reminder that the old world is the better setting and normies see AoS as a big joke and no videogame developer will ever approach GW to use the AoS setting

Which battleline would a vampire be most likely to use?

>>52467668
Fluffwise? Depends on your style of vampire.
Theres actually a vampire faction that has blood dragon knights as battleline.

>>52467668
The normal Death alliance battleline ones such as Zombies and Skellies. If you go pure Soulblight, you can use the expensive as fuck Blood Knights as battleline.

So, generic vampire lords are...pretty shit?

5 wounds, with their attacks at 1"/4/3+/3+/-1/D3. That's really not great for what's meant to be a combat hero.

New to AoS; I know I can take anything from one Alliance as an army, and that a specific faction can have bonuses if I only take them..

you can only get the BCR benefits if your ENTIRE army is BCR. Otherwise they become just destruction.

DAMN! I wanted to run Gutbusters with 1 or 2 of the big mounted dudes for fun but keeping the Gutbuster specials...or Vice versa! DAMN IT GW!

>>52468308
and for the allrounder he is it's pretty decent

>>52468666

Alright, other than the lord's equipment.

I just feel like running so few models feels sketchy as hell. Especially spending over half my points on 10 models. How good are Blood Knights?

>>52468695
Its not stupid at all. Its very thematic and fluffy and fun looking and in casual games itll be great fun to play with and against.

Don't expect to go up against the power builds from any of these >>52468431 factions and have much chance of victory but depending who you play against, who is in your area, it may not matter.

>>52468695

Pretty good, very quick to tie up an opponents high value targets. And with a standard they get a free 3 wound model back per turn which is always nice for tying up models!

Death just doesn't deserve more models in my opinion!

>>52469267
Hopefully never. It's one of the things that makes this game interesting. And with its popularity among long-time players, i don't see GW removing it.

Ok AOS, you win.

I don't like this game's combat mechanics and the aestethic of half its factions, but it seems decently fun to play nonetheless, so I want to give it a try.

Now I know Death seem to be the underdogs here but I'd really fancy an army of just skeletons, morghast and most importantly, this glorious motherfucker on the left.
I think Arkhan and his spooky mount would fit nicely too.
No vampires though, because fuck 'em. Ghouls, varghulf, strigoi, cryptozords, bubblegheists and whatever else would ruin the theme as well. So strictly bones and, at most, ghosts.
Is that viable? Can I get some suggestions about good and shitty synergies and eventual traps?

>>52469267
Only people that dont play the game dont like that rule

>>52470021

And all that for 140pts. Other alliances would suck their own dicks for the power that VampLords bring for 140pts. They're not the gamebreaking hax they were back in WHFB but they're still one of the best generic heroes in the game in terms of versatility.

So .... mates are buying into the game - so now i have to start a small army to get them into the hobby. Now - flesh eaters and Blight kings - the only factions that seem remotly interesting, only has like 3 kits each. How do you go about playing them? blight kings especially - do i need deamons aswell to even play them?

Blightkings is actually part of the nurgle rotbringers faction. Which is the faction for units with nurgle and mortal keywords.

Lucky for you you have more options than you think. Most things in the the Slaves to Darkness faction (StD - pun entirely intended) can take the nurgle keyword. Meaning you essentially have all options available in nurgle rotbringer and StD to do a nurgle mortals army.

What's the benefit of that? Blightkings are battleline.

Outside of that most people also do nurgle daemons with their rotbringers because of keyword synergy. You could even bring some skaven pestilens because they have nurgle keywords, meaning more options. Of course going with nurgle daemons or skaven pestilens means your blightkings are no longer battleline, but there are advantages to everything, and you have way more options than you think. Essentially if you want to go nurgle, your options ideally are Daemons of Nurgle, Nurgle Rotbringers, Slaves to Darkness (taking the nurgle keyword), and Skaven Pestilens.

Battletome: Blades of Khorne

Rules:
A host of rules and abilities for Khornate armies both daemon, mortal and mixed:

- Allegiance Abilities allowing a Khorne army to draw from Battle Trait and Command Trait tables, featuring suitably brutal rewards (heal units after a kill, add to the Attack characteristics of weapons, leverage blind fury to re-roll attacks and much more);
- Blood Tithes – a Khorne army generates Blood Tithe points whenever a unit belonging to any player is destroyed. Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows! These can be expended for rewards from the Blood Tithe table; these rewards range from the calamitous to the apocalyptic…
- Artefacts of Power – potent tools of death and destruction wielded by mortal or Bloodbound Heroes in your army;
- Daemonic Gifts – deadly weaponry and powerful icons for daemonic Khorne Heroes in your army;
- Blood Blessings of Khorne – ancient rites and rituals performed by Khorne priests – these sacrifices allow them to call upon their infernal master for aid;
- 2 Battleplans – Gathering Bloodstorm and Skulls For the Skull Throne! – which epitomise and showcase the brutally efficient fighting style of the Blades of Khorne;
- 33 Warscrolls – rules for fielding mortal and daemonic Blades of Khorne miniatures in your games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar, with 23 Warscroll Battalions providing extra rules and tactics for specific collections;
- Pitched Battle profiles featuring points valued for every miniature and Warscroll Battalion, for use in Matched Play games.

Warscroll Cards: Blades of Khorne

This pack of 33 large-format cards contains the each of the unit Warscrolls from Battletome: Blades of Khorne, printed on individual cards for handy reference in your battles, along with a selection of gaming tokens – use these to indicate the Allegiance Abilities, skills and statuses used by your models in games of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

>>52470367

Imagine my friends getting a starter box, thats the amount of models and money im willing to spend just to get them down to the club and away from the vidya... the game itself seems alot more streamlined, easy and "fun" than 40k but its quite annoying that there isnt more human-ish nurgle models so they could get a starterbox. I dont really fancy straight up deamons, so a slaves box and a blightkings box would suffice?

Is there any point in a new player buying the generals handbook now or is it better to wait for the next one?

>>52470631
If you feel like a cheapskate downloaded. It's 20 euros, so it isn't really bankbreaking.

I play the game and I hate the double turn.

I play a shooting army and abuse it to its full extent. Getting two full turns to rip your opponent apart with shooting and spells isn't fun..

If both armies are melee focused it's not a big deal, but mass shooting breaks the double turn wide open.

>>52470553
I'd say thats a good start. The blightkings box comes with TONS of extra delicious nurgley bits that you can use to embellish the slaves to darkness dudes and make them look more nurgle. I'd replace the head of the sorcerer that comes in the start collecting slaves to darkness with an extra head from the blightkings bits to make him look like a sorcerer of nurgle. Go nuts with it. That's part of the fun of this game, the hobby and converting.

I feel like an idiot because I can't figure out how to look at it in the mega op provided. Can't seem to link to it. Want to preview it before I buy it.

>>52470115
Except I play the game.

>>52470553
2 options:
You need battleline so with Slaves your battleline is Warriors or Marauders
With Rotbringers it would be blightkings.

You can get 2 boxes of blightkings for the price of the Slaves box and will give you the 2 battleline (all blight kings).

If you go Slaves + Blightkings you get only 1 battleline (the warriors) and the blight kings/knights/chariot are not battleline so you should grab 10 more warriors or plague bearers or plague monks off ebay to make up the second battleline.

>Slaanesh is Not Dead Edition

We got some new info? I've ignored the general and /tg/ in a whole cause of faggots on this board.

As for why I'm back for the moment. It was simply to say, I was incredibly depressed that Slann don't sound like Jabba the Hutt, but sound like an air filled dead frog which somebody stepped on. Fuck sake Creative Assembly. Also, that Slann in the trailer better not be an OC Lord like the Bretonnian guys. I know Kroq-Gar will be the Legendary Lord (probably with Tetto'eko and maybe Lord Kroak) but looked... too Lordy to be a regular Slann. Who the fuck greenlit it's face up I dunno.

Also, why the FUCK is there now a ANOTHER Khorne Battletome? The info says it's Khorne Daemons + Bloodtide + Slaves to Darkness in one, right? Plus new Artefacts and Traits.

How does this work for Seraphon? They need Warlord Traits and Unique Artefacts. Can somebody also explain why the FUCK they're not in the General's Handbook Default? Why do several factions get both the Generic Handbook traits + artefacts AND their unique ones?

Or are the Seraphon a minor faction of the 'major' factions like I thought? You know, too numerous models like the Ironweld, Free Guilders et al to be in the Order Coalition book on it's own, but too minor to actually give access to the Generic Traits + Artefacts AND their own unique ones?

And by generic artefacts I mean those other things, not the items, but the bonuses order things that Stormcast get a bajillion of. Fuck you GW.

At least they confirmed female Stormcast. So my artwork requests didn't go amiss. I have 2 to post, one now, one when I'm back.

Best one first.

>>52470947

- Mark of Chaos: Nurgle

Total: 980/1000

Again, giving all the slaves to darkness stuff the nurgle keyword as it says on their warscrolls keeps you in the nurgle mortal keyword, meaning your blightkings are battleline.

The start collecting box gives you 12 chaos warriors, but you can only field a unit in 10's. So the spare 2 you can use for other things. I would give one of them some cool blightkings bits and stick him on a big rock or piece of scenery and make him a lord of chaos.

And Seraphon have one Battletome, what's your point? In fact, Undead have 2 (TWO). The Ghoul shit and the giant coalition Undead tome. But that's irrelevant. General's Compedium gave Undead special shit, whatever those traits are called. Nearly every faction got them, bar Seraphon and as-yet-unreleased stuff. Which is fine for them, as the as-yet-unreleased stuff gets it thrown into their Battletome. I was told the reason why was 'le update for Seraphon soon, that's why!' yet Stormcast et al got all their shit. And even if the Seraphon were updated (and why the fuck would they be?) why does Stormcast get a bajillion different choices? To me it seems like their just 'that popular faction we have to update for money', rather than actually enjoyable to produce content for.

Warpseer is the worst Verminlord, even though the Corruptor is the actual 'worst' VL in terms of fighting, but is powerful when paired with Pestilens and the cheapest. he's supposed to fight with them so if you don't take them, i wouldn't bother

Warp seer makes a poor general, but his magic/combat is okay., it looks decent enough. you should consider the Verminus formation

Shit planning with zero foresight, same with beastmen.and dragon ogres are beyond fucked even GW has no idea what to do with them

>>52472044
Everyone got split up like that. They did that for 2 reasons:

1) it's narrative. The idea is each subgroup under each old army book deserves its own attention, and the factions will be getting their own updates and story in due time.

2) loose allies rules. with the way AoS is right now in rules, you can still field all of those faction together, along with just about everything else in the order grand alliance.

No I don't mean relics, I said that in the original point. I meant, what is it called...Warband Traits or something. I had to go find my book

>Chaos Warband Traits
>Stormcast Eternal Warband Traits
>Fyreslayer Warband Traits
>Skaven Warband Traits
>Ironjawz Warband Traits
>Sylvaneth Warband Traits
>Death Warband Traits

This was post Seraphon, why isn't their a Warband trait for them? As for hate-boner, I'm basing it not on them existing, but out of GW's dislike of them as an army. Go on, look at WHFB and show me how many Lizardmen novels exist. I'll wait. It shouldn't take you long, there was only one... and it's as them as antags. I am of the belief that GW doesn't like Lizardmen from a setting point of view. That they were too left field and this is supported by them flipping from Neutral to Order in, what, 7th? Or was it 8th? I forget. Anyway, they exist now and only exist because dinosaurs sell to autists like me. I don't think they're liked by GW. We've had, what, 2 short stories that include Seraphon, all as antags who never utter a word. Then we have one story as a side-force to job for Stormcast and they were only included cause Josh Reynolds is a fellow dino autist.

Not really. Khorne are still largely fucked from range attacks. Most armies have adequate range to deal with them. Hardest will be pure Ironjawz, but who the fuck is going pure Ironjawz? The Destruction and Greenskin buffs are good.

>>52472258

Might wanna re-read the 3-pont blood tithe option, or read over how flesh houbds skull cannons chaos knights chariots etc work.

>>52472416
hopefully ironjawz will get their updated battletome too to bring them in line with this book. The ones needing it right now are:

skaven pestilens
flesh-eater courts
ironjawz
fyreslayers
seraphon

>>52472469
True but they're still better than having your face smashed by Bloodreavers and shit. Only people not affected by it are probably Seraphon since the FUCK YOU Skink ability. Though Khorne might have a way round it now. I dunno.

>>52472436
Don't Death have Ld10 now? Or is that the Ghoul faggots only? Dunno what Khorne is, probably 10 as well now. Fucking Bravery is pointless now as nearly everybody is either 10 or cheap enough. Even the Stormcast Chamber has that Immune to Bravery Modifier ability. Those poor Seraphon players can't do the tag team of Trogolodon, Standard, Carnosaur and Dread Saurian. Nothing better than -3 Bravery, 3 dice and choose 2 highest rather than 2 dice Battleshock and the "Lose D3 extra models per Battleshock phase".

Or whatever that faggot dropped on me. Stormcast with Bravery 5 or 6 or whatever and all that jazz is annoying.

>>52472533
Yeah I also forgot Flesh-Eater Courts are kinda fucked against Khorne. It is made up with Ld10 though and lots of other shit. Think they have a few "Heals D3 every Hero phase" units, cheap and powerful basics (always amazes me a 8ft tall bred for war memory Lizard is less powerful and less well armoured than a Empire Swordsman and Dryad and Crypt Ghoul, but I'm glad, got a Seraphon player in my local).

>>52472533

That isnt how this works. theyre going to be releasing new tomes and factions, not updating old ones

>>52472598

>>52472156
this looks fun.

3 bloodthirsters that get to attack during the hero phase and the combat phase. combine with at least two of these options >>52472199 for added fun times had by all.

how many points is 3 bloodthirsters and minimum battleline?

>>52472598
Stormcast has loads of Battletomes. The Khorne one just combined 2 tomes and added the Daemons to it as well.

>>52472615
>>52472630
My guess is they'll introduce another Ironjawz type sub-faction. They'll then add another Skaven faction. Then more Undead ones. Then the third Dwarf one (we have Grungi, Grimnar factions, we need Vayalla one, unless she's considered dead-dead cause Nagash ate her, I always thought their Gods were Old Ones who stayed behind and attained Godhood cause they were worshipped, like Sigmar became a God due to worship, that's how shit works in the settings anyway) as for Seraphon? I don't see anything for Seraphon and I wouldn't want it. Some said Sunbloods would be introduced, a faction of Seraphon which are more 'solid' due to Celestial Energy, rather than just pure memory. But I think that defeats the coolness of Seraphon. I'd rather they stayed as is until new models came out THEN updated. It's not like Seraphon NEED Warband traits or unique magic or whatever. Also, wanna bet their magic is utterly shit? Like how Tzeentch magic was always shit? Or how Teclis always raped Slann et al in magic despite them being most powerful ever? I think it's also a shame Seraphon didn't get a 'Big Powerful' unit. Lord Kroak is 500 points and is 300 points too expensive. Seriously. I feel sorry for Seraphon players.

Anyway, the ultimate goal is that Fyreslayers, Sky Dwarfs and whatever Vayalla's one get combined. Pestilens is either combined with Rotbringers or with new Skaven or fucking both. Etc and so on.

>>52472638
Why Fyreshitters?

>>52472692
BTs are 280, 300, 360 or 400 (Skarby).
Bloodreavers are 60 points, Bloodletters 100.

>>52472709
>The Khorne one just combined 2 tomes and added the Daemons to it as well.

And all the updates.

>>52472750
Bloodreavers are 70 points now, but apparently they gain a 6+ save.

>>52472771
Where are you finding the new points?

>>52472692
1 Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage 280 points
1 Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage 280 points
1 Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage 280 points
1 unit blood warriors 100 points
1 unit blood reavers 60 points
total 1000 points

Blade of Khorne is the New Khorne battle tome going on pre-order this week.
It's a 152 hardcover book
What i liked :

-Lot of illustrations.
-Bunch of fluff and stories.
-Regroup Bloodbound, mortal and Daemons armies.
-Blood tithe system for Khorne only army ! (you get point by killing or be killed and you can use them for extra)
-Extra Prayers for Khorne Priest.
-Large collection of Warscrolls battalions for Mortal and Daemon ( Some are very very very good).
- 4 new types of chapter like battalions (see the image down there).
-There is a 3-8 Bloodthirster only Formation ^^ (Council of blood, my new life goal !) .
-Daemonic gifts (weapons and adornments).
-Extra banner options for "Totem" hero.
-Artefacts of power for mortal, Trophies for Bloodbound.
-18 command traits (6 for Bloodbounds, 6 mortals, 6 daemons).
-Bloodreaver got a save now 6+ but cost 1 more point.
-Heavy metal section is well furnished ;)

What i miss/dislike :

- A Beastmen of Khorne section :'(
- Old mortal Warscroll (but it's on the App anyway)
- The big battalion are a bit too big to use them. The Stormcast Chamber battalion were more reasonable

Conclusion :

The book is very fun to read with loads of great idea ! My khorne motivation is at 100% now !!
It's not a quick money grab and it's very nice they took their time to update Stormcast and Khorne battletome.
If you are a khorne player it's very a solid buy.

>>52472881
>>52472882
Huh I never heard of it until now
Shows how much I like Khorne I suppose

>>52472750
>Skarbrand is 400
>Lord Kroak is 560
Lord Kroak can't even use the magic which can be used more than once in it's description.. more than once. His other magic is meh. His command ability is meh. He has 'You have to do 10 Wounds To Kill Him' which is OK, but Mortal Wounds are easy to come by, so he's easily killed. He's 4+ and he doesn't give anything to others.

He needs to be 360 points, really at the max. Or to give him an Aura buff to local units. Jesus fuck who wrote that shit? Fucking Fateweaver is 360 points or some shit and he basically can't fail at casting

>b-b-but Kroak is a Level 4 mage!
And Nagash is Level 9 or some shit and is only 240 points more, has 6 more wounds and will rape you in melee or range. Isn't he 3+ as well?

God dammit. Who did the numbers?

i would recommend getting several small ones rather than a few large ones even for big units. with how terrain heavy you want most boards to be, big trays where everything fits can be a pain in the ass. you will be abandoning them though as soon as you get in combat.

Strength 6 missile attacks with Poison was great for their price.

>>52467668
I'm building pure soulblight. At 2000 pts, I'll play:

Battleline
4x squads of 5 bloodknights (1040)

Heroes
Vlad (120) w/ amulet or cape of mist, whatever
Isabella (80) w/ sword unholy shadow for insta summon of terrorgheist once in shriek range
Vampire lord on zombie dragon (440) w/ cursed book and ruler of the night

Behemot
Terrorgheist in summoning (320)

Maybe it will suck balls, but its gonna look good as fuck and I'll have my vampire army. Screw you GW for no battletome.

>>52474355
About the power creep, GW is taking an active role in inquiring with TOs and other players and on facebook for feedback on the current meta, and any points adjustments that need to be made.

That combined with the yearly format of the GHB, if something is super underpriced or overpriced, you only have to endure it for maybe a year before it gets adjusted.

>>52474355
>makes me psyched for Dark-Elves Vampires and Slaanesh to be delayed a little bit more
Same here. But in b4 vampires are last and GW tries to make things right and throws them in the garbage can. I hope slaanesh and the dark elves are gonna have a nice aesthetic. While I like them bot, their old line of model is kinda getting old. Lets all hope for nice (but not OP) battletomes in the next year.

Don't get me wrong I like the Idea of Transports and stuff. But I switched from for 40k to AoS to avoid Formation-Cheese based powercreep and now its back


>>52474510
I dont think you can summon Terrogheists anymore, nor can you give named characters Artefacts and you only get 1 artefact per Army (or Formation)

>>52474547
It's not because Formations are costed and rarer.

>>52474547
>I dont think you can summon Terrogheists anymore, nor can you give named characters Artefacts and you only get 1 artefact per Army (or Formation)
Strange. There is a summon terrorgheist spell in my pdf for vampire counts on GW's website on page 27.

I'm confused for the artefacts. I thought it was one per hero, but only one trait per army for the general.

Is there any sort of compiled maps for the Nine Realms? I am (foolishly) trying to link them together so each Realm has a more completed look combining their maps and locations.

>>52474568
This. Simply for the fact that formations cost points, people have to take an objective look at whether to take them or use those points for more models. Some provide a lot of utility, some just little bonuses, and should be priced accordingly.

This alone makes them not as common or widely used as in 40k.

>>52474597
That Terrorgheist is questionable. The VC pdf came out before Flesh-eater-Courts were released and there is a ghoulking sitting on top. So Im assuming the new Terrorgheist Warscroll replaces the Old one. (There is also no point-cost in the GHB Vampire counts compendium, so only the Flesh-eater one can be bought in matched play)

Sorry

>>52474674
I just looked at the FEC tome and that is fucking sad. Cant summon him, so I cant take him without breaking my allegiance to soulblight and losing knights as battlelines. I didnt want to use the vargheists. Looks like I wont have the choice to field a unit of 6. Unless I go for a 1-2 units of bat swarms to protect from shooting.
>>52474547
>nor can you give named characters Artefacts and you only get 1 artefact per Army (or Formation)
And after a quick read, yes. Its one command trait for the general and ONE artefact per army for each warscroll battalion that you give to ONE hero in your army.

Soon tho.
Plastic Bloodknights.
Decent looking Batswarms.
Vampire Bitches.
Reasonably priced plastic Bloodknights
Maybe Mannfred/Neferata get the Soilblight Keyword
Also more Bloodknights.

When the Soulblight Battletome drops


Also you dont break your Fluff if you just drop 5 Bloodknights and add 3x 10 Skeletons/Zombies to your then perfectly viable list.
Or you Replace either Isabella (which isnt cool) or 5 bloodknights (add vargheists or Bats) to have a pool of 400 to summon the Fun* and interactive Mourngul.

Or just run this list with a 320 Summoning pool which is still nice.

Honestly though youve got Support and a hammer but no Anvil so youre playing a pretty all in List that way

>>52474867
I'm using the models for the dragon blade princes from the elves as bloodknights with the shields death pack. They look great. The official bloodknights models are stupid expensive and ugly IMO. It is a shame that the 2 major named vampires are keyworded as fucking deathlords instead of soulblights. I mean, WTF gw... just why?

I'm aware I'm playing all in with no chaff to tank some shots. I also simply like the fluff of vlad and isabella, as an ex WHFB player, which is why I want to play both of them. I think I'm gonna try out with the vargheists, the swarms and the summoning pool. Probably that one will feel better than the others.

>>52474754
Just ask your opponent if you can use the old warscroll with the new point value? It's just like the varghulf; thing was awesome in the old version and the FEC one sucks in comparison (in my opinion)

>>52475015
After some research, it seems that there's a large consensus of using both warscrolls and using the new point value. Screw this, I'll just carry the terrorgheist, the vargheists and the bats. It will give me the occasion of trying all of them.
The model of the terrorgheist is just too nice not to field.

A shame tomb kings were dumped. I would have picked them up instead of soulblight.

Are Demigryph knights and a gryphon general any good for a mixed Order army? I don't want to do pure Free Peoples.

>>52475422
As a man filled with insecurity, i went for colors that are close to the box's picture. But I would have gone for a spectral theme like this: http://www.beastsofwar.com/games-workshop-painting-tutorial/simple-effective-paint-scheme/

If I ever build skellies (which is bound to happen) I will go for that theme.

Your idea seems very cool, but rather daring. I dont have the painting skills to pull it off, but maybe you could!

>>52475449

Yeah, same one. And you might have a dynamic IP.

>>52475459
I was thinking about doing something like that for my Hexwraiths, where it'd be mostly ghostly like that, but as it got to the rider, it would slowly turn more solid, skeleton looking.

Thoughts?

>>52475435

Yup the Griffin general is great in any army and demigryphs are solid medium monster cavalry

>>52475519
Sounds great!! A great idea for the riders turning to solid. But the areas turning to solid from spectral would be quite hard to paint if you want to get a sharp feel of transition.

>>52475176
I'd say even if somebody runs pure Beastclaw the vanilla Destruction abilities are still superior, Then again, pure beastclaw sucks at scenarios and other than the Behemoths the rest of the faction is meh.

>>52475526
I absolutely love how this general got turned into a massive Death circlejerk, my rattlebony friends

>>52475604
It is refreshing. As chaos and order gets all the goodies, we rarely get to talk about our edgy love for undeads.

>>52475576
I'll see how it turns out on a practice model, if it's not a good look, I'll just do the horse ghostly and the rider solid.

>>52475674
>I'll just do the horse ghostly and the rider solid.
Now that you mention it, I think that would be the right way to go. It will obviously look good and create a cleaner focus on the horse and then the rider, instead of losing yourself in the details of both.

So, I'm running sort of a test Hinterlands campaign, and my friends and I were talking about an alteration of the injury table.

Specifically, one friend brought up a change so that a model can only be declared permanently dead if it was killed by a mortal wound, while another suggested only getting permanent dead if rolling a 1, and then rolling gain and getting another 1.

Any Hinterlands players have any weighing in on this? Because I kinda like both ideas, but I feel like the system is balanced well enough so that funking with something as intrinsic as the injury table will mess with it a bit.

I think they'll be selling them in teams, like Blood Bowl.

Might have rules for them, but no specific models.

>>52476455

Fucking christ. Dropped

>>52476455

So, AoS only had an unofficial system?

That's depressing.

>>52473291
Hm, even for 30-man blobs of Handgunners?

>>52476934
Yet.

They may do something more akin to mordheim in the future, which would be pretty awesome. But also they did a warhammer world event, pdf related, which was a simple fantasy kill-team for aos. Then some fans made hinterlands which has quite the following. I played it and it is pretty solid. Give it a shot.

But likely GW will do something for fantasy in the future like they just did with necromunda

>>52477000
I would say so, yes. The thing is, often boards have lots of terrain, and positioning within the unit matters, for things like hiding behind cover or even fitting within cover. Smaller trays provide more flexibility while keeping the convenience for movement.

You may get a big 10man tray and regret it when you are trying to move between buildings or fitting inside that building or forest piece.

Fair point. I think I'd still probably do a core of a 10-man tray but then just add to it with 5-mans. Hell, I'm even tempted to use Rank and File instead of staggered just for that crisp martial discipline.

I am trying to make a (mostly) Vampire themed list, with spirits and hexwraiths painted up as blood-drenched souls of their damned victims and skellies because why not I know i'd hang out with skellies if I was an immortal necromancer vampire.

Two Mortarches because I can afford them, and some reserve points for Morghasts. Is there any way I can make this better? I I want to at least use Nefarata or Manfred, I own two of the kits, but thought about downgrading one to a vampire lord on zombie dragon or a mounted vampire.

If they're making a hexshit game with specific models while simply releasing Necromunda 2.0 for existing armies, then I think GW grossly underestimate how popular Shadow Wars was going to be. Hell, that's why I came here hoping AoS had something similar.

How worth it is wasting 40 otherwise dead points on a Sylvaneth Wildwood? Especially as an army that has only a single wizard. It seems like a pretty useful piece of terrain even without being Treebeards, so long as you aren't playing Treebeards.

>>52477408
>What is this exactly?
Warhammer world does these little fun play scenarios or events. RoR was one of them and that was the rules packet the players got when they bought a ticket to the event.

It's not meant to be an official specialist game for AoS, but a fun way to play.

The hinterlands guys took it and enhanced it, which is cool.

>>52469244

If GW put out a Nighthaunts/Malignants battle tomb with unit support, I would probably spend way to much fucking money and have to sell some 40k shit.

The main reason I was taking the Blood Coven is because it looks decent at killing, but more so, being able to re-roll any one die during the game and winning ties on who gets the next turn. That seems like it would be a huge advantage? or am I looking too deep into this?

I will try out all of those in a list. Money isn't the issue I just don't have the models or free time to build any more undead right now.

It really depends on what theme you're going
You have the Ghoul and 2 squads of Wraiths to be the speartip
Neffy just behind to provide support and bubble and the Zombies to slowly march up the board to hold a centre obj

The Archai do what they do :^)
Assuming you drop the throne and pick up 2 VLs instead, you now have 140pts left, which really isn't much

I'd stick with your list w/ Zombies instead of skellingtons and just don't lose your 2 wizards doing silly crap
