Because they are an exaggerated "parody" of fantasy dwarves, up to eleven.
Whfb dwarves were an exaggerated "parody" of lotr ones. Wow dwarves are an exaggerated "parody" of Whfb ones. these look like an exaggerated "parody" of Wow dwarves.

We have 40k for that. This sucks.

>>52639911

This.

I get the aos=wow meme is a thing, but this is a stretch.

Also, the more I see them, the less Stormcast bother me and the more I read about them, the less they seem like Astartes

>>52640258
Now you're getting it. Stormcasts=space marines is a meme. That's all it is.

>>52640258
>>52640285
Stormcast are actually incredibly similar to space marines. To deny that is to be as delusional as any asshurt Fantashit.

>>52639127
Hey, looks like Squats are back, even if they did get lost in the wron

>>52640316
They are only similar in very superficial ways, mainly being supersoldiers that fight against chaos and serving a god.

Basically if you are being superficial enought to consider Stormcast the same as space marines then you are also considering all kind of short races the same. Hobbits and Dwarfs have less differences than Stormcast and Space Marines.

>>52640219
>>52640003
>>52639964

Is not the similarity, is the fact that each iteration is more "dwarvish" in the sense that has to have more plate, more steam, and more guns up to have dwarves with gatlings.

Is a "Flanderization". I hope is more clear sorry.

>>52640003
They actually resemble the WoW goblins, now that I think of it

>>52639911
This is precisely one of the main problems I have with a lot of the art style in AoS. Everything's a caricature of a caricature of a caricature. Just too many iterations of trying to make the outlandish features of a race even more so as if it's a competition with fantasy predecessors.

>>52640389
>supersoldiers that fight against chaos and serving a god
That's the essence of space marines in a nutshell. Some minor details that only nerds care about may differ.

>>52640405
>>52640426

Yes I meant that, sorry if it was unclear. The issue I have is that without "straight" characters, the exaggerations fall flat. Even 40k has IG.

>>52640389
>They are only similar in very superficial ways, mainly being supersoldiers that fight against chaos and serving a god.

Super soldiers created from human warriors who have proven themselves worthy and are elevated to a semi-divine state, giving up their humanity to wage endless battle amongst realms far vaster than they could imagine as mere men.
These angelic warriors are armed and armoured with some of the finest equipment their god-monarch can provide and are utterly loyal to the cause.
They typically strike from the skies and though nearly always outnumbered they are never outmatched.

>>52639554
I'm intrigued by it. It doesn't take too many units, and the buffs only apply to the heroes so you can fill your points with other units. You're taking a bloodsecrator and battle line anyway, as long as you're bringing priests it's pretty good.
Priests aren't that killy in combat anyway, so it's not a problem to hold them back with the banner guy.
It looks good on paper at least

False equivalence: the post

>>52640559
No, super soldier covers a bigger area that.
Super soldiers need not be created from humans, let alone worthy ones. They don't need to bear any divine connotations. They don't need to be given the best equipment or be loyal to a fault. They don't need to deep strike and be out-manned.
Stormcast and Space Marines are almost exactly the same narritively.

>>52640645
I was wrong on every single point but I refuse to admit it: the post

>>52640645
You mean like the false equivalences linking stormcast eternals to space marines? Yes I agree.

That's a really cool idea anon. l do love the idea of RPG's built solidly with a specific idea in mind, but I just generally have a bit of a boner for massive amounts of possible approaches in RPG's, hence the 8 different races from all alliances.

>>52640679

I am not him fagits. Anyway he alrady answered.
You cannot compare the sailors and say they cluster together with Space Marines and Sigmarnes. Sophisms excluded, you know very well that th latter two are copies.

If you LIKE it, more power to you but you cannot create a definition so generic, so generic that anything goes. Is disingenuous.
The alternative is that you are two retards, thing that is, indeed, possible.

>>52640477
Every faction has its 'baseline' stuff, it's not just IG.

None of the stuff in AoS has that. Every unit is the super special skyguard fiendslayer slaughterer equipped with darkshard bloodcracker glaives made of dracometal hyperingots and stargold skullarmour. It's gotten so ridiculous now that I don't even read the names of weapons or abilities anymore, I just look at the numbers. There's no frame of reference for the more outlandish and magical stuff because EVERYTHING is like this.

I mean, look at Warmahordes. I consider that game one of the worst sinners when it comes to giant shoulderpads syndrome. They have some of the most ridiculous armour/weapon/etc designs ever. But they still have their baseline riflemen and whatever, the presence of whom makes the fantastical more fantastical.

I was just hoping GW would stop this trend of everything having to be a parody of an exaggeration of a parody. There is a point where you stop being distinct and start being retarded.

>>52640747
You're forgetting that you are retarded and so your opinions are moot.
If you can't see that Stormcast are blatant copies of Space Marines you either don't know them very well and so shouldn't speak on this subject or have brain problems.

>you cannot create a definition so generic, so generic that anything goes. Is disingenuous.

They're fucking Space Marines, deal with it.

I can't believe there are people who in all seriousness state that stormcasts are not supposed to be space marines. They've got to be trolling. Even GW emphasised this by replacing the statue.

>>52641433
It's hardly anything. The problem is that there will be similarities between even the most different of things. Some people called Oldcrons the Metal Tyranids for one.

In fact, it might as well be argued that the Sigmarines are Necrons.
>Regenerating metal soldiers
>Have anti-Chaos/Warp stuff
>People taken by a powerful entity & put into a metal body
>Gradually more emotionless, if not already emotionless

>>52641486
There are similarities but not to the extent that Space Marines and Stormcast share.

>>Regenerating metal soldiers

Stormcast aren't metal, they wear armour,.

>>Have anti-Chaos/Warp stuff

Stormcast are actually enhanced by magic.

>>People taken by a powerful entity & put into a metal body

Stormcast don't have metal bodies. They also had to prove their worth to be reforged, unlike the Necrons were people were forcibly converted.

>>Gradually more emotionless, if not already emotionless

This was a brief period of Necron history at the start of 5e and hasn't been part of their fluff before or since.

You also completely ignore the role of Necrons in setting as compared to Stormcast. Necrons are a menace rather than heroic figures. Thematically the Necrons and Stormcast are almost entirely different, not to mention aesthetically.

>>52641146
I do and I like heavily armored Orks who are not Borecast Eternals.

>magic
The Tomb Squats had magic too.
>They also had to prove their worth to be reforged, unlike the Necrons were people were forcibly converted.
Very unlike the children taken to become space marines. In fact, Stormcasts might have some non-humans there. The Necrons got Pariahs.
>This was a brief period of Necron history at the start of 5e and hasn't been part of their fluff before or since
The guy said oldcrons.

Thematically, the space marines are pretty grey. You've got the marines malevolent and lots of grimdark.

>>52642228
>So do many.

But unlike Necrons who are made of metal.

>Very unlike the children taken to become space marines.

Not at all. The children who become space marines have proven themselves through combat already.

>In fact, Stormcasts might have some non-humans there.

They don't.

>The guy said oldcrons.

They didn't grow more emotionless over time.

>Thematically, the space marines are pretty grey. You've got the marines malevolent and lots of grimdark.

Stormcast are just as grey. Knight's Excelsior and lots of grimdark.

>>52640590

I mean their fluff is entirely different.

Space marines get it from genetic engineering and rigorous training. Stormcasts get it because they've ascended to demigodhood.

Yes, they're pretty much the same in the demigod category, but they're different.

Also, Stormcasts apparently get PTSD, can get visions of their past lives before they were reforged, and every time they get reforged after dying they become more and more autonomous.

Astartes are just overzealous warriors.

>>52642463
>but they're different.

Not any thematic level.
They get magic put them that makes them buff.

>Also, Stormcasts apparently get PTSD, can get visions of their past lives before they were reforged, and every time they get reforged after dying they become more and more autonomous.

All done by Space Marines before Stormcast.

>>52642501

I had no idea Astartes could come back to life after dying. I also had no idea that when they died, they become lightning that flies back to Maccrage to be turned alive again by god powers of Spiritual Liege.

Has anyone here heard of Dark Age of Sigmar? It looks really cool.

See this is just set dressing. Irrelevant. If I created a game with a faction called the Fireforged Immortals who suspiciously looked and acted a lot like the Stomcast Eternals but replaced lightning with fire you should still be able to see the similarities.

Does it really matter? Back when WHFB was more active, people complained how similar Chaos warriors were to space marines. They're big, heavily armored, increadibly zealous warriors. Sure it's a fun archtype, but there's plenty of settings which have other basically interchangeable "big serious guys in lots of armor".

So my LGS owner got my to cave in to buy Skinks and Saurs for AoS, even though I don't own a single book, since I wanna play Lizardmen in BloodBowl and don't care for Orcs, Dwarves or Hummies. So I was wondering, what do I need to actually get a functioning AoS Lizzzzzards army running besides the 20 Saurus and 20 Skinks? Also do the AoS Saurus's still tower over Skinks? Is it like 40k where almost 300 dollars later I still can't play with my army because my LGS does 1k+ point games? My experience with them comes from BB2.
Also heres an Easter Lizzzzzard I found.

New Moonclan units when?

Guys, come on.

Are we really trying to argue that Stormcast aren't supposed to be Fantasy Marines for the Marine audience? It is extremely blatant.

They have even chapters for fucks' sake. They're not called chapters, but that's pretty much what they are in the context of the setting and game. No, they are not the EXACT same concept, but they are the same overall concept, and they are clearly designed to be the Space Marines of AoS.

>>52642916
They are designed to be similar. No-one is refuting that.

Unfortunately, hyperbole is abused, and people say that Stormcast are 100% Space Marines, with no nuance or definition given. This mindset has the potential to hurt the image of the game, either directly through turning off possible new players who don't like Space Marines, or indirectly through giving new players an incorrect vision of what the Stormcast are.

>>52640760
Not "everyone" is an over-the-top magical archetype. Yes, the new factions fit into that category, but if you don't like that, there are plenty of more traditional fantasy races to play as. Freeguild don't have fancy minerals or super-magic or powerful bodies, they're just humans wielding steel weapons. Skaven are still shit-rats, Beastmen still engage in raids, ambushes and small invasions, and the regular Chaos Warriors still exist. The down-to-earth stuff is still there. It just hasn't been given centre stage.

>>52639389
More like Mordheim dwarfs, just remove backpacks and swap the heads and replace with third party dwarf heads, and you got something going!

>>52642873
Download the books from the links at the top of the thread.

Buy the Start Collecting! box if you like the models, because they're a great deal and will give you a good Leader to use for your forces.

Maybe that and a big monster you like will get you about 1k-ish points. That or another collecting kit. The monster it comes with can be made as either one of two leaders, or a regular monster.

>>52642873

Tbh its quite clear AoS is going for a WoW anything goes setting mixed with mtg planes.
What it gets right so far is its keeping the aesthetic serious unlike what happened to WoW with goblins and gnomes being real world pop culture references and ruining the setting.

Never got into it after they gutted the fluff for my Ogre Kingdoms and made them way more boring to me

>>52644170

The former - the clouds they 'mine' in are apparently quite corrosive, so they cover up all of their bodies with specialized protection gear. And since they're dwarves, that means stylized beard helmets of course.

>All the faggots in this thread saying "Dwarves"

So, when using the Vampire Lord's Command Ability ("Models in that unit make one extra attack with each of their melee weapons until your next hero phase") in conjunction with the Necromancer's spell ("...pick a Skeleton, Mordant, or Zombie unit within 18"; that unit can pile in and attack twice in your combat phase.), does that mean that, say, a unit of Skeleton Warriors attacks twice with the Vampire Lord's command ability, and then twice again with the Necromancer's spell?

Yes. If we're talking about Skeleton Warriors, though, we can take it further. Take 30 Skeleton Warriors with spears. If they're all in range (hence the spears), then we get 3 attacks each base, which increases to 4 each from the Vampire, then we double that from the Necromancer (if the Danse goes off). Additionally, if the Vampire or Necromancer is within 10" of the Skellies, they get +1 to hit, making their profile 4+ to hit, 4+ to wound, no rend, 1 damage. Pretty basic, but if you get them all in range, that's a potential 240 attacks in total. You probably won't get that, as RAW the skeletons have to wait for someone else to attack before they can attack again, and they've only got 6+ saves (5+ versus no rend). At least, that's how I interpret that.

tl;dr your enemies have entered the BONE ZONE.

>>52645149
Wait, fuck.

>RAW the skeletons have to wait for someone else to attack before they can attack again
means you make your first 4 attacks each as described on their weapon profile. VDM means you can make those attacks twice.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

You can choose to add before multiplying, so it's more 16 attacks.

Also on the Exalted Deathbringer the artifact that gives +1 damage is statistically the same as the mark of the destroyer, except it evade any arguments about adding before multiplying and don't have the risk to kill your model.

Aelf should get their own Alliance and Death fucks off back to Order

>>52650122
They can be very shooty, especially with the newer units. I use Judicators w/ bows, use Lord Relictor's Bless Weapon prayer and Lord Celestant's +1 to Hit and on 5 and 6, generate more attacks, which means Judicator Prime with Shockbolt Bow can do 2D6 if luck is on your side.

>Because they're the foundation of the setting, the entire thing it's built around. It's like playing 40k if you absolutely fucking hate Space Marines. What's the point? You'll just end up angry because they're fucking everywhere.

Not the same guy, but have you considered that this is pretty terrible setting design for a wargame?

Making one faction out of many not only the 'main' faction that the narrative revolves around, but really the only faction that matters in the greater scheme of things, is a pretty poor design choice. Note that literally only GW still does this. Even DZC/DFC, though telling its story from the POV of the UCM, makes it clear that the UCM aren't the only dudes that matter, and there's more important things going on than their grudgematch against the Scourge.

This whole thing is made particularly grating when the main character faction is a bunch of faceless dudes with mostly the same personality between them, and their main foes are also a bunch of guys in face-obscuring armor with roughly the same amount of character.

The helmets that he was complaining about are 90% the fucking same.

>>52650655
They don't get by on anything in AoS, they don't exist.

The only reason we have 'Free People' as playable armies in AoS is so GW can keep selling old WHFB miniatures. They're not really part of the setting, they're just a background thing there to make a little money on the side and make a token attempt at placating people that want grit and realism in their fantasy.

When GW has more armies out for AoS it'll probably stop selling old Empire stuff altogether.

>>52650709

>>52650770
>order isnt the only faction in AoS

Every faction is going full over the top, Anon. I mean lets look at the Ironjawz. The biggest, toughest bastards around.

That's them. Bigger, tougher and stronger than any other Orruk ever. Orcs taken to extremes. And you can bet the releases will get more OTT as time goes on.

Archaon's boys are even crazier, with ridiculous amounts of detail and that stupid-huge dragon horse thing of his.

The only ones who aren't over the top modelwise are the ones with legacy armies, and even then, their fluff tends to be extremely over the top. Like the FEC who think they're holy knights and have titles like Lord fucking Liverbelch.

>>52640477
City of Secrets totally brought me around on this. was a great way to see from ground up

>>52643080
It isn't centre stage because they want to point out what makes their setting different, much in the same way warmahordes always pushes up beasts/jacks/casters et al and often excludes rank and file goons. because to them, they hold down the aesthetic they are pushing. Not unlike what sigmar has been doing for a year or so

Frankly even free people's are going more extreme as stuff that was rare or special in the Empire list now make up the bulk of the free guilds fighting power in the fluff.

Stuff like demigryph Knights being the standard melee cavalry or hurricanums and rockets being common artillery.

>>52651036

All bets are off now. Chaos won, there are no gates keeping it at bay and subduing its influence. The realms of chaos blurr freely into realspace.

Everyone is scaled up dramatically in power and importance because the threat is infinitely larger than it ever was in Fantasy.

>inb4 'but muh dirt farmers fighting chaos legions and winning was muh masturbation fantasy

>>52651197
Fags who say that shit are role play faggots who insist on playing rat catchers because "muh common man" and never actually played the game or read too far into the fluff


Also, I really hope we get some new free guild shit to make them more like fantasy imperial guard since that's what they are in the fluff. Or at least some sort of "normal" human army, like the Azyr guard or Lantic remnants or something. I love The thought of massive armies of Normal human soldiers with tons of magic artillery and vehicles and experimental shit going up against the elite armies of the setting and drowning them in sheer numbers and dakka.

>Free people are the entire subject of the latest big AoS release in Hammerhal

Ah, yes, Hammerhal. The setting of a game where our main heroes are a Stormcast, a pair of elves, and a steampunk dwarf.

Yes this is truly a game about the humans of Hammerhal.

Neat, I got a reply from GW on the use of the Night Goblin Big Boss from Battle for Skull Pass and whether it can use Skarsnik rules or not since it has a squig on it

>>52651197
>Fags who say shit like this probably never even played Fantasy, much less Empire.
Who's talking about the Empire? "Dirt farmers who consistently tear Chaos a new one" clearly refers to Kislev.

>>52651342
Our main heroes are whatever special character models you happen to own.

Even the battletomes will tell you a the timeline of events since WHFB End Times. You would know that this

>Also, aren't the Humans in somekind of distress, because they are pushed back by the evil forces of chaos?

Is wrong.

>>52651582
If I pull that squig off will he die?

I like night goblins but the idea of painting literally hundreds of them is a little bit off putting, is there any way to make them work with a smaller model count?

>>52651289

I want regular humans to get a new army and stuff, but those wanting it to be Empire 2.0 are just out of their minds. AoS is more like 40k in terms of scale of conflict, overwrought superweapons and magic being used.


Them being Fantasy Imperial Guard would fit really well. 40k fans make fun of the Guard, but they are extremely well equipped given their usual circumstances.

Any ideas for cheap-ish skellies? I'm pondering starting bone zone but I don't want to buy tons of the fuckers at GW prices, even factoring online discounts. I'll probably get a couple boxes though, and use the extra bits to help them match better. But are there good low-cost skeletons that are the same scale as GWs?

>>52651960
According to the season of war fluff, they use something called realmstone which seems like a much safer form of warp stone. They used it to build massed batteries of cannons and luminarks and other magical artillery. I'm hoping they expand in this and give them new shit too, since right now they're just refluffing old empire and dwarf machines to be more up to par with the setting. Instead of 8 steam tanks spread hroughout an entire empire, we probably have battles where hundreds of them rumble forth in massive imperial guard style tank charges. I'd like to see something like luminarks but for the other winds of magic, or updated steam tanks and magical cannons

I agree, it's fantastic and the night goblins have aged fantasticly

Would i be called lazy if i just painted my Nighthaunt units as they're portrayed in TW?

As a noobie that's about to buy their first SC box, i'm utterly torn between Seraphon, Slaves to Darkness, or Ironjaws.

which is shit and which is not? I've never played AoS

It's like watching someone buy the Mona Lisa just to smear their feces all over it.

How should I base my lizardfriends? I tried the Lustrian Undergrowth texture paint but wasn't that impressed, are the Citadel grass or the tufts any good? What about the other texture paints?

Okay make something better that still follows Khorne's theme and isn't just some shit minor buff like the generic Chaos 'durrr roll a 6 and you get 1+ to hit' garbage

I'll wait, because you won't do better than a list of 8 abilitys you can pick and chose from provided the tithe is met.

if it wasn't a blood tithe you cunts would just complain 'where muh blood tithe at gw??? Daemonkin got it so right!!!!!1'

speaking of night goblin, i'm doing a two player team tournament with a friend, what can gobs do that mortal khorne can't ?
outside of magic of course
we tried to pit my army against a 40 blob of gobs, and it was fairly strong (against reavers though)
so more gobs ? archers ?

>You're just a guardsman or a penal legionnaire.
Starcraft marines ware what Rogue Trader Space Marines were. Pretty much unchanged.

>>52642463
>Space marines get it from genetic engineering and rigorous training. Stormcasts get it because they've ascended to demigodhood.
Which is exactly how Space Marines are viewed.
I mean several instances actually uses mythological parallels like that.
The warriors of Fenris die, before they are carried off the battle field by celestial being and eventually come back as Space Marines.

If you really believe the fluff is 'entirely different' you didn't read much of it apparently.

My FLGS decided to run AoS league in 750 and 1500 pkt format so newbies could jump in faster.

My problem is a fact that I've planned my models to play exactly 1k pkt list and now I have to fix myself something else.
My hiring pool is: 2x 10xTzaangors, 3xTzaangor Skyfires, 3xTzaangors Enlighted, Tzaangor Shaman, Ogroid Thaumatruge and Gaunt Summoner.
For 750 pkt it's 1-2 heroes and 1+ battleline and 0-1 monster,

My first idea was to grab two units of 10 Tzaangors, Shaman, Gaunt and Skyfires which put me at 740/750. Can I fit a better squad? (It will be my first league ever in AoS and I have no clue how to play them).

Fuck, I am sick of waiting for new Death stuff.

>>52654291
I'm not even a Death player (yet) and I'd like to see them shown some love. With all this war/killing/slaughter going on, you'd think that maybe-just maybe!-Death would get new units.

Here's a pic of mantic skellies with GW heads from skeletons and graveguard.
Not sure how many extra you get from the graveguard, but I think the skellies have a whopping 10 extra heads.
So for every 10 GW skeletons you can pretty up 10 mantic ones.

What could I add to the LotR Balrog to make it look more like a Bloodthirster?

>>52654389
>April 5th - shell, almost 100% part of hull of the ship that spent ages underwater, or improvised shield of skellington

swap the whip for an axe and add some pieces of armor.
Steal ideas for that from the GW and FW models.
Important: Don't cover his ass.
Bloodthirsters canonically have buns of steel.

I know there really isn't much lore on vampires in AoS yet, but at least in WHFB, did vampires reproduce the standard way, or only through infecting others?

>>52654908

Vampires in WHFB are literally filled with dust and have no internal organs per Gotrek and Felix so yeah the only way they make more is the ol' bitey

>>52654393
nah/10, there's no reason why he would be a FEC hero. Clearly he's a chaos spawn.

>>52654993
So, were vampire characters only married because they were married in life? Or did they still wed for political alliances?

This is my wip 2k list, looking for a lil feedback.
Liche priest - 120
Necromancer - 120
20 skeletons - 160
40 skeletons - 320
40 skeletons - 320
Wight king - 120
5 blood knights - 260
30 skeleton archers - 300
3 vargheists - 160
1880/2000
If I remove 10 skelly archers, I can fit in 3 chariots and a banshee or wraith. Does it sound good in any way? Any other suggestions? I'm sure I have some hexwraith parts stuffed away somewhere at least.

What do you guys think about gw adding more rules for matched play in the ghb 2.0 and subsequent editions? Me and my group play both aos and 40k with some guys coming over from wfb and while we all really enjoy aos we have come to miss the granularity that other games can offer.

Having said that, I'm all for sigmar being simple and easy to get into. It got me into the hobby, and it's gotten a lot of people at my lgs into the hobby who had been apprehensive before. But I think if he is going to keep pushing the three ways to play thing, they could afford to flesh out matched play even more. Making it "harder" for those who want to participate. It doesn't need rules for the sake of rules, but things like miscasts or perils to make the magic phase more impactful or other granular additions could really benefit the game

I think that the three ways to play should be Open, Standard, and Matched. Open play remains the same as it is now, standard play simply requires points and adds a few rules to ensure a more even field for everyone (such as summoning restrictions or rules of 1). Matched play would have the more granular ruleset with different impactful rules but would be marketed as a completely optional way to play, just like the other 2. This way new players could still get into a relatively simple game and progress at any pace they choose as they become more engrossed in the hobby.

Sound like a reasonable idea?
