And how did the Kunnin Rukk come up? Isn't that the Skaven list which was supposed to be played against the Seraphon one above?

Also it's quite interesting how highly /tg/ rates Kunnin Rukk. It's obviously great when it works but the Big Boss is not that hard to snipe out for most armies and the Arrer Boyz crumble under focused attacks.

As far as I know it was "meta" in last autumn, since then most competetive Destruction armies are Beastclaw + Moonclan mixed lists (which are almost all the same).

its not a squardon. its just a battalion of bloodthirsters.

/aosg/ i need help.

My wife has approved a release of funds for me to start a new army, after I finish my 40k orks and space wolves.

I'm going to dip my toe into sigmar, but want some advice.

Is order a good choice? I always wanted a dwarf army in fantasy so the new sky duardin look interesting, but so do stormcast and sylvaneth. I could also swing toward seraphons, and possibly FEC from death

There are too many choices, which faction is the most fun, yet unlike space marines or orks in gameplay?

Choose the faction that appeals to you the most in aesthetics and even fluff. The meta in this game will be changing yearly, so don't get caught up with what's 'good' on the table. As you know, most of warhammer is the hobby, make sure it's a hobby you're enthusiastic about

Well all the factions i listed i like. I did think of making a g1 dinobot themed seraphon army. Painting a carnosaur as grimlock, a stegadon as slag, a terradon a swoop, coverting a bastiladon to be snarl, and coverting a engine of the gods to be long necked and tailed for sludge
>>
So how is the Seraphon progressing story wise ATM?

Like how Ariaelle and the Realm of Life went from nearly being consumed by nurgle and being a seed pod, and then they had the whole story arc of her coming back and so forth.

Any such story arc for the Seraphon?

Yeah, Shyish is basically Hades. Everything that isn't taken by one of the other gods washes up in the Realm of Death for Nagash.

Also, this is why Stormcast lose memories etc every time they're killed. Nagash takes a little bit of them before Sigmar resurrects them.

He costs the same. He takes up less space and is easier to hide from hero sniping if he is on foot. Also the best Warboss model is on foot.

He's harder to snipe. Remember, they cannot join units. Sometimes, being more mobile doesn't pay off being easier to hit.

Most of the people at my club are playing super defensive armies like Deathrattle or Nurgle. I'm not blameless either with my Sylvaneth so I was thinking of an aggressive, offensive minded force like this:
Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals
Lord-Celestant On Dracoth (220)
- General
- Tempestos Hammer & Thundershield
- Trait: Shielded by Faith - Stormcast Eternals
- Artefact: Obsidian Amulet
- Dracoth Trait: Drake-kin
Lord-Castellant (100)
- Mystic Light: Lantern of the Tempest
Lord-Relictor (80)
- Artefact: Mirrorshield
- Prayer: Lightning Chariot
5 x Liberators (100)
- Warblade & Shield
- 1x Grandblades
5 x Liberators (100)
- Warblade & Shield
- 1x Grandblades
5 x Liberators (100)
- Warblade & Shield
- 1x Grandblades
5 x Paladin Protectors (200)
- 2x Starsoul Mace
5 x Paladin Protectors (200)
- 2x Starsoul Mace
10 x Paladin Protectors (400)
- 4x Starsoul Mace
9 x Prosecutors with Celestial Hammer & Sigmarite Shield (300)
- 3x Grandblade
Celestial Vindicators Warrior Chamber (80)
Hammerstrike Force (120)
Total: 2000/2000
I know that all the artefacts and the like are defensive but I need some way to protect my buffing pieces/paladin delivery system.
>>
>>52495792
It's somewhat lacking in synergies, you are trying to do too many things well while being at best mediocre in everything and most of your units would easily crumble under pressure.

Orruk Warbosses are primarily support models, you take them because their command ability and their banner affects everything with the Orruk keyword in range. Your list has two Orruk units, and one of them is basically useless. If you want to use him as your commander (and I assume you would, as if you want to beat face, a Megaboss does it way better for the same price), Massive Choppa is the worst possible loadout. WAAAGH Banner gives rerolls to Orruks in the combat phase on 1s to wound, while Shield and Choppa gives you a reroll on your saves, which could be a lifesaver.

Moonclan Shamans are great, you could even take two of them.

Boarboys are decent, though I'd take them with Choppas instead of spears.

Orruks are just bad unless you take 20+ of them, and even then they are quite meh as they die in droves. Savages are superior for the same price, especially as MSU battleline chaff.

Moonclan Grots are one of the best Destruction battleline choices - if you take them with shields and add a Fanatic. As bowmen they are just plain rubbish. Swap them to Gitmobs if you want ranged Goblins, they are quite good at bigger units.

Never thought of filling the last 20 points with squig herders, nice.

Spear Chukkas are great, but I think they'd be better at higher point costs. Your current list lacks threats and effective tarpits, so they could be taken out quite easily. You'd get a better mileage out of some kind of Behemoth or more troops at this point level.

Swap your hammer-Prosecutors for spear-Prosecutors, swap one Liberators for bow-Judicators, change Relictor prayer to Bless Weapon (if the Shockbolt Bow triggers, it's beautiful).
I'm partial to Celestant on foot's command ability over Dracoth and hammer-Liberators over swords, but that's just me.
>>
>>52495005
Shit is gonna be cancerous as hell, AoS isn't perfect but it's in a better state than typical gw games, most armies can handle most other armies

Hopefully the ships are expensive in pts, like 400-500 at the lowest. if you're a melee focused force and have to fight more two of two of those fucks you'll have no chance

real issue is how cheap their battleline troops could be, people will just take the minimum and try to spam airships

Sort of. supposedly the bigger ships have a 5++ versus mortal wounds, they can transport units somehow, shit can just jump out and charge, the blimps auto run 6 inches, ships can have artifacts

There is no way melee attacks won't have at least a -1 hit modifier assuming they can hit airships at all. OR the ships add 2+ to their save versus non-flying like Discs do so most melee shit will be useless

They aren't, they're just not as good as Hexwraiths and they do the same job for only a little more points.

>>52498017
Because they are effectively worse Hexwraiths in all respects - even though they can regen due to banner it's not compare able since HWs can fly and have ignore rend

What BKs have over HWs are synergy with Van Damsel spell and a lot of Tomb King buffs to skeletons

Because cavalry with no rend will bounce off most units with decent armor saves and even on a charge black knights have 1 attack that only hits on at 4+/3+/-/2 which isn't phenomenal for how expensive they are.

Blood knights on the other hand are holla-holla git dolla level pimps.

Is it viable to go full Bonesplittaz for competitive play?

what are you using for Batswarms tho? The Lord of the Rings Giant Bats are nice if you have to stick to Citadel.

Playing full soulblight is tricky tho as you effectively are cucking yourself out of the use of Skeletons and Bat swarms really arent that great unless you play against a full ranged Army like some Stormcast/Wanderers Lists.

If you really want to stick to Soulblight atleast save some summoning points, preferably with the sword that can guarantee a free of cost summon (summoning doesnt break alligiance)

Morghasts are incredibly Spooky as the double weapon guys can charge 3d6 and can be summoned 9" infront of enemies (your average charge is 10,5") while the Glaives Deal with Heavy armor while having Mortal wound blocking armour themselves.

Zombiedragons/Terrorgheists are an option i you can spare the 320 points (dont take the Flesh-eater or Vampirecounts PDF ones but rather the ones from the Death-Warscroll-book that can ACTUALLY be summoned)

Spirit Hosts are the same cost as Bats and are summoned easily and dish out a good amount of Mortal Wounds (with 1 model less)

Grave Guard are Nice Elite Skeletons

I understand to point is to have minimal Models to paint but 20 Skeletons are done very quickly and efficient

I will not hear the zombie used as a punchline.

With very little effort, you can have zombies at 1"/2/2+/3+/-/1. That's just by supporting them with one other cheap unit and a hero. Now remember zombies are only 6ppm. Literally the only thing that's bad about them is their lack of rend, but we can't expect them to do everything.
>>
>>52498139
>So they're not BAD they're just not as good as other options?
Nope they are BAD because Death is bad army.
>>
>>52498427
Zombies are there for a cheap 3 batteline tax and to hold a center objective/area denial with support from a Necromancer
Same in TW:W - just a very effective screen
>>
>>52498139
Thats the thing tho, they are only battleline if you go full skellies. but if you go full skellies you could only run skeletons which are objectively the best Death battleline there is
>>
>>52498422
Hey man i was just helping that anon out
My list, when i finish my Necrons, is this

>Leader
Arkhan The Black Mortarch of Sacrament - 340
Necromancer - 120

>Battleline
10x Zombies - 60
10x Zombies - 60
10x Zombies - 60

>Behemoth
Mourngul - 400

>Other
2x Morghast Archai - 240
5x Hexwraiths - 160
5x Hexwraiths - 160
Summoning Points - 400
--2000 points

The fact is that almost all of DEATH right now is weaker than the rest due to lack of support and good synergy
>>
>>52498472

Did you not read the post? I just explained how easily they can be made into an actual threat.

Again: 1"/2/2+/3+/-/1 for 6ppm. Also if you give that supporting corpse cart a lodestone, you can suppress magic around them too. They're not just a screen, they genuinely function well as an anchor to build the army around.

>>
>>52498621

I WILL TEACH YOU THE BLACK ARTS, ANON.

First, you take a big ol' pile of zambambo. I play at 1k, so I usually take two units of 20, then use that special rule that lets them merge into one brick.

So you're already up at 1"/1/3+/3+/-/1.

Then you park a lodestone-bearing corpse cart right behind them. Now up to 1"/1/2+/3+/-/1.

Then you get a Necromancer to babysit them, and toss Vanhel's Danse Macabre on them.

Bam, there's your 1"/2/2+/3+/-/1 ball of hate.
>>
>>52498698
Nice.

If I use that sort of thing as the core of my army, what's good to go with them?
>>
>>52498698
youre keeping the Musicians and the Standard beares if they merge. if you take 4x 10 and make them Merge you can restore 4d6 zombies each herophase (unless there is a rule I havent read that prevents that, not sure if the rule of one covers that)
>>
>>52498727

Something fast and strong. I'm a big fan of Blood Knights. They get the charge off on anything, they're at least going to put a big fucking dent in it.

So help me God I tried to get away with it too, but judges slapped me down. Because think about it. 4d6 is potentially 24 dudes back PER TURN. That's heinous. Even stuff meant to be anti-horde can't put away 24 guys per turn.

Really, the issue isn't attacking the ships. They are going to be meaty as fuck and take forever to bring down, but the real pain in the ass will be the fact that you can't do shit to the models riding on the deck unless you're a behemoth.

Getting within 1-2'' of the base of the airship will probably be sufficient to attack it unless GW really screws the pooch. Getting the roughly 6 or so inches to reach a base sitting on the deck of the airship? That'll be fucking infuriating.

Wrong. They lose Behemoth AND gain Battleline role if taken in a BCR army according to GHB pg. 137. It works this way in the Azyr app and GW's customer support has also confirmed this.

It wouldn't be a good list though, "vanilla" BCR already struggles with low model count in scenarios, the only use would be frustrating your friends in casual games.

Makes a really good point. I've not played these games in ages and I quite like how smooth Sigmar's rules are. The current rules for 40k are messy and all over the place. I'm quietly hoping that for 8th edition they do a lot of smoothing out for them.

40k is certainly the more popular game though. Army mans and guns and ammo all over the place. I do like the charm of Warhammer fantasy and it still lingers on here.

Don't worry, unlike you I don't need that kind of thing since, you know, I'm not a butthurt crybaby who's been... how many times has it been that you've whined about TGA in these months? Five, six times? I recall quite a few times where you went and whined here.

I see the battleline but where do they drop behemoth?
>>
>>52501966

yeah guns are cool but fantasy stuff with actual heroism is a nice palate cleanser from all the grim dark of 40k
>>
>>52501925
>>52501939
>>52501947
>>52501966

Ok cool that's good to hear. What armies would I want to look into for starting? In 40k I like Tyrannids the most (I love the concept of swarming with armies) and then maybe certain Daemons and maybe Dark Eldar (lore wise)

What are some cool armies in AoS? I saw some really cool skeletons that were like The Revenants or something. I also kinda like Skaven and the lizard people but aren't there like.

And lastly, the whole Age of Sigmar kinda confuses me. Did it release a new set of models? Are all the old armies still playable?
>>
>>52502052
It says they become Battleline in a BCR army, and not Battleline, Behemoth. People only noticed it after Azyr came out and GW confirmed it.
>>
>>52502020
whatever man, the mods over there are a bunch of snowflakes who cant take a joke about the visual similarities between the aesthetics of SC and the Nazi SS because the guy who launched the site is a total SC GW cock sucker.

>>
>>52502076
All old armies are playable, but they don't sell Tomb Kings or Bretonnians anymore.

Age of Sigmar is a sequel to Fantasy, really, following the End Times.

There's a bunch of carry over characters as gods, and refluffed old armies.

There have been some new factions unique to AoS, like Ironjawz, Tzeentch Arcanites and Stormcast Eternals, etc.

So Skaven, Seraphon (lizards) or Skeletons (I think?), what do you like about each faction?
>>
>>52502140
>who cant take a joke about the visual similarities between the aesthetics of SC and the Nazi SS
Oh it's you. Ok no wonder you were banned, you know, because you are a fucking idiot. It's a very poor forced meme that didn't catch on because nobody saw merit in it.

You are not some unique genius that sees something everyone else does not, you are the idiot in the group.

Sorry bro.
>>
>>52502109

Well at least bringing 7 thundertusks/stonehorns is a good criteria on who to ban from the store.
>>
>>52502140
I don't see any similarities and I mostly post on /pol/. Skaven have more Nazi-esque aesthetics and mentality. Gas-gas the man-things!
>>
>>52502140
>cant take a joke about the visual similarities between the aesthetics of SC and the Nazi SS
Not defending the faggots at TGA, but that joke honestly sucks and was never funny. I'm right leaning as fuck and I'm not saying this as an SJW, I'm just tired of politics and "EVERYTHING I DONT LIKE IS NAZIS" being forced into everything in life because of this recent election, so I don't want to see that shit even in muh plastic dudes tabletop game.

I don't know, maybe the whole Rat kingdom thing reminds me of the Tyrranids in how they seem to overrun but that also could be me conjecturing what they're about because I have no clue how they play, or how any race plays for the matter haha.

I download the rules and I've been reading the Warhammer and 40k wiki's to familiarize myself and try to find a starter set.

I like all non-humans a little more, Space Marines are awesome and sweet but probably close to my least favorite group because I like the other races so much more. Seraphon just look cool and this
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Start-Collecting-Seraphon look fucking awesome. Actually this was the set that made me consider Warhammer over 40k I think.

I really just like variety. One major consideration on what game I get into is which has the most armies and the biggest diversity in armies.
>>
>>52502268
No, fuck you. I'm not a member of TGA, but I am pretty sure they are better off without you. It's sad we can't get rid of you.
>>
>>52502216
The most you can take is 6 and it would be a very shitty list with no way to contest a lot of objectives and block charges to thr Behemoths.

>>52502349
This.

It seems intimidating and scary, but all things die in AoS. It's a list that can be easily countered and played around. At the LVO I faced something sortof similar. I dominated on objectives because he could only beat on my units while everything else maintained board control. He did nearly table me, but the great thing about this game is being tabled does not necessarily mean you lose.
>>
>>52502216
>Guy brings 7 thundertusks
>Local Bonesplittaz player's eyes light up
>>
>>52502421
Haha, bonesplitters would be the perfect counter to beastclaw. Those guys were pretty much entirely tooled around taking out monster lists. A bonesplitter player would have a hayday using that anti-monster rule that exists on just about every fucking one of his warscrolls.
>>
>>52502324
The good thing in AoS is that you aren't forced to play a single faction. Everything is divided into four great alliances, Order, Chaos, Destruction and Death. You can play without problem units from different factions if they are from the same alliances. Like for example you can mix Skaven and demons or Seraphon and Stormcast.

The con is that usually synergies rely on the same faction, so while you can play both ghoul and skeletons with Death their special rules don't support each others much.
>>
>>52502460
That's what happens every day without fail in my store. The local grognard uses his Beastclaw because the internet says they're broken and then the Bonesplittaz player always calls next game and the grognard get's flustered. It's the circle of life and I love how AoS is much more balanced than WHFB, which was dominated by 3 faggots who played VC, HE and Ogres.

Yep. It's really cool for looking into something you may be interested in or wonder how it will be to face.

I also recommend the AoS app. You don't need the army builder component, but the free part allows you to easily view all the free warscrolls on your phone

You can download an app as well that will tell you all the stats for all the models. New GW seems pretty nice...so far.
>>
>>52501894
Two options:

>Play what you like
Pick which of the two settings you like best and dive in and forget about the rules, its a hobby

>Play the game whos playstyle appeals to you most
AoS is a smoother, more streamlined game compared to 40k. 40k is at a stage in its lifespan where there are so many rulebooks you have to go through to build a list that can counter anything its almost not wortth playing anytthing other than eldar.
Best thing you can do is try out both of them and see which you like better.

The alternative is 30k, which is 40k without the bloat and is primarily space marines. Its a different setting with a different style to 40k.

I have 40k on the bench atm and just play sigmar and 30k. Even then sigmar plays so smoothly its usually more fun for me to just bring my lizards than it is my marines.

Square bases might make moving a lot of models at once easier. AOS suggests model-to-model measuring, so bases don't matter then..

However, tournaments like b2b, so they might prefer a standardized base.

Yup. If you are playing Freeguild, you should literally never run a Warrior Priest. They've been updated to only be able to give Prayers to other Devoted units. Luthor and Volkmar are both flat-out nuts compared to Warrior Priests, especially for only 20 extra points.

>Luthor
Becomes a Grand Master once per game, kinda meh since Soulfire is trash but Shield of Faith and Unbending Righteousness are still nice.

>Volkmar
What the actual motherfuck. 6 attacks, can unbind twice, heals a wound flat every Hero phase and you if you take a battalion, give him a Phoenix Stone to double it. Badass fucking Prayers, too. Who wants rerolling to hit on a Handgunner blob? Still can give the same 6++ save, and Holy Fervor is amazing on Demigryphs who certainly won't say no to +1 on their charge as well as their hit rolls.

Devoted of Sigmar have 0 synergy with the rest of the Freeguild line now, while those two are fucking superstars, especially Volkmar. Ironweld's still good, though the Empire Cannon is still flat-out better than the Ironweld equivalent. Though if you don't want your Master Engineer on a horse, you can take the Gunsmith for the same cost who is still a [Human Engineer] to proc the reroll on the Empire Cannon.

To be fair, we aren't nearly as fucked as aelves are. We're at least a two-dimensional army with a fantastic cavalry unit, a fantastic gunline, some other B+ cavalry options, a hilariously cheesy special warpriest along with some other characters like Valken that are great latent memes. Between the inherent synergy of our gunlines and the things that protect it and the strength of Demigrpyhs, we've got two dimensions to our outdated and unsupported asses.

Hell, even the Bone Patrol -- no offense guys -- have literally one thing going for them. Zombies as well. I'd say Freeguild is about as healthy as people that mix Skeleton Spam and Hexwraiths.
