Anyone got tips on what to do with this thing? I got it in subassembly to paint but I'm worried about transporting it. I'm considering attaching the carriers to the base and leaving the body separate but the totem will still be tall then. Magnetising isn't an option due to the top-heaviness.

A couple new units each and some allegiance abilities for deathrattle, soulblight, nighthaunt and flesh eater courts would do heaps to reinvigorate death. It may even stop the rage filled deathposters.

You just think AoS players will start trying to put together custom skyships for their factions after the Kharadron hit? I could definitely see GW capitalising on it with it's own spin-off game.

Kind of wish the Marienburg Landship was still being sold, would make for a great Freeguild ship.

>>52732640
Flayers are crap, would be a better list if you cut the fat and used them all to stand in for Vargheist.

>>52733319
Related to that, I left my idea of a 1000 pts nurgle army as they would just get rekt (still planning to do them but for 2000 so I can take more tarpit and something close to a heavy hitter), on a "budget" with the start collecting malignants, one spirit host for battleline and a mournghoul. Thing is that I would be left with 200 pts and no general so I thought bringing the mortis as a "mage" and range but it would break the nighthaunt alliance I think.
I'm doomed to use other things (a banshee?) or people (and gw personal) would be ok with me bringing it? I know that it depends and I know that against my friends they would be perfectly ok with that, but playing against the same people gets tiring and I would like to participate in the gw shop battles.
I suppose that for a tournament/league it wouldn't be ok as it attracts more tards and autists and rules are enforced more strictly but what the fuck were geedubs thinking when they did the malignant line?

Fuck it, let's just ditch the Stormcast and make the game all about airships. Everyone gets an airship. All fights revolve around airships. Person with the best airship wins. Warhammer: Age of Boats that wont stay on the ground.

Honestly, I would take back every bad thing I ever said about AoS if they brought out Freeguild Marines with their own flying ships.

Skaven that desires aether-gold, are coming this year according to sources... whether they're flying or found a technological way to get the stuff I don't know, but they were fluffed up in tandem with the Kharadron Overlords...

Aether-gold appears to be a form of warp/wyrdstone so... MINING BATTLE?

>>52733656
Proxy it as a Black Coach? Then at least you're using the model.

Quick list:
Allegiance: Death

Leaders
>Black Coach (120)
>Tomb Banshee (80)
- General
- Trait: Master of the Black Arts
- Artefact: Sword of Unholy Power

Battleline
>3 x Spirit Hosts (120)
- Nighthaunt Battleline
>3 x Spirit Hosts (120)
- Nighthaunt Battleline

Behemoths
>Mourngul (400)

Total: 840/2000

Use the Sword of Unholy Arts to summon Hexwraiths/start with the wraiths on the board and summon Mournghoul.

Coach synergizes with the banshee now as Dark Arts makes her a Wizard, so you can get easy Arcane Bolts/mystic shield to make you spirit hosts infuriatingly hard to kill.

>>52734382

Grundstok Thunderers are basically this. Royal Marines, best shots in the fleet, trained at private academies, then hire themselves out as a mercenary contingent to all other departing fleets, to deal with 'savages and barbarians' while the rest is trying to mine.

>>52734025
Shit, so it is.

Even though that makes so much less sense... Oh well, in that case, same list >>52732638
but with 1 unit of Enlightened and 1 unit of Skyfires.

>>52734262
dont you want Sky Aelves ?

Then when they release new skellies and spooks I will use this as a complement to a death army of combined spoopy arms

No its for Aos 28
Inq28 meets Age of Sigmar
Inq28 explores the lesser known aspects of the Warhammer 40,000 universe and has been a huge success, inspiring Blanchitsu articles, numerous blogs and countless incredible miniatures. Inq28 has become a term that describes not just a particular game but a whole approach to the hobby: an approach that puts creativity and imagination first.
AoS28 is an attempt to bring that same approach to the Nine Realms.
The Age of Sigmar has the potential for all sorts of stories, and just because we mainly see the epic, cinematic god-battles in the Games Workshop books doesn’t mean there aren’t other stories just out of frame, or just off the beaten path. That’s not to say your warband can’t include a few heroes, just that not every hero has to have a duel with Archaon.
What makes a model AoS28?
Conversions - The Age of Sigmar range contains loads of great miniatures but you’ll probably want to convert them in order to personalise them. This could be a kitbash or a complete resculpt. The important thing is to make the model yours.
Character is essential - you don’t have to write a full background story, but you’ll have to think about your character’s personality, they aren’t just pieces on a gaming board: what are their motivations? How have they survived the Chaos apocalypse? What do they think about the return of Sigmar? What secrets do they have?
Extra grimdark - Age of Sigmar has a distinctive, vibrant style, but there is a lot of darkness that is waiting to be explored. You think 40k has a monopoly on grimdark? The Nine Realms were conquered by Chaos, we are only just beginning to learn about the horrors that were unleashed.

not that guy but it is pretty stupid that you carry a grudge over from different games.

>>52734644
Looks pretty good, I'd use the unholy sword and keep one unit in reserve to throw down as a tarpit/objective capper. This is a very fast list and should be played to its strengths, abuse retreats (since you're flying you can really do a lot with them) and play the map rather than getting bogged down - use your hosts to hold nasty units in place for the Mournghoul rape train.

I'm thinking of keeping one of the hosts in summon or the mourn to fuck a bit with them depending of the list they bring. Also I would recommend you to buy a glacing medium, lahmian or something like that it's the name of the citadel one, so the transitions in the spectral colors are softer and blend (not criticizing yours, just saying what I plan to do and a friendly tip)

Since all the shooting the tyranids do is biological in nature I think it makes a lot more sense in a fantasy setting than plasma guns and bolt pistols.

>>52736448
Can't speak for lahmian but I guess it works the same as vallejos glaze and matt/satin/gloss medium. Note that glaze and matt medium aren't the same, glaze medium makes paints more transparent, flow much more and slows drying time which makes it perfect to blend shadows or details kinda like a wash and the matt medium just thins it a bit without loosing coherence (fancy water you could call it).
Right now working on some bk as the minis are awesome before starting the nighthaunt army, the horns and skin of the lord of plagues and the bk too are done with glazes and matt medium. It really helps things to blend but that also depends of how much time you want to work on them, painting approaches, etc. Can't hurt to try, and at worst you can use it to thin down inks/citadel glazes or use it to create custom inks/washes.
I must say that in minis I'm no expert ant what you see it's my level, if we where talking about scale modeling 1/35 armor then I can show off a bit more. Sry for the meh pic

They use the exact same daemons across all 3 settings, tyranids really aren't that much of a stretch to have in AoS. It would be better if they made them more like Deep ones or corrupted lizardmen.
fluffwise they could be biological lizardmen who made it into the mortal realms with all of their beasts and spawning pools but no slann. Maybe some sort of trapped godbeast or something like the great maw adopted them and now uses them as extensions of its will to feast upon the creatures of the realms.

>>52737659

are the free peoples the AOS imperial guard, just without the endless numbers? doesnt that make them basically useless?

>>52737970
They do have the nearly endless numbers, and like the imperial guard their greatest contribution is the artillery.

Stormcasts are just the elite warriors who go in, smash the most dangerous shit the enemy has in a rapid campaign, then leave the Armies if Azyr to mop up the rest and actually hold territory.

>>52737970

you could play clan skyre and get stormfiends as battleline then ramp up with some warmachines

>>52738649
Rejecting gods/kings and the old dwarven ethos is like the whole point of Kharadron society, why would a substantial amount act like old dispossessed?

>>52738709
Lots of heavy artillery, a Doomwheel, Verminlord (whatever flavour), and fill in with rats. 20, maybe 40.

>>52739065
I'm not saying that doesn't make sense, it just makes me sad as a Dispossessed player. Old dwarfs are what got me into warhammer in the first place. Kharadron are still awesome and I still want them, but I'll be happy if/when the other ones eventually get some love. Hopefully with cool runic magic stuff.

>>52737464
I do want a skellywizard, though I like Dark Arts Wight King.

I want a Nighthaunt wizard for keeping Spirit Hosts battle line, but Master of the Dark Arts is huge on a Banshee anyway and gives that freedom. Mortis Engines being Nighthaunt though is probably actually numerous uno on my wishlist, especially as all it would take is a keyword addition on the warscroll.

No, they offer to share 1 tenth of the loot with the Prosecutors to take the sharks down together. Sky Dorfs seem basically like Ferengi, with laws of acquisition and everything.

>>52739315
He's bending the code as they're dressed in gold - fair use in this context is them exploiting the prosecutors to take down the sharks rather than trying to fight both.

Cute skink. He's floating.

So is it possible to summon a unit of Zombies next to another unit, and then immediately merge them?

If you do, can the unit still move or no?

Heralds of Nurgle seem a bit meh, is this the case?

>>52739908
Yes to both.

>>52738683
Haha, freeguild are not useless chaff like guardsmen.

Lorewise they are well trained and relied upon to build Sigmar's empire. In city of secrets, the new novel, the freeguild are center stage.

Rules wise, you would be hard-pressed to find a better ranged choice than a block of freeguild handgunners. They slaughter units. Freeguild swordsmen are an incredible anvil.

Normal human infantry is still very good in this game.

>>52739110
They are the smallest of the six biggest, there's litterally dozens if not hundreds of skyports (well, hundreds is unlikely) beneath them, many of which will be progressive pampered brats.

>>52740501
Ehh. Compare 20 Handgunners vs 20 Thunderers. For 40 points more, Thunderers have better Bravery, better and rerollable Saves, better melee, can ignore magic on a 5+, and pretty much the same shooting profile. Compare to 10 Irondrakes, for only 20 points more than 20 Handgunners, and they have even better saves that ignore Rend of -1(though no reroll), better melee, even better Bravery, and again the same shooting if they don't move, plus the 5+ magic ignore. Smaller unit means those you DO lose have a bigger impact though.

Granted, the stand-and-shoot that Handgunners get is pretty awesome so there's that. Basically all of the units are good in different ways and it depends what you're going for I think.

>>52739489

>>52740951
Not really. 10 or 20 wounds with bravery 10 are much more hard to shift than they appear. They still need dedicated strenght to remove.

>>52740901
Handgunners get up to +2/+2 with a general and state troop detachment. This makes them land about 50% more shots per model compared to Thunderers at +3/+3.

>>52741101
Can you name one unit that will fail to remove them?

>>52741661
And with a general and a runelord Thunderers are 3+/2+/-2/1 and can still move, and still have betters saves, bravery, and melee, and don't need to be wedged into a battalion. The second Gunners have to move or take any casualties they're down to 3+/2+ or 4+/2+.

I really think it just depends on what army you personally prefer to run.

>>52742283

a lot of units will not be able to do 20 wounds reliably in 1 turn

>>52735738

I know its bait but Kharadron all have awful to mediocre armor saves.

>>52740901

Handgunners go from okay but not spectacular to horrendously skewy because of the free guild general and their detachment, not because of their base stats.

If you don't take either of those, I don't mind a 40 man unit of handgunners on the table.

>>52735218
I think the original post was referring to the infamous ghost ship, "The flying Dutchman"

>>52742329

not saying that dwarves dont have great shooting but I'm not really sure I would pay 20 points extra per 10 for a rerollable 5+ save and slightly-less-but-still-bad melee attack if all other things were equal, especially when it trades out stand and shoot.

Of course they're dwarves and are awesome because of that, I think they just don't get the same exposure since every empire player had a ton of handgunners but most dwarf players didn't really skew thunderers.

That's because they are not wearing power armor. It's only a meme. They are wearing pressure suits. This is why their armor saves are 4+/5+ with no ability defense bonuses, and their to-wound in melee ranges from 5+ to 4+.

It sure as hell doesn't scream "lol dwarf space Marines" to me

I know. It's obviously inspired by the Pirate Code from Pirates of the Carribeans, but when you flesh it out, and put it in the context of warhammer and dwarfs, it gets to a whole level of awesome. It's a pretty brilliant way to set it apart from other dwarfs. Fyreslayers and Dispossessed would have really strict laws and immutable edicts, but these guys have a more loose system, breaking dwarfs from the mold without going chaos, but keeping them dwarfy.

That wasn't the impression I got, but on the other hand I can easily see this captain twist it around like that.

But also, I doubt the Stormcasts really give a shit.

>>52744660
No. They don't. They are masks so they cover everything, however each and every one is custom and is their way of expression. Dwarfs don't Mass produce anything, it's all about carefully crafted custom work. So each ship is unique, each weapon hand crafted, and all that.

So this guy's may probably does have as goofy expression on it, but underneath it can be different

It's a little weird, too, since AoS has been big on painting your dudes however you want, to the point of it being mentioned that the Celestant Prime's armor colors changes to whichever Stormhoat he's currently aiding.

>>52746803

So with Airships as commonplace in AoS can we just start calling it Spell jammer again?

Theyve said all the goofy rules from legacy models just happen automatically, you dont have to do the stupid shit.

How does this work now?

Wife is wanting to start a Pestilens/Nurgle army. So am I reading this shit right that if she mixes the two the only battleline unit that combo has access to is the plaguebearers?

Also how "fun"/ easy to learn for newcomers is that army combo?

>>52747140
probably some kind of Bravery check gets made but I don't know for sure.

>>52747140

Then why the fuck did they bother giving point costs to compendium battalions at all?

>>52747289
they like your tears

>>52740951
They're the ultimate chaff unit - take at least a turn to remove, cheap, and summonable. Throwing them down as a roadblock or an objective capper is a better use of 80pts than a Spawn or some Marauders or something equally lacklustre.

What would you do with the spare points?

>>52747316
How are brimstone horrors summonable?

>>52747289
Because in practice, fucking everyone will accept that Freeguild Handgunners = Empire Handgunners, etcetera

>>52747267
Sorry, but no. Because they're significantly smaller scale.

I guess via Ogroid Thaumaturge, which I would need the spare points for.

Hey guys, starting seraphon and looking at ripperdactyls. They have the ability

Voracious Appetite: Each time a model from this unit attacks with its ViciousBeak and scores a hit, immediately make another hit roll against the same target. Carry on until a hit roll does not score a hit, then make any woundrolls.

But in matched play there is the rule of 1 where you can not generate hits off of generated hits. So do I follow the battletome rule or the rule of 1?

>>52747695
Rule of 1

>>52747695
The rule of 1 explicitly quote the Ripperdactyls rule and explain how it nullifies it.
How are you confused?

>>52747799
Because he's retarded, and we keep spoon-feeding people like him.

what is the point of specifically writing abilities to generate attacks off of generated attacks

then make another rule that nullifies it?

I also thought that armybook rules always took precedence over BRB rules

>>52747829
Because those rules only work in Matched Play, not Open or Narrative. On top of that, you still get extra attacks from the first set of succesful hits, just no more after that, so it's not like the rule doesn't work. Nowhere in AOS does it say that armybook overrides rulebook (especially considering the General's Handbook is not technically the rulebook) and it was specifically implemented to stop cunts like you doing this exact thing and getting potentially infinite attacks.

>>52747861
>Because those rules only work in Matched Play, not Open or Narrative
literally not a single person on earth has played Open since the GHB came out

>>52747883
Doubtful.

>>52747883
Except GW themselves, who I think still don't understand that people only care about Matched. You only have to look at the various summoning abilities in the Tzeentch battletome for that. They're going to keep writing rules that are applicable for all three modes and then let the Matched Play restrictions sort it out, despite the fact that Narrative is useless and Open is dumpster-fire.

>20 tzeentch dudes
>same price as
>10 dwarfs
What did GW mean by this?

>>52747743
If anything they're actually a little bulkier than the skellies. Hmm, they're pretty cheap at £15 for 10 as well, I'll wait and see the results of the Skeleton repack before going for it though.

>>52745672
I have a terrible OCD when it comes to mixing minis of different manufacturers. Don't get me wrong, those are awesome minis, but next to state troops they don't fit in. Same with the heads >>52745731 suggests. I use them form my Fempestus Scions. Works well on their own but next to other minis it is pretty obvious the heads don't fit with heads from guard or normal Scions.

Besides, while I don't mind boob plate, there is something cool about chicks wearing 'normal' armour.

>>52746009
So... let's talk about Dreadfleet and why that is a lesson GW learned about doing stuff like thata gain.

>>52748162
What lesson, you fool? The only lesson here is about slow game design. The visual component was genius.

>>52747829
Because Matched Play is meant to be competitive.

The rule of 1 stop the most broken/stupid stuff.

In open and narrative there is suppose to be a mutual deal between players not to abuse the rules, because that's the thing with Narrative and Open play.

In matched play there isn't such thing, so you need extra rules.
Otherwise tournaments will be full of rerollable attacks generating attacks, magic spam and 1+ saves.

Can you stop being such a retard now?

>>52747946
Sadly this.
It's like they are deliberately trying to cover their ears and ignore how the GHB was only "[their] most successful supplement ever!!!" due solely to adding fucking points. Sorry GW the rest was nice but completely forgettable.
> ib4 BUT BUT ANON I LOVES OPEN PLAY I PLAY IT ALL THE TIME AT MAH GW
Get the fuck out. The owner at the local GW tries this shit, and she is completely insufferable for it

any word of them reworking summoning for the new GHB?

As it stands, a lot of warscroll abilities that have a chance to randomly generate a model (vampires) are totally moot

>>52748332
If there's any reinforcement rule that needs a rework it's pic related.

>>52748309
I tried to play Open or Narrative lots of times. The lesson I learned? The majority of people are faggots for which "Open Play" just means "OH BOY I DON'T HAVE RESTRICTIONS TIME TO GO MAXIMUM OVERFAGGOT HERE WE GO" and then you have a fluffy Bloodbound army going against a Seraphon army that every turn summon more models than the entire BB army while rippers generate infinite attacks and Saurus Guards have a 1+ unrendable save.

>>52748309
Open play can work with the right people, or atleast with the right mindset. If someone is new and has a box of guys and a hero...

>sure let's do some open play!
>I'll get some of my guys and a hero that are about your guys strength (maybe a little less) and we'll think of a cool scenario.
>Why don't you think of a name for your General while I set up terrain?

Never had a newbie who didn't enjoy a game like this. The narrative component helps people to get into it. Other reason to play open is when you just want to get crazy with terrain rules like sieges and just end up plopping down everything you got.

But if you want a 1 on 1 that is halfways balanced you will not get around points. Also, I have a hard time believing anyone wants old summoning rules back.

>>52748383
>Also, I have a hard time believing anyone wants old summoning rules back.

Mainly death faggots like >>52748368

>>52748395
It makes the Ring of Immortality completely useless. 440pts to bring back your leader but now with D3 wounds? No one ever takes it now and it used to be a commonly used artefact in Death lists.

>>52746449
>But how would Iron Jaw's ship stay in the air?
ship is filled with screaming wyrdboyz

>>52734833
What torsos are those?

>>52748402
Yeah, because it was a thing designed to let a common hero barely survive and redeploy, but instead it was used on a 440 behemot that did mortal wounds at area when it died and then regenerated so you basically had two of them.

>>52748402
>Bawwww I have to L2P because I cant abuse stupid shit

>>52748382
This.
If you have a good group, you don't need points anyway. If you want to try something you will just do it. You don't need permission given by fucking GW

No one takes skeletons seriously anyway, so it fits.

>>52748557
I don't know a single person who says "aelves", "duardings" or "deathrattle" in real life.

>>52748685
Given the way it's spelt, Aelves™ would pretty much just be pronounced elves anyway.

>>52748713
Ayelves
And let's not even touch the languages where ae is pronounced differently.

>>52748685

Don't forget Oruks or some gay shit.

>>52747798
Just here to remind everyone of this.

>>52748731
In English, it's usually a long "e", so it should actually be "Eelves."

>>52748557
They are dead and their bones rattle. Fitting name.

>>52748685
LGW store manager uses them all and the horrid Orruks..

Are Chaos Undivided armies viable in this game? What would a general army list look like?

>>52748685
I use Orruks, but Duardin is a bit of a mouthful.

I tried to maintain all the naming conventions in an AoS RP campaign i'm playing, but damn it's hard.

>>52748713
Ae is just the lackluster english language trying to spell ä. Even the retarded dane-devils manages to get an ä into their language by simply fusing an a to an e and calling it a letter.

Anybody got an cool idea's for high elf colour schemes?

How'd I do on Apophas?

>>52748506
Agreed. I have two mates that want open and narrative. I want matched mainly for the points. If they want to disregard battleline, fine by me. In fact I encourage it cause I play ironjawz, and sometimes I wanna bring some extra stuff and not have to then take 200-300 of grots just to take some ranged.

>>52748879
Yeah just play Slaves to Darkness.
Chaos lord - 100
Sorcerer Lord - 140
2 units of warriors - 360
1 unit Knights - 200
1 Warshrine - 200
1000/1000

Or you can put in a 30 mauraders instead of the shrine for 180

>>52748989
Also when your main army is Slaves to darkness you can always switch up a few units and have a totally new faction. Just paint them black or a neutral color.

New Nurgle comes out? Mark all your warriors and shit Nurgle, get a box of Blight Kings and you are good to go

Bored? Want Khorne? Mark everything Khrone, get some blood skull blood rage bloody death bloods and bam, fresh army.

>>52748979
Not bad.

>>52747883
i play it regularly

>>52749241
No, it doesn't. Models in range of the banner are affected by rage of khorne. Models affected by rage of khorne get +1 attack.

Now add the second banner. Are they still affected by rage of khorne? Yes? They get +1 attack.

It's not +1 for each banner, it's +1 for being affected by rage of khorne.
