So worth using the Everchosen in a DOT to get the double 6 roll with destiny dice?

Not really. Better off spending all those points on skyfires and just shooting whatever you wanted to roll 6s on. Neat combo though.

>Same abilities no longer stack
This is fair, and I'm saying this as a Portal of Skulls wielding Khorne player. The new wording suggests it doesn't stack.
>Points increase for all 9"+ shooting unit
Good, I hate this Fantasy shoot-em-up game we've got. I hope some restrictions get laid down to prevent units from shooting into and out of combat, too.
>Prayer is limited to rule of one
This is unfortunate but understandable.

If you're dead set on that particular red, try mixing a small amount of balthazar gold of leadbelcher into it to give it a metallic undertone or paint it as a non-metallic metal. The flat red paint makes it look like their armor is plastic or ceramic instead of metal.
>>

Balthazar gold OR leadbelcher. Wish I had noticed that before I looked like an asshole.

I really love them, but I think this is one of the reason they have put away them, they use the same slot as SE of Uberkights in armor.

By the way, many people don't like the same mask on all tje SE, but I like the concept of the endless and fearless army; I hope one they give use back another army of "real" knight so we can use this concept too make them feel really different.

There are no link to the grand alliance books because there is no point.
It's just a collection of the single pdf you can have on the site or the app.
Also super-cheap.

Nah, those came about with the Sylvaneth battletome.

There are one or two battalions in them, and that's it.

Where does the strength from varanguard and chosen come from? They both seem pretty low damage (especially considering the formers points). I know chosen could at least get good with +wound buffs to make mortal wounds but I can't see any obvious sources for that
>>
Old WHFB guy who wants ti give AoS a chance Here.

I was more upset at them scrapping the setting than the game itself but since Over a year as passed I am willing to give it a chance.

Which books are worth reading to try to get into the AOS fluff, with focus on world building preferably.So far I only read gates of azyr which left me with a meh feeling

Or should I just follow the official reading order and dont focus on anything?
>>
>>53091916
Chosen marked Khorne get +1 to wound from a Lord on a Juggy. 10 of them with a banner then become quite dangerous, but you would never run that instead of Bloodletters.

Varanguard are just shitty, they were bad anyway but not being able to deploy them with a keyword kills any use they could ever have.
>>
>>53091825
Actually the destruction one is JUST warscrolls and some minor fluff. Not a single thing else
>>
>>53092034
Hammers of Sigmar is meant to be one of the better books and explores stormcast, I'm unsure on world building sides of it though. Imho a lot of the focus seems to be on race building instead, to reinforce how you can make a place somewhere for your dudes to exist, in which the battle tomes work well. Think the reading list covers most of that stuff with all the Gates books
>>
>>53092108
Cheers, I'll look into the new khorne tome I think. Really like the idea of mortal chaos but it seems quite limited in terms of rend, mortal and range (much like most armies). Good defence mind with chaos warriors and such
>>
>>53092288
New Khorne tome is sweet. Highly recommend it.

OK thanks.

Any books where the old army factions appear? I used to play high elves so is there anything featuring aelve characters?
>>
>>53088573
there're always the same problems: pauldrons are too flat, the abdominal plate and the chest piece aren't a single piece and the proportions are too wide
>>
>>53092373
Most of the armies do well against each other, it's the new battletomes that seem to be on a different level. Sylvaneth v Tzeentch is equal enough, so is dwarves v death. Things get a bit hard when you take an old battletome against a post sylvaneth one
>>
>>53092391
>proportions are too wide

Just like space marines...

Too wide and not tall enough.
>>
>>53092401

Right, so even stormcast have issues with newer battletomes?
>>
>>53092388
Aelves are quite secretive atm, the realms they're based in are closed off. Seems to be building towards a release at some point tied to slaanesh and the gods disappearance, but means lore is light so far.
I'd recommend downloading the sylvaneth tome from the mega and having a little read through the lore section to see how I guess a splinter group of the elves has evolved since the end times, it's interesting if you liked elves.
Only direct lore I know of is specific locations though, such as the spire of dawn and the two elves in silver tower, but doesn't tell you much
>>
>>53092427
Stormcast just got a new one so they're doing alright. They'll always have a boon of unit variety helping them though. Generally unless someone brings a cutting edge list anything can be a close match.
Tbh I try to do narrative cause it's fun just bringing what you want / what fits your dudes lore, but I know lots of people don't like that (neither did I until I tried it). Guess it depends again on who you're playing with and how you balance scenarios
>>
>>53092409
the space marines don't suffer nearly that much from it
not even terminators

the shape of their boots make the legs look slimmer while the pauldrons develop vertically instead of horizontally
>>
>>53092461

Right: On a related topic - Which faction can run a ranged-focused force best? I like my wood elves but I imagine they won't be getting any new battle tomes any time soon so I might end up buying some new stuff as well.

Fluffed my dudes around the ironbark battalion so thought I'd represent that on the models, hence the little runic trinkets on the wood body as well. Harder to make the dwarves look more sylvaneth though, so I'm chalking that up to dwarf stubbornness to change
>>
>>53092611
This isn't all from personal experience but:
Freeguild, lots of shots and shielding units
Skaven, mortal wounds on big artillery and shielding units
Beast claw, mortal wounds from durable monsters
Tzeentch, spell flinging and mortal wounds. Survive through speed and spells
Wild orc thingy, hails of arrows from big unit groups. Survive through numbers
Dwarves are still dwarves
There's WAAC hybrid stuff like sylvaneth kurnoth with hurricane what ya call it, but they're the main shooting lists I remember. Wood elves surprisingly have better melee if I remember right from a few threads ago.
>>
>>53092961

Why is there atleast one all caps spewer about us in every thread? It's embarasing.

Work around problem instead of waiting for someone else to fix it, that was how WHFB worked, and as far as I've experienced, it's working fine in AoS aswell.

Rules question of what to do with my old WHFB army:
I have two old islands of blood set, 10 white lions and 20 archers except prince on a griphons because I am pretty sure it was accidentally thrown away while moving places, so I can't field a proper guardians of the spire army.

Barring an legacy high elf army, I have the units to to field an whole Eldritch council army since my Blademasters count as battleline there. Does that mean I can only use the archmage and the blademastes and can't put in any other of my high elves in the army to count an eldritch council army?

Also how do I know if my spireguard(old lothern seaguards) can count as battline as I can't find the keyword in their scroll?

Been working on my mortal / beast list and it naturally expanded to 1500. Some range, mortal wounds and flight on the chimera, with a big buffed bullgor blob up the middle to hopefully shred whatever. Thought since I had a spare 100 points at the end and needed a battleline I may as well go blood warriors to get some higher save models on there compared to reavers or marauders.
Thoughts?

>>
Are kingdom death minis too big to use as counts as stuff or conversions?
>>
>>53095203
If you do not have an absolute favored God, you may choose to keep them undivided.

Since Slaves of Darkness are flexible, you could then collect different heroes for the specific gods, so you can change the playstile just by switching them.

In one game you could have a Lord of Khorne on Juggernaut and a Bloodsecrator, to play a more compact and symbiotic stile, and the game later you could take a Slaaneshi Lord on Daemonic Steed and have the most brutal cavalry charges you have even seen.

You can even just take relics and use the different allegiance abilities just by switching mark.

That's actually something you can do!

Swing by the nearest DIY store (a lumberyard
is a little-known cheaper option for rural anons) and get a pretty decent amount of blue foam. Start fucking around with that, try cutting it, sanding it, etc and learn how to make interesting structural shapes. Create a shape to be your diorama's base, and then use plaster to create proper texture on top of that. The nice thing about plaster is that you can make the 'base holes' before it sets, and you can set pre-cast plaster stones in there. When that's done just build up like you're basing a very large model!

How do you beat Aetherstrike with KO?

I need to kill his Raptors before they inflict critical damage but it seems impossible.

Cant charge him, the birds and judicators get in the way and when they die the raptors shoot for free.

Cant be aggressive with my zeppelins, they just get shot down before they get in range. Even with a double turn he just counter-charges with birds and forces me to kill them and then shoots for free.

Can't even shoot the fuckers. My squad of 20 thunderers with mortars and 3 Khemist buffs outranges the longstrikes but they dont do anything against protectors giving me -1 (or -2) to hit and the lantern of the tempest making me reroll hit6, then his raptors have a 2+ save because of the castellant buff and staunch defender.
>>
>>53098093
You have to go first and deepstrike a fully loaded zilfin ironclad close enough to them to get 20 buffed thunderers with aethercannons firing into them. You can also load 12 riggers on it and they all shoot as well along with the ship itself. None of their buffs are up yet so theoretically unless his screens are perfect and he zones you out with bodies you should get at least 8 of them and force a battleshock test.

still patiently waiting for an Aelves release. Been like 2 years now and 3 of the most popular armies in the game have yet to get anything.

inb4 sylvaneth are Aelves
no they aren't
>>
>>53098461
Like it or not they're filling a role that elves used to fill, the new elf inspired releases will be similar
>>
>>53098349
>None of their buffs are up yet
Most of it is passive and does not require a turn to activate. Aetherstrike bonuses are always active, Protectors -1/-2 hit and artifact that makes me reroll hit6 are always active, Staunch Defender is always active.

Only thing that requires a turn is the castellants +1 save buff, and I dont think that will be significant enough to throw my entire army away on a deep strike maneuver.

With 20 thunderers (+3 attacks each) using mortars I did not do a single point of damage.

>unless his screens are perfect
His screening is always on point. I have to assume he won't make any simple mistakes like that.

If I deploy in reserve he deploys in a corner and waits for me to make my move. He has units like liberators in reserve that can teleport in and take objectives if I choose not to engage. If I engage him directly he wins that engagement every time.

It seems like its impossible to beat a good aetherstrike :/

>>53098442
2 Judicators, 2 Aetherwings, Azyros, Venator, 2 Raptors

How do KO deep strike? I'm not that familiar with this faction
>>
>>53098519
You need to go first and shoot them before they get inspiring presence and double lantern buffs, there is simply a big difference between 80 shots at -1 vs 3+ save and -1 reroll 6 vs 2+ save with mortars. One will kill 6-7 guys with the ship guns added on average and cause a battleshock test, the other bounces off and does nothing. If you kill most of the longstrikes riggers with buffs on their chainsaws can take apart everything else and you still have 9 skyhooks on companies.
>>
>>53098711
Longstrikes do well against heavy armor targets or single model units. A unit of 3 LS does about 4 damage per salvo

Hurricanes do more against lighter armor targets (look for 5+ saves)

Longstrikes typically get more value and are easier to use, but theyre also a very high priority target for your enemy so dont expect them to live long
>>
>>53098800
Zilfin gives you the ability to call in one ship one time.
>>
>>53098929
Lantern artifact doesnt need to be activated, it is a passive effect. You will always have -1/-2 reroll6 against the raptors

>if you kill most of the longstrikes
You wont, thats the problem

>>53098941
Deep strike doesnt really solve the problem, either.

Gryph Hounds zone you at least 15" away from the raptors (or you can choose to take 1500 points of shooting from stormcast - good luck with that) and you cant move after disembarking from a zilfin deep strike.

Mortars dont do enough damage to get through those hit debuffs and a 3+ save (assuming you even get line of sight, lots of places are starting to move away from TLOS), aethercannons dont have enough range.

You cant do meaningful damage to the raptors and shooting anything but the raptors means you lose the game. Cant beat them on objectives because it forces you into the raptors killzone and they have more teleporting gimmicks.

Seems like the only way to win is to hope the stormcast player makes a huge mistake or you get very lucky with dice rolls.

You can't move but riggers can still grapple gun and charge, If you can't shoot them and kill them with 80 mortars or 120 rifles and you can't physically get riggers into melee with them disembarking on turn one then they cant beat them. Play Tzeentch I guess and put a LoC on a vortex.

Dear elffags.
1. AoS was literally Stormcast vs Khorne
2. Now it is Tzeentch
3. new 40k is coming out and its going to have Nurgle, so logically there will also be a new Nurgle AoS release with the Great unclean one etc.
4. Next will be slaanesh. Slaanesh will be fightan with the elves, so you will get your release AFTER the nurgle one, since the time of tzeentch is just ending now.

You can't just discount their stuff to make them look worse. 20 orruks have a rend and 40 attacks and shields. 10 hard boys have 30 attacks and no rend and no shields or 20 attacks and shields or 20 attacks and rend.

Orruks are only bad because Greenskinz as a faction are garbage, and big blobs of cheap crap are bad.

>Because they haven't had proper releases yet. it's not hard to figure out.
dwarves were one, 1 army in WHFB that was as popular as any 1 of the three elves armies. Dwarves got two so far. Fuck even Death got 1 release and have an army that keeps dominating the tournament scene.

The bitterness is justified
>>
>>53098093
Lets look at a different approach
Mhornar pick a unit reroll failed hits in the shooting phase.
80 mortar shots on raptors.
5s go through for 13.33 average hits.
66.67 rerolls result in 22.2 extra hits.
35.5 wounds rolls get you 23.67 save rolls.
3.9 successes on 2+, D3 damage is 7.8 average wounds getting through. No trading with some people for an extra D3 mortal wounds.

So you get half of them on the first volley then kill the rest on the next turn.

WHFB had a very enclose and immutable setting. Making narrative games almost never felt right.

The fact that Chaos is evil for the sake of being evil.
In 40k Chaos has a purpose, and there are plenty of characters with a tragic backstory that make you understand why they fall to chaos.
Characters believe in it.
Based on personal moral belief, you could even cheer for Chaos, and it's fascinating.

In AoS they are just the plain bad guys that want power and some shit like that.

>Goblins are da shit
>Tzeentch is my homeboy and hes back in town too

The Bad
> most the people at my GW play 40k
> i want to know where the fuck settra is and why GW fucked my glorious tomb king army.

I really hope that settra finds Rhamotep and then he comes back with beautifully new sculpted Egytpian deities from the magical rocks in sigmar land so that he can rebuild his body and rample chaos beneath monstrous scorpion statues (think ariels beatle but better) or some shit fuck im high lol

Its 80 you miss them all then reroll them all.
you hit on a 6 at -2 for 13.3
wound roll at 3+ is 8.85 made
3+ save means 2.94 go through.

You can also easily just run it for 6 Khemist and 140 shots if were talking about full ass cheese scenarios like double paladins.

Stormcast eternals. It's nice seeing the "good guys" finally have an answer to the endless hordes of AHNOLD sized barbarians that isn't some "peasants defending their home against impossible odds" HFY faggotry
Also Seraphon doing what Those lazy fuck lizardmen should have been doing in fantasy
>least favorite
Archaon being wanked into the single strongest character in the setting by far

Also, skaven being fully part of chaos pantheon and not their own somewhat neutral faction. In fantasy they sided with anyone willing, even if they weren't chaos corrupted

Back in the early days of ghb they really weren't match for stormcasts. Teleporting guys who come, what, 5" of you?

Now you wanderers have a slightly better chance of not dying instantly and they might even win objective based matches. But if you head on against stormcasts, you can pick your models off the table pretty much instantly.

So far the rules aren't the problem for me, but the jargon involved with list building and keeping track of the new names for everything.

Not bad at all. Base looks great actually.

My suggestion going forward would be to work on the consistency of your basecoats. Multiple thin coats of colour to get a completely even and consistent coverage.

Hello, AoS. Newfriend to the game here - I've only just decided to take the plunge and start building my own army, and as such, I had a few questions.

First off is, do you guys regret buying and assembling stuff that turns out to be too weak to be competitive in your gaming enviroment?

Second is, do you guys regret spending money on large numbers of poorly painted, clunky, antiquated second-hand models instead of smaller handfuls of brand-spanking new, latest-edition models?

These are choices I am forced to make soon. I know it will be my own desires ruling the decision in the end, but it would be a comfort to me if I could hear your experiences with these nooblet worries.
>>
Is anyone else profoundly sad that we won't be able to make fun of 40k with its atrocious rules any longer?

>>53108448
>First off is, do you guys regret buying and assembling stuff that turns out to be too weak to be competitive in your gaming enviroment?
I'm sure some are, but they are the cancer of the hobby and you shouldn't succumb to their standards. Miniature beauty > fun on the tabletop > effectiveness
>Second is, do you guys regret spending money on large numbers of poorly painted, clunky, antiquated second-hand models instead of smaller handfuls of brand-spanking new, latest-edition models?
Uh, no? A bottle of alcohol and a toothbrush work wonders.

1. Hell no, I enjoy building, and painting(even if im new to it) as equally as playing. Plus, it sometimes it's fun to bring a unit someone wasnt expecting to a game.

2. Yes. I did, but that may stem from my love of painting and assembling. They don't feel like mine. I have a pool of old ass Fire Warriors and Devilfish for my 40K Tau army, and they don't feel like they match or fit.
>>
>>53108480
>Uh, no? A bottle of alcohol and a toothbrush work wonders.

R-really? Wow. I'd better look into these "2000 points of second-hand bitz for 100€" deals closer then.
>>
>>53108480

Pouring so much time and effort into something you think looks cool only to have it get wrecked every game because it has sub par rules is soul destroying.

Presenting an argument that suggests people who don't want to do this as being some kind of low tier hobby destroying waacfag whilst putting yourself on some kind of ludicrous "true gamer" pedestal isn't just retarded it's dishonest.

You are the cancer.

As so, there is a good chance this will be fixed in the next General's Handbook

Choose the models you like, there is no point in choosing them for power in a meta that changes every year.

Maybe you should try growing up and not putting your self worth into a game with toy soldiers

>>53107163
Waystone Pathfinder formation guarantees you 100% to get the first shot against whatever unit you wish wish. After that you have to rely on either fast cav to snag objectives or Eternal Guard to hold your points.

I think I like the other guy's advice better. He managed to not lapse from basic human decency while presenting his opinion on the matter. It lends him a higher level of credibility, by far.

That aside, this poster does remind me of that story about GW officials and players being commonly banned from cons. I should count myself lucky for having such a good-spirited local crew.

>People who disagree with me are cancer

This is the argument you are saying didn't lapse human decency. And what the fuck does GW employees and being banned from cons have to do with anything?

Convincing people to spend money and time on something that they will get almost no use out of on the basis that it somehow makes them a higher order of hobbyist is dishonest and top tier shill behavior.

If you are ok with that then there is something wrong with you and your "local crew" of cretins.

>>53108761

>being emotionally invested in your hobby is bad

Why are you even here?
>>
>>53101434
>The fact that Chaos is evil for the sake of being evil.

I should note that even in the long, absolute rule of Chaos, the realms holden to chaos were never run to extinction of human life.

This cannot be said for sure for the real world, and its complete lack of nonhuman powers of evil.
>>
>>53108385
Don't try to use consistent brush strokes. Essentially brush through the air across it with a small amount of paint on the brush. Several small strokes are neater than one big one and you should need two coats to get the full colour if you've thinned your paint enough
