increase cost by 30-40pts.

>>52367703
Well, the original model is called the Sonorous Tocsin, which is a bell instead of the cage, and works like a musician giving out a bonus to run and charge.

>Order: Light Aelves and Shadow Aelves look cool as fuck and have good fluff, new Fyreslayers stuff to make them look "cool", Freeguild gets a new name and they get their own battletome (Imperial Guard underdog fans finally rejoice)
>Chaos: Slaanesh is not dead, Chaos Aelves, Beastmen are now good, GW selling Chaos Dwarfs on the main shop and making them official
>Death: Tomb Kangz are back, Vampire army, Skellies army, Ghost army, Shyish humans army, Necromancer army consisting of Dr. Frankenstein guys and their experiments such as wheel skeleton or fast suicide-bomb zombies, Nagash and his Deathcast Eternals
>Destruction: Gobboz are back and Skarsnik as well, Troggoth army, Skarsnik is the spiritual liege of the Destro armies

What does the most damage per attack in the game

Does anything go above d6?

>>52373396
The games scales well, even a 500 point match can be fun

>>52373504
>>52373537

thanks guys, yeah i did consider getting back on the undead train but maybe a change of scenery is needed.

I spent so much converting every warrior and archer out of tombguard haha, fuck when i thnk about the cash i spent on that army

>>52373953
Lord of chaos has a one time 2d6 Hit. Some heroes have instakill Options (archaon, khorne lord, nagash). There are straight 6 damage weapons as well.

How difficult would it be to convert Prosecutors into Morghast?

I hate the Morghast model but they're really good.

>>52374080
Why would you ever sell something you put that much time and money into?

Even if you didn't like Age of Sigmar, you could have just played the old rules, or even a fan ruleset.

>>52373953
Off the top of my head I know Durthu has damage 6, and Alarielle's beetle has 5. Don't think there's anything higher, unless you count Skarbrands chance to do 8 wounds.

>>52374107
At least he didn't burn it.

>>52373949
>new Fyreslayers stuff to make them look "cool"
Do you think that's possible? I think the basic concept of naked midgets is irredeemably bad and can't be fixed.

>>52373949
>Skarsnik is the spiritual liege of the Destro armies
Can anybody explain to me why anyone likes Skarsnik at all? He's just a typical perfidious schlomo. Even Grom the Paunch was more interesting as a goblin hero.

>>52374272
Sure
>bring back Grimnir as a magma golem
>Fyreslayers now inspire to become like him
>Elite Units are obsidian magma dwarfs
>fluff reason why they fight naked to ascend into a higher form
there you go

>>52374322
If Grimnir is back, there's no reason for them to exist.
>Elite Units are obsidian magma dwarfs
And what is the reason for such a thing to exist?
>fluff reason why they fight naked to ascend into a higher form
Can you also think of a fluff reason why they should have terrible models?

>>52374322
Their god was a fire/magma dwarf, stands to reason that if they hammer enough shards of said god into themselves, they start being like him.

You're comparing Settra to Immortan Joe. Okay.
How are the two linked in any obvious form?

>>52371500
Don't listen to these faggots. Get the General either mounted to sit beside the Master Engineer or on foot in order to more easily hide him. Get some Outriders for skirmishing and getting objectives.And of course, get more handgunners.

>>52374837

Age of Sigmar General.

>>52375384
Why should you be afraid? Most Fantasy fans are just Total Warhammer fans straight from /v/ and getting their lore from 1d4. And the only one who has an autistic hatred for AoS is the slav poster.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how dissapointing was Adepticon? I'd give it an 8

>>52375485
I like the sound of Shadespire, hoping its like Hinterlands / Kill Team.

>>52375384
>implying we aren't going to flame you here as well

>>52375492
It's not. It's just GeeDub's attempt at moving in on the X-Wing market with a card-based skirmish game.

I am a Slav(e) of Darkness and I hate Age of Sigmar!

Renegade Freeguild dude here. Army's basically Chaos Renegades, using British Redcoats for infantry gunlines and Light Dragoons on Chaos Marauder horses and British Legion on Chaos Steeds for Demigryphs, supported by Daemon Engine "Steam Tanks". Probably better to ask in WIP for ideas, but I figured I'd give it a shot here.

My Handgunners are an easy decision, just regular ole British Redcoats. Even Greatswords will likely just be Redcoats with the Chaos Warrior Great Weapon upgrade slotted in. But the thing I've really been musing on is what to use for my Freeguild Guard that I'll likely be using to screen my Handgunners. I was originally considering just regular ole Redcoats with officer swords and a Chaos Marauder shield. However, I'm almost thinking about reneging on that and using something slightly more... chaff for the chaff, I guess. Rather than more Redcoats, just wondering if there'd be something more fitting for the role of "get shot to death and hacked apart while Redcoats unleash their handgun volleys. Indians with shields? Something closer to Flagellant minis with shields?

>>52376143
I'm well aware. I'm also well aware that if I set up a table with my only infantry being Freeguild Handgunners, they're going to get an anal rodeo run on them. So having something to screen them helps to keep them alive and firing. The Perry box comes with enough that I'd be able to get enough to convert them without much issue at all, just adding Marauder shields to the off-hand.

That said, I'm looking for ideas, not for a faggot's attempt at snark.

>>52376196
>Perry box
You have to go back.

>>52376196
Don't listen to these other dweebs, I was going to do a Perry Samurai army to stand in as bretonnians before I found a local who was selling.

>>52376230
Nah. I'll stick to buying all of my GeeDub shit from bitz vendors or ebay.

>>52376255
Oh, don't worry, I'm not. Sounds pretty slick, too. And yeah, that would actually work surprisingly well.

>>52375684
If you take a dwarf lord without shieldbearers, you use the points for the warden King warscroll. But if you give him some wargear that's only on the compendium warscroll, then you have to do the Lord on shieldbearers points. So you might as well put him on shieldbearers. Google image search some conversions, lots of people easily make shieldbearers

>>52374107

i didnt sell it, i gave it away.

it wasnt worth anything to me anymore and even giving it away was a struggle. studying at the time so i sold a lot of armies, most for profit.

but i left the hobby, no one eas playing old rules or new rules anymore in my area it was just shit cluttering my house

>>52375814
Not really on topic, but I vaguely remember you talking about the fact you're using a Juggernaut with Maulerfiend bitz as a Steam Tank. Have you considered performing the same dark rites and converting a flying Daemon Engine for Gyrocopters/bombers? I'm sure the Hell Chicken's probably way to big stock, but with a craft conversion, you might could make it work.

>>52369200
My local meta just bitches and whines about shooting in to/out of melee so I refuse to use any ranged units on principle.

I'd love these dwarves but the local grognards would throw a fit if I tried to play with them.

OKAY GUYS

ADD THREE NEW FLUFFY ARMIES FOR EACH ALLIANCE

>>52376362
Seems I need to find some big-ass shield then

>>52376953
You first

>>52376953
Death:

>Forest horrors. Creatures of myth and legend who are inhabited by angry spirits
>I can't think of another

Order:
>An army from the depths of the mortal realm oceans. Heavy deep ones sunken empire feel. A dark aelf faction
>Golem faction. While the kharadron fled to the skies to escape chaos, other duardin encased their spirits in crafted golems to sleep out the age of chaos. Magic rune heavy with lots of magic resistance. They are reawoken by Grungni after he left azyr
>Rebranded brettonians. A massive kingdom that held out against chaos. United under an entirely new God. No, it's not the lady

Destruction:
>Grot sky pirates. Common enemy to the kharadron
>Beastmasters. Barbarian Men who control and use the beasts of the mortal realms.
>Can't think of another

Chaos:
>Can't think of how to fit any more under the chaos gods. Maybe another skaven clan?

>>52377103
Actually the best shield I've seen is a big Celtic themed decorative button. Go to craft or fabric store and peruse their button selection. Ignore how is painted and take more note of it's pattern or design

>>52373953
Glottkin shooting attack is 2D6, Skarbrand can do one attack with 8 wounds but only against a single model.

>>52374101
Well how about you just use Aetherwings instead? They're even smaller.

Prosecutors are like half as big as Morghasts, if not smaller.

Also, your opinion sucks, Morghasts are one of the coolest things to come from End Times.

Squats 2.0

>>52377400
How so? I'm pretty sure people who repeat the squat meme are not familiar with the squats.

>>52376953
>Order
- Chevalier Crusade
All mounted knights. Traditional knights mixed with more fantastic stuff like demigryphs, pegasi or even hydras. Warmachines are mounted on chariots, everything else rides a horse or beast.
- Universitas Arcana
Expanding wizards from Eldritch Council and Collegiate Arcanum into a major faction. Mage-warrior troops, alchemist warmachines and various weird magical constructs and summons.

>Destruction
- Gobbo Sky Pirates
Ramshackle dirigibles and lots of random values.
- The Gargant Stampede
Gargants only. Regular gargants as battleline, new kit for giant heroes or elite.
- Wyrmhunt Tribes
Humans that live and thrive in the Realm of Beasts as Monster Hunter: the Faction, basically. (Might encroach too much on Bonesplitterz)

>Chaos
- Cults of Excess
Slaaneshi aelves plus daemons and mortals of Slaanesh.
- Clan Eshioulder
Moulder and Eshin combine to make horrible spider-ninja-rats and other body horrors lurking in the shadows.
- The Daemonforges
Since higher tech and daemon tech is possible, let's go all the way and bring over Maulerfiends and Helldrakes as well.

>Death
...yeah, I got nothing. TK, I guess?

>>52376953
Order:

Groin Kikka, here. Ready to bash!

Planning to jump into AoS, trying to decide which brand of orc (or orruk if you prefer) to buy into. Ironjawz or Bonesplitterz, Can anyone offer incite into how they play, and which do you think is better for a new player.

>>52376953
Order:
>Aelfs so those fags stfu
>A mob based peasant army, plenty of pikes and muskets but they need reinforcements of other order units to get synergy and more dakka/resistance
>Order doesn't need more shit T B H

Chaos:
>Full nurgle army with battle tome as it's quite popular
>I think they have enough shit too

Destruction:
>Crazy mercenaries, units made from humans, orcs, skavens, whatevs that allows high customization and crazy formations. Heavily penalized by morale so it evens out (loose a ton of units to desertion the moment you can't get your shit together as they fluff wise wouldn't give a fuck about what they fight for as long as they get paid and don t die)

Death:
>TK, but it wouldn't make much sense to have someone against Nagash under his rule so fluff changes needed I suppose
>Spoopy stuff army based on halloween shit like scarecrows, pumpkin monsters, swamp things, you know wacky monster shit but less goofy and more spoopy
>All those armies that only have 3-4 unique units get some new line or shit in general

>>52377937
Their website is pretty easy. It's the same as in 40k

>>52378037
Ironjaws is a low model count army of orcs in heavy armor. Big boys

Bonesplitters is a very high model count army

>>52378037
Bonesplitterz are pure hordespam. Shit armor all around, but with at least two wounds per guy and a secondary save they are still pretty tanky for a horde. Good shooting and solid melee with great anti-monster tech, but they have trouble with heavy armor.

Ironjawz are elite. Few models, all of them hard and punchy. Slow as molasses by default, they can be made into speed devils with the right build. Their battletome is a bit of a strange beast in that it has none of the new improvements, but Ironjawz barely care because the generic gear and traits from the General's Handbook is outright amazing for them.

I'm wondering what some of the least popular armies are.

I've been looking over Dark Elves and they didn't seem too popular since Fantasy into Sigmar. They don't have a start collecting box either.

>>52377940
As in miniatures, or as in rules?

they should advance human technology for their new iteration

give them clockwork robots. or weird gangley robot suits like in dishonored

Why does Fantasy keep getting new games but AoS doesnt

>>52378914
Because the Old World is relateable and well-established and the Mortal Realms are just a gigantic shitty mess that's great for making up YOUR DUDES but garbage for anything more focused or concrete.

Do tell me in what way Silver Tower is a shitty game, oh great master

Can somebody explain to me why we ha e so many little factions now? I am considering getting back, but it feels very strange to have my faction divided in amny smaller ones.

>>52379256
Because GW likes to dice its food before it feeds. Making mincemeat of old factions makes it that much easier to simply drop them or rework them in the future. Death and aelves being the best example of that.

>>52379256
Look at the Sylvaneth, a small four-unit faction that proved extremely popular, at which point GW made them into an actual, full faction by giving them a bunch more units and some special characters. If, say, Daughters of Khaine are popular enough at some point, they might get a big ass update that gives them more stuff as well

>>52379315
>aelves
What's up with aelves?

>>52379388
But wouldn't it make more sense to have them rolled together with another faction until they prove popular? Feels like this could lead to people who like daughters of khaine to not buy them anyway because why would i play such a small faction? Also how do mixed armies work? You can mix factions right?

>all these people hating on Games Workshop making games

This is why Kirby thought they were a models company, guys.

>>52366378
Neat.jpg

>>52378914
I'm assuming you'ret taking about the new announced video game. It's just a safer bet for developers and publishers

>>52379441
You would be right if it was like in the old fantasy where you could play only with a faction. But the Grand Alliance system allows you to add a small daughters of khaine force to your Order army without any problem.

Mixed armies work like this: basically you can take any model of a Grand alliance mixed at will without any malus. If instead you chose to play a single faction you get a specific army ability tailored to that faction instead of the generic one.

So whats the new deal with ogres? They work with orcs now or something? Getting back into tabletop and AoS seems pretty popular in my area so trying to jump in with my old faction.

>>52379691
Ah , i got the feeling i was missing something. Thank you.

>>52379722
All the Destruction guys worship Gorkamorka in different forms and guises.

They work together a lot as a result.

Yup. Now ogors are just bigger, not-green orruks. Gone at the days of being mercenaries that'd work for the highest bidder. Actually, both of Fantasy's neutral factions are gone. Tomb Kings vanishing in the sands of the Old World, and ogors now just more Gorkamorka-worshiping break-everything savages.

Because that is how they sold them, oyu could only buy boxes of 6 BP and boxes of 16 Men at arms/Bowmen

>>52380769
But why wouldn't they just go and make the BP 5-man increments and Men-At-Arms 10-man increments? It's not like they sale the models anymore anyways, and it sticks out like a thumb when around everything else in the game.

yeah, pretty sure squats are basically gay biker bros with big land ships, and thats about it

they don't even really have landships. just tunneling vehicles that the DKoK got. On the whole they don't have power armor, except for a few teminator-like units. The rest were armored like the guard.

The kharadron overlords don't even really have power armor either. A few heroes seem to have assist frames, but for the most part they appear to just be environmental suits.

These guys are about as squats as 8th edition dwarfs

Aelven craftmanship is the finest!

You're forgetting the PAIN TRAIN they also had.

*Inhales deep* wrong. The suits above the lowest are described as powered by aether. They are therefore powered armour.

>Freeguild gets a new name and they get their own battletome.

Why should the Freeguild get a battletome? Their whole backstory was that they were so shit, Sigmar had to replace them with the Stormcast.

They don't even have a unique mount anymore.

Thats not how that works

Archaon and chaos are a bunch of mary sues, so sigmar had to make his own mary sues to fight them
