Use a necrosphinx instead of the second morngul.
It wrecks shit, can heal, and your opponent will put everything it has into it, making the rest of your army free to do whatever.

Master race reporting in.

So Kharadrons are looking shooty as fuck but fairly squishy and with shit melee.

Ironclads look appropriately shooty but frankly a 4+ on an 18 wound model is a bit squishy for how much it's going to cost especially since I don't think we've seen any armor buffs inside the faction yet (besides batten down the hatches)

Then again it has about 0 reasons to ever leave your deployment zone and should probably go into an AC-130 holding pattern around the battlefield so with its regen it's fairly resilient to chip damage from shooting.

One thing I love about AoS, is it's a game where you can table your opponent, and still lose. It's all about smart movement and objective playing.

Just bought blades of khorne and labyrinth of the lost from my lgs. For some reason the pages on both of them are slightly warped. Is this normal for gw books or not? Kind of bummed to buy new books that feel like 2nd hand..

Mine wasn't warped, either take it back to the shop or contact GW, you should be able to get a new one nae bother.

more like 300 to 350 points. they do want to sell models you know.

>>52687303

Doesn't sound normal. Take that shit back and get a replacement. You pay a premium at gw, for that premium you atleast expect a product in good nick and if it's not tht premium affords you the right to return it, IMO atleast. Gw is usually very good at customer service type shit. Assuming it was a gw store you bought it in or online and not a flgs and then it's entirely up to them.

pls.
I understanding wanting a new battletome or rules, but if you play TK, empire, any chaos, skaven, etc you have a complete army lst to choose from and nothing is really lacking. They all have ranged options, horde options etc.

I actually prefer the old stuff to new, such as iron jawz because they aren't complete yet. They don't even have any ranged options

First of all, if it was true nobody in head office would ever actually say it.

Secondly they are extremely happy with how AoS is doing. I'm mid-level in the UK, not high enough to me making decisions but high enough to know what the vibe is like in HQ. Its usually through people like me that info is passed down to store level staff.

Youd have to be fucking retarded to think theyd revert to something that did so fucking shit at the time just because a video game did well.

I don't get this perception that you can't make an AoS game. Like you can just paste in stormcast into TWWH and itd work exactly the same. Just because AoS doesnt do ranked combat as part of the actual game doesnt mean that it doesnt happen thematically.

In fact TWWH is just WHFB copied over to vidja, so why couldnt you do that for AoS, or any of its subgames, like silver tower or Hammerhal, or this new one Underwolds?

I'm perfectly happy to give GW shit when they are shit and I've been doing it a lot over recent years so I get accused of this pretty regularly but honestly they've been hitting it out of the park recently and it's really hard to stay mad at them for past digressions.

Pretty much since Kirby left they've been doing stuff that I've been saying they should have been doing for years.

I kind of feel like GW are stood outside my window playing Peter Gabriel at this point, they know they done goofed and they are legit trying to win people like me back instead of at best pretending like I don't exist or at worst treating me with contempt.

I really appreciate it and it is working as I recently started playing AoS, my first GW game in about 5-6 years.

Can we do the post custom warscrolls thing again? I like seeing what creative people come up with, and what things you think are lacking from certain factions.

For me it's Fimir as an army, and some sort of multi-wound units for Dispossessed.

>>52690243
Pestilens and Verminus just need to overrun them in numbers, you can lose 10 monks and not give a fuck but one Brute is a big deal, have at least 70 bodies on the table.

Skryre just does the typical stand and shoot, kill the warchanter first, counter attack with Stormfiends

Moulder/Eshin is fucked, you have low numbers and no one is as good in melee compared to 'Ardboyz, and Brutes destroy Rat ogres and Hellpits, but these 2 sub-factions are fucked in 90% of battles so no change there.
>>
>>52690331
Yeah, you're right. Or the inevitable Ironjawz junkships. Although Grot Sky Pirates are probably after Cthulhu Aelves--they're probably pushing airships this summer.

>>52690333
I hope we see a change to this in GHB2. You'll probably have to pay a huge tax for it, but it'd be more fun, and it's not like it completely fucks the lore except for a few matchups. It could just be like 40k where some combos are good allies, some are bad, and some can't be taken together.

Unfortunately the FLGS owner who plans on running it is pretty stickler for RAW and following rule books. I'll ask but he will probably shoot it down.

Still, I blame him way less than GW. God the treated Beastmen like shit in Fantasy and they're still getting the raw deal.

And I cannot believe that there wasn't a single Chaos warband with a Doombull in it in which the Doombull thought "I'm gonna fuck this guy up"and then proceeded to beat the shit out of the Chaos Lord and got default control the Warband.

2) AoS isnt about powercreep/ P2Win like 40k

I am definitely going to have at least one mortar team in my army. If anything because I think it is a neat idea.

>>52686524
Remember they can shoot on the same turn they disembark as well, so a unit of Decksweepers or Fumigators might be able to do some damage if dropped in the right place.
5 D6 4/4 -1 shots can be pretty scary for a hoard army.

You could drop them off in range of some fast moving unit that decided to get on the objective early, shoot them, then next turn hop back on the boat and move away again.
Actually, if the Gunhauler can carry troops, this could be an amusing tactic.

>>52686878
They can self heal, be healed even more by a hero, and on stream they said that the gunhaulers can take damage for them, so presumably that means they have a similar rule to the Spirit of Durthu.
>>
>>52686294
Given the Ironclad has a cap of 20 guys, It's probably a safe bet the Frigate can carry 10 models. Stuff a MSU Arcanaut Company with light skyhooks in a frigate, rush up a flank and deploy the company into some terrain with decent visibility. Now you can attack the enemy monsters or heroes with a couple of really powerful shots from the light skyhooks while a whole bunch of reasonable small arms fire makes any push to remove them at least unpleasant.
Meanwhile, the frigate can either loiter in the area and provide firesupport, or can go off to harass the enemy elsewhere and murder targets of opportunity.

>Equipment is free

Pretty sure Equipment are like Artifacts, unless I am incorrect; you can only have a few per army.

Either way, it's still alot of eggs in one basket for a glorified artillery piece.

>>52691671
Actually, in this case, there are special artefacts for the airships as well, called "Great Endrinwork".

Either way, there is no rule saying you can't have multiple of the same artefact in an army, so until we see otherwise, we have to assume it is the same story here.

Dont you see FEC is literraly top tier ?
>>
>>52691671
Literally nothing right now is pointing towards Equipment being a "Everyone gets one" pool and works more like Artifacts.

So yeah, Waste your Artifact on a single ship, waste another hero slot and points to keep it up, and then watch as all your eggs in one basket die to focus fire.

Which shows because Overlords seem to have pretty shitty units save for shooting.

So simply tool against shooting.

>>52691706
One per Army, plus one per formation I am guessing, multiples would be fine. The Mine Endrinwork seems like a trap anyway.

Halberds with 3+ 3+ with spear range is great, and they're defensively tough as fuck.

Why is the Witch Aelves box so expensive?
>>
>>52691720
I was just correcting his mistake about the artefacts, since it isn't common knowledge that the dorfs have some for the boats as well.

I am not getting involved in your stupid argument.
>>
>>52690961
I get them regularly, but I prefer to flush them down rather than keeping them.
>>
>>52691720
So let me get this straight.

You people seem to think the boats can "Snipe" things and fly about the battlefield unhindered... at what? 10" speed maximum?

The only one with mines is the big Battleship, and it seems quite easy to focus fire down each boat and it's support with said counters.

You people are literally whining "But they can shoot" Like you people never encountered shooting in AoS before.
>>
>>52691747
if we are comparing them to the legacy armies that haven't been updated then sure, ill give it to you. But you have to admit they are no where near the power level of the new stuff.

>>52691787
>Why is the Witch Aelves box so expensive?

keeps the undesirables out. also they are some of the most detailed and well sculpted models in the whole GW range. good luck painting those bikinis on models half the size of a SC trooper.
>>
>>52691857
I wanted the Aelves for an Amazon Blood Bowl team, but they're so fucking expensive I might reconsider
>>
>>52691787
cus its an old warhammer set and some of the prices were/still are in certain relation to their punch/pointcost on the tabletop. Newer stuff has gotten cheaper recently (they even reboxed the 5man stormcast boxes into slightly more expensive 10man ones) but usually your mook choices are considerably cheaper than the elite Variants even tho there isnt more plastic or detail on them a good example is Graveguard and skellies, their only difference is that the graveguard have armor on their bodies and glaives instead of spears, but they cust 50% more as theyre twice as powerful on the tabletop
>>
>>52691857
They're comparable to Hearthguard Berzerkers easily, and come out better.

>>52691884
id argue with you using math but you wouldn't believe me anyways.

>>
>>52691942
What other 1 wound elite units can I compare them to?
>>
>>52691973
If they are 3+/3+ with good range then maybe Stormvermin. Vermin have presumably worse defense, but a nice -1 rend though.

Just strikes me as funny to compare anything to a Fyreslayer when the army is so weak

You speak the truth, brothers! Now, let us do awesome vampire things like the vampires we truly are.
>>
>>52691973

Greatswords are the epitome of 1 wound elite infantry, especially with their general nearby
>>
I'm brand new to AoS and Warhmmer in general so I've never seen a new army release before, but does GW normally release brand new factions with so few kits? It feels like there are just 5 or 6 kits. I guess if I look at the amount of Stormcast Eternals and Fyreslayers kits, both didn't seem to have a ton of options at launch either.

What's the release schedule like for models in new armies?
>>
>>52692241
Normally done over 2 or 3 weeks.
>>
>>52692241

They usually release them over a few weeks

Stormcasts have a ton of options, the boxes tend to have multiple options.

Fyreslayers aren't a huge faction in general
>>
>>52692213
How durable are Greatswords, across unit size and point values? I assume that 20 at 1000 are a real force to be reckoned with, but how about 10 at 1000? And do the 20 at 2000 still do the same job?
>>
>>52692213
>Greatswords
Saurus Guard are better
>>
>>52692307

Free guilds as a whole are glass cannons once their synergies come into play

Greatswords are 160 for 10 which is 16 points per wound at a 4+ armor save, for contrast liberators are 200 for 10 wounds which is 20 points per wound at a 4+ armor save with a reroll.

So for infantry they're somewhere in the middle for durability for cost, where they shine is that it's trivial to make them each have 2 attacks at 2+/2+/-1/1 which is about as good as you can get from infantry
>>
>>52692303

Yeah, I guess I was directly comparing them to Fyreslayers because I wanna start a new dwarfy army.
>>
>>52692356

Saurus guard are great, they're a bit more expensive for a LOT more armor and a bit less damage. They're absolutely a wonderful choice and both are probably in the top 5

BRO
>>
>>52692375

Fyreslayers are in a weird spot where they're getting a good points rework but they just cost so much $$ to make their big units.

Kharadrons on the other hand don't seem like they'll be all that much more $$ than a normal army, depending on the points cost of their boats
>>
>>52692373
Alright, so they make a hilariously killy unit for mulching in melee, but never something you'd want to use to screen gunlines over disposable 10-20 man blobs of Guard with Sword and Board?
>>
>>52692411
Big boat's the size of a Baneblade in length and width, but hilariously fatter. I'll allow you to guess how much they'll rape your wallet.
>>
>>52692422

If you have all your battleline needs taken up by handgunners or crossbows feel free to take as many as you like, greatswords cost less than liberators on a per wound basis and do more than double the damage. Plus counter charge is fun as fuck
>>
>>52692241
In the end, there'll be about 12 different units when it's all released.
>>
>>52692422

Guard with sword and boards are legitimate speed bumps but greatswords are cheap for what they do, they are optimal counter charge units though
>>
>>52686396
>>52686439
I just noticed how scary these things look when used together.

A unit of 5 with Aethercannons with the Khemist can do a shit ton of damage to whatever it hits.

I think the Mortar could be an interesting choice to use against the long range elite units every army seems to get now, since although it doesn't have rend, the volume of attacks and damage might just be enough, since those units tend to be small in model count.
>>
>>52692538
Fair enough. I was planning on just screening Handgunners with disposable Guard, but I suppose it couldn't hurt to see if I have the points to plop down a unit of Greatswords in the center of the bunker, at the expense of trimming the Guard down from tarpit to speedbump.
>>
>>52688840
I fucking KNEW Attila sucked balls. Thanks for the Intel anon. Every time I tell those fuckwads how bad and how shitty Attila was they never listen to me. All the old die hard TW fans wanted old complicated features back in the game that added nothing of value except complexity for the sake of complexity and lo and behold the sales are a compelling point. Add in the worst optimized Total War of all time to this day and you have perhaps the worst of the modern TW. I know Rome 2 was worse at launch, but now all patched up and with the support it had its magnificent.

>>52692664
Why did you make a gun label picture when you don't know what you are talking about.

What you have marked as the "Grundstok Mortar" is the Aethercannon. What you have marked as the Aerthercannon is a regular Aethershot Rifle.

The Gruntstock Mortar isn't pictured there, but it is in White Dwarf. It is basically a bulky M7 Grenade Launcher.
>>
>>52692603
Why would you ever take Aethercannons instead of a Mortar for something like that? The cannons are basically trash for anything outside of Disembarking and shooting. A five-man unit paired with a khemist, however, is tossing out 10 shots at 36''. And given that they're mortars, I wouldn't be surprsied to see the indirect fire ability tossed onto them as well.
>>
>>52692664
This is wrong.

>>52692720
This is right.
>>
>>52692693
Both the unit and the Khemist can go on a ship.

Khemist is allowed to buff, and they are allowed to shoot, as well as move on the same turn they get off the ship (since they disembark in the Hero phase), meaning that unless your ship gets shot down, they will pretty much always get to shoot before they are shot at.

This also means the Ship can deploy them from 16 inches away, and then move afterwards to get itself out of enemy range for incase things don't go well.

What about if we involve a Khemist, which increases the attacks by 1.

Obviously that has more of an effect on the Skyhooks, and if it is effective it could be a decent choice of target for the buff.

Hate to meme, but this list is basically the AoS equivalent of "Dies to Lightning Bolt." While the Klan might take a while to shoot down, the rest of that army is just going to fall away if your opponent has any kind of gunline.


>>52692987
It has 18 wounds and can heal every Overlord Hero Phase. If you're facing anything capable of 9+ wounds in one turn, you are staring down a 50/50 chance that it gets popped without ever getting to respond. And 9 wounds in one turn is far from extraordinary. Combine assorted shooting and then some melee from some heavy cavalry? P O P

It gets to pick where it moves.

It also gets to choose what it shoots with its main gun, torpedoes and carbines.
Also, since we are talking about bringing it down with multiple units shooting and charging, it is only fair we talk about the Ironclads support units.
It is almost certain going to have gunhaulers with it, and dont forget that anything that charges the Ironclad is going to attack last.
