my friend wants to play lizardmen when TWWH2 comes out
how do I explain to him that it's not what decent respectable people do, and that he should pick elves or skaven.
he doesn't understand...

>>53269416
decent people picking elves?

never have I ever known a 'decent human' to play elves on the tabletop.
angry lizards are fine

>>53269501
"decent" as in "decent IRL", not "decent by meme standards", sorry

Bunch of new units that was never on the tabletop, are being added.Inlucding savage Cold One hordes, and Bastildon Cleansing Crystals.

How do conflicts in the Empire works? Got a party wanting to be mercenaries for an upcoming game during the Age of Three emperors

>>53269856
Does it ever annoy anyone else when they include units without shields, that are clearly inferior and will be skipped over? Just adds unnecessary padding to the roster.

>>53270760
Cost less in MP and Campaign and have different roles such as missile fodder and tarpits

>>53270803
But units with shields are better at both roles, and sometimes the cost difference is as little as a hundred gold.

>>53270742

Check out what Mordheim fluff you can.

As i recall the basis of that game was set in a succession schism between Marienburg, Reikland and Middenheim. Though now i think about it it's probably pretty irrelevant to the actual game so probably little info on that stuff.

>>53270853
Different builds tho

Some builds call for a weak ass frontline while you send hulked out Cav or Skirmishers or a fully upgraded caster lord in

That 100 gold builds up and is usually better spent on Chevrons or Items

>>53270853
a hundred gold means you can buy more xp on your actual heavy units.

>no salamanders

You had one job

Red pill me on Chaos Trolls and Ogres

>>53272255

They're alright but a fuck on to get a hold of the models.

>>53272503
No one uses actual Chaos Ogres when there's an entire plastic line.

What are the chances of gw releasing new beastmen minis? I feel like they're the least popular Warhammer army but I just don't want them to stop selling the current set half way through my army build.

>>53272547

Well I would use Blighknights, but Trolls are the better of the two and they're pretty expensive models.

>>53268133
Kek

>>53271523
Tomb Kings don't use necromancy as such, it's more like Divine magic.

>>53272556

Pretty slim, there plastics aren't that old. If anything gets updated it will be the resin kits.

I wouldn't worry, I think the range will now stay stable for the next few years.

>>53270760
Iunno I have roles for both units in my armies. If I'm up against elves I need spears with shields, up against vampire counts? Spears no shields.

>>53272657
Am I correct in assuming that beastmen are the least popular army? Mwg YouTube channel has 200 battle reports for 8th and only one beastmen army bat rep

>>53272917

Yeah, there was a poll a few years ago that ranked all the armies and I think Beastmen were 2nd off bottom behind Tomb Kings.

>>53272917
>>53272969

To be brutally honest, I was always of the opinion that Chaos should have stayed as a common books, ie. demons, mortals and mutants all in one book. GW seem to be going back to this and I think beastmen will therefore always have a place in the future, it's honestly better for them this way, it means they won't get left behind and many of the monsters are interchangeable anyway.

>>53272917
I love that beastmen are in the game to fight against, and they'll wreck my shit if I'm not fast enough to catch them when they do pop up. I just never ever play them.

Might give them a few goes on multiplayer to mix things up.

They always we're the least popular.Thanks to their potrayal in Total War, however, it seems their finally getting the respect they deserve.

Why though? Ogres go up to S6.

>>53269886
I play High Elves.

I have great hygine, am humble in victory and defeat, and suck at playing so the advantage granted in old edition was moot.
Also I play T9A where High Elves are not very good because I give no fucks about winning.

>>53271523
Tomb King "necromancy" is priestly magic granted by their gods. Its closer to Light.

Necromancy is Dark Magic, a volatile mix of the darker magic lores, mostly Death.

Agreed.

>>53274151

Once you give an Ogre a mark and a GW they're about 45 points, a Troll is 35 points, has regeneration and strikes at S5 which is pretty much the same as S6 against 90% of stuff.

the real question is regarding total warhammer lizardmen have a berserk mechanic (which was in older total wars, where they stopped listening to commands and just killed stuff)

I wonder if the developers will spruce up older factions since they are incorporating them all into the battle royalle eventually.

We should have destroyed Norsca, every man woman and child, many years ago!

*shouting*

Enough! Dietershafen is lost, and our northern allies have failed us. Where was the last report of his whereabouts?

My spies tell me that his forces have moved to the east, we must expect an attack on Erengrad!

This is nonsense, no attack is coming - Kislev controls Troll Country. He's not attacking, he's making allies! At this very moment he courts the One-Eye, the Beastmen! The warherds will rise up against us and the Drakwald will be lost once more!

Ridiculous! Middenland won't stand for it! Our forces have sole military access to their forests. I believe the attack will come from the Chaos Wastes themselves - he intends to travel across the World's Edge Mountains, and into Ostermark - Sylvania will revolt, and sweep across from the east

Thats wild speculation!

He will come not from the north, nor the east - our traders in the south report that he has forged an alliance with the tribes of the Bjornling. He intends to circumnavigate the Empire and sail his army-

To the Badlands perhaps!

He would lose half his army to attrition alone! The other half would desert!

We must defend Blackfire Pass!

And do you expect the orcs to welcome him when he arrives?

I suppose he will bring with hem, an army of Chariots!

Elector Counts, I dare say that would be quite a feat, even for the great Surtha Ek.

>>53274324
Also, for the Lizardmen, that was limited to units outside the General's aura (or Skink Chieftain's)

the Orcs are the ones who really needed something like that from the original races, tactics are for pansies, as random animosity is not happening any time

So, I was wondering, who the fuck are Pha and Shem and some of the other named folks in the 8th edition spells? That one Lore of Death spell that summons a Ghost Girl and the other one that's Tasha's Hideous Laughter give a blurb as to who the fuck they are referencing, but the others don't.

There's only like 12 Steam Tanks, right? Only eight of which were still around at the nebulous 'present' prior to the End Times, right? Are there any information on the names and details of those eight? I seem to remember a White Dwarf article from back when like when I was first getting into Warhams. Plus I know they did publish some variants.

>>53283357

I Would have a look though Reaper Mini's collection of adventurers. Ral Partha may also have some stuff.

I always thought the Witch King model from Heroquest was a good substitute.

>>53280805

54mm is just a scale, it's usually seen as the largest scale of miniature war-gaming, very few people use it now but in the early days (1900's) it was more common as people war-gamed outside or on the floor. .

The oldest war games were typically played in people's gardens so the minis had to be big enough to not get lost.

>>53269416

Well, skaven elves and lizarmen are 3 different kind of OP:

>Elves are magical snowflake op

>Skaven are horde armies and bullshit items op

>Lizardmen are incredibly though and reliable op

>>53271396

That model actually looks better withouth that shit slapped on it, and the engine of the gods would make a fine terrain element

>>53272917

they got shit upon for a long long time, which is quite sad, since they had some brutal combos back in the 7th.

They still pack a punch in 8th, but not so much as they used to.

>>53274726

Predatory got you a few extra attacks, but you HAD to pursue unless you had a skin hero in 6''.

Which was actually the only real drawback of the lizardmen, you could bait them out of position quite easily

>>53272556

They seem more intent on creating kits for the god specific Beastmen. Of course they may have simply done this for Tzaangors because they fit in well with Tzeentch. What they've shown of the upcoming Death Guard seems like they're going to rely more on cultists and/or Plague Zombies than Pestigors.

>>53272986

They're only really doing that with god specific books and in some ways I think it's a step back because the books seemingly either focus more on one side or the other or give middling attention to both sides.

Disregard scale.

Anyone who uses oldhammer minis is out of scale anyway.

>>53267841

What's the overall consensus on using different bases? Would /tg/ have a fit if I brought Phoenix Guard on 20x20, not 25x25 bases?

Too cheesy?

I like the smaller bases for aesthetic reasons.

Likewise would a Saurus Scar Veteran work on a 20x20 base if he's in a skink battalion? If not, why? Is it really game breaking?

Its wholly up to your community.

Consider transparent bases?

>>53272917
If they had been furbait I can guarantee you they would be really popular-- with certain people.

Fortunately Total Warhammer did them justice and people are finally noticing them again.

>>53284484
I know about 54mm as a scale. I've got Britain figures in my collection. But this is specifically suggestions in a 1984 rule book to use existing 54mm fantasy miniatures. The Colossi talks of a using a plastic Dwarf, and if it's supposed to be gigantic, and the layout looks very much like 2nd Edition, then this can't be referring to the Fantasy Regiments box set.

Then again, saying it at all was pretty progressive.

Its like the crows from Dumbo. On one hand they're a bit overplayed, not to mention the "Jim Crow" pun being a bit painful, but the fact that they had actual black voice actors was a MASSIVE step forward.

to give you an example pic related is a bundle of my brushes. the largest one is only suitable for applying varnish. finger shown for scale.

>>53289251
Yes.

In the OP, you'll find download links for our collection of resources. Look for Unifirms And Heraldry Of The Empire. Also worth grabbinh the older Empire books if you're interested, which have alternate schemes and symbols.

You can probably just call it Reikland rather than Reikwald. Altdorf isn't technically part of Reikland (It's an independent city-state but since it's ruled by KF as well the distinction is meaningless).

What other plans do you have for the mod? It's a shame that the map itself is basically hardcoded. I'd love some kind of retardedly lore-accurate mod. It rustles my jimmies that Kemperbad is part of Talabecland.

Can you charge if you come on the table as a reserve, ambusher, or returning from chasing a unit off the table, or do you have to wait until the next turn?

oh, well anon you could go down the path of resin bases, pic related are 2 resin bases I got and painted. they are cheap off ebay and turn out pretty neat.

If it matters they were for a chaos spaw. and a steamtank respectively.

anything wrong with using some black rustoleum spray paint for priming my minis?

>>53296318
is it shiny?
long as it's a dull black and not thick enough to hide detail I don't see why it would matter.

so I finally made one of those papercraft warhammer models, printed on the wrong paper, with the wrong glue.

still could have turned out worse. I did have to use an entire cookie box to reinforce it structually.

If I wanted to put together an army based around The Black Prince, would it be your traditional Vampire faire, human units since he's technically a Border Prince, a mixture of undead and living?

What would it look like?

>>53299073
I noticed that in the lore he's careful to ride out alone, and wants to keep the truth of his state hidden - he wouldn't want any of his subjects to see him as a vampire. So I would actually avoid human units at all, but focus on mainly what a lone Strigoi could possibly raise/gather on the way to an engagement. Some zombies, some ghouls, maybe grave guard that he'd hidden around the borders of his domain, wolves, or spirits that he gathered up on the way?

Why is Gotrek & Felix so comfy?

Talabecheim also has a different scheme from the province it is in, its scheme is red and white while I think Talabecland is red and yellow.

Anons, fellow autists, I intend to run a Warhammer Fantasy rpg game with an all dwarf party.

The goal is to try and retake a dwarf hold, the group starts as slayers, and when they die they role actual dwarf characters rather than a slayer.

WHat would good career choices be, also which hold should they go after? Hard Mode would be Karak Varn.

Any Ideas?

>>53299073
Depends the theme you want to give him. Secluded vampire trying to hide his vampirism or leader of men ?

>>53298106

Looks pretty good, I'm a big fan of the MDF terrain.

>>53294222
So what would the region around Altdorf be called?

It would be pretty easy to represent the smaller towns by unique building chains with the town names.
>>53299909
thank you for that information.

>>53298106
Is that Fat Dragon terrain ?

>>53299933
There's already a module themed similarly to that, Karak Azgal, that you should look into. Why not have their goal be to "beat" that scenario, and retake the hold?

I'm basically trying to work out how many points I need to field a screaming bell (due to the lords must not be more than X percent of your force etc etc)

I've just gotten back into modelling- still waiting on the last of my primer to start painting, but I'm pleased with what I'm done so far- gotten a few beastman Gors done, part of a Chaos Chariot, a Wight King, a few Grave Guard... and pic related.

I had nearly forgotten how fun it was to put models together, doing some customization, and imaging the painting.

Not to mention how calming it is to do so in the calm of the night with a nice cigar. I feel relaxed for the first time in weeks.

neat anon, idk how you glue without priming you madman though.

I'm converting Grave Guard an I could use some help.
1) what would be a fitting musical instrument? drums don't feel elite enough and horn is retarded on creatures with no lungs

2) I need ideas for macabre/spooky/edgy banner. I have GW's Skeleton/Grave Guard/Balck Knight banners, a lot of WoC banners, and I like none of them. I want something more evil
>but anon, we dunno what your GG look like or what you want
just gimme ideas, okay?

>>53301714
You prime first? How the hell do you get the bits properly held in place, let alone fit them together later?

I just do a full prime then touch up any uncovered areas by hand.

>>53301749
Drums are sorta THE military instrument... if you cut out drums and anything that uses lungs... lyres? Harps? String instruments are your own remaining option.

For a really evil banner- may I suggest a skeletal hand clutching a bleeding heart?

>>53301750
well anon I score all the contact points anyway for extra grip, I find it really hard to paint chests and underarms with the bits together

Am I better off getting season one, then later adding season two to my collection or skipping straight to season two?

Rib xylophone, but may be too dumb and cheesy for what you are looking for, don't see why wouldn't you go with drums, they are intimidating, practical and very fitting for a skeleton, another reasonable option could be a rusty, bronze bell, great if going for a graveyard theme

>banner
How many bits you got? body part wind chime alongside some drawn skull banner may be edgy enough and reasonable, alongside a generous dried blood drenching on the lower parts

If you want to go all out with the conversion, add some spooky trapped faces in the banner

>>53301467

Well a Dwarf airship pretty much does all that but without needing 7 delicate and expensive machines.

Nice classics, what edition are they from?

anyone else feels intense regret that WHFB was killed off without exploring most of it?
I feel a bit jealous looking at AoS as its getting some bizzarre fluff, even if most of it is shitty, and that makes me wonder what could've been in the wide Warhammer world had it not been killed
Fyreslayers may be crap, but couldn't there be other dwarfish cultures in other regions of the world? Or elven enclaves, like Athel Loren? Or whole new races?
It's such a shame we'll never know and all that creative potential is going on to making Warcraft Space Marines.

Can't seem to find any real clarification on this in the book or google: can I have a standard, bsb, champion, and general in the same unit
What if my front line is full, can I move a champ or musician to the second row? The situation is I have my general on a Rogre bonebreaker in a unit of storm vermin with all of those. It's a 50x50 and with all that shit, I just can't get it all in the front row of 5, so am I forced to lose a rank in the back and make it ranks of 7?

>>53303025
yes, you can have them all in one unit, some Bretonnian and Ogre builds rely on that.

technically, musician and standard bearer take precendence over characters in regard of being in the first rank (which is handily exploited by Ogre Gutstars), however the characters have Make Way rule, which allows them to move into base contact with enemy unit in combat... which translates into them being in the first rank when it matters. No one will care if you keep the Bonebreaker in the first rank all the time.

tl;dr
yes, you can have them all
yes, musician and standard bearer can go second rank

>>53303331

Jesus anon, are you really so lacking in imagination?

We have an entire map and a few brush strokes, use that to make what you want.

If they detailed every inch of the world there would always be some guy saying 'ugh I wanted the Chinese to be more like X than Y'. Well the region is a blank canvas, make it as you will and nobody can tell you it's not canon.

I sometimes wonder if people these days would remember to breath without GW telling them to.

>>53303475
you're absolutely right
i'll quit reading books and watching movies and playing video games right away
why consume other people's creations when I can imagine my own?
/sarcasm_mode_off

Warhammer is just A world, not THE world. Why would I imagine non-canon bullshit about someone else's world, when I can make up my own worlds (which I do), where I won't have to conform to things already in place?
But why on earth shouldn't I wonder how WHFB could've turned out? It's their vision, not mine, and it would've been different from I could've imagined in their place. And it's a shame I will never see it.

tl;dr
you're retarded

>>53277176
BY SIGMAR, NO!

>>53303530

You sound a bit insecure anon.

> I love to consume other people's stories and make up my own.
> Why would I imagine non-canon bullshit in someone else's creation.

You seem to have contradicted yourself.

Warhammer is a setting like middle-earth and like middle-earth it was impossible for them to detail every inch of the world in any great depth, and why should they and rob the readers of any sense of creation?

Lord of the Rings and the many Warhammer novels are narratives in that setting.

Remember the distinction between them.

>>53303530
Not the one your responding to, but your an ass. If we go by what your saying, then you may only play whfb (or any gane) so long as it is a reenactment of an already won battle, to which you know the outcome.
I know I'd feel pretty shitty if we were replaying the battle for lustria, and my skaven actually won, but you wall in and say "well...since in the books lizards won, it dosnt count.". You better believe we are having a campaign set with lizardmen reclaimed against skaven with old god tech. You can just sulk if you want, but we will be over here having fun with timeliness that don't end in AoS.

>>53303421
So some material gives Karl Franz the title of Prince of Altdorf and some gives it as Grand Prince. Which would imply that it is the Principality or Grand Principality of Altdorf. However, Reikland is also sometimes called the Grand Principality of Reikland so that adds to the confusion.

Historically Altdorf would be termed an Imperial Immediacy. You could also call it the Imperial Free City of Altdorf.

Basically it's not set in stone, so you can pick which one you prefer. There isn't a separate name in any case - the lands immediately surrounding Altdorf come under its jurisdiction

>>53303747

Well said, anyone who looks at AoS and feel jealousy as that anon did has serious issues.

Coming up with your own stories and narratives in the wider brush strokes of the Warhammer world is what it's all about.

Middle-Earth is in Tolkien's writing and that's it. Anything not covered by him is "here be dragons". Only his yet unreleased writings can fill that in.

what's bad in being interested in other peoples' visions? why cannibalize others settings to write my own stuff?

>>53303747
that's not the same and not what I was talking about.

I wondered what GW would've made and said its a shame we'll never know.

A battle, a campaign, Your Dudes backstory - is different, just like an RPG game. It's self-contained. It doesn't become canon, it just branches from it.

>>53303780
I shouldn't be jealous that their setting is alive and getting new ideas, even if they are shitty?

In oldhammer, all continuity is "canon" because the rulebook specified the core setting is nothing more than a base for your own FLGS continuity.

Furthermore, White Dwarf used to feature the fan creations and make them canon. The one that stands out in my mind is a Von Carstein a guy made for 5e, which was ripped off and became nuMannfred.

do cannonballs hit everything between their bounces? (8e)

>>53307877

Resolve the hits one at a time along the ball's path after the bounce. If it ever fails to kill the thing it his, it stops. Otherwise, yes, it hits everything along that line.

>>53307916
i thought only monstrous infantry/beasts could stop the cannonball if they dont die. it's unlikely that an infantry with 1 wound could survive but if they did, would it stop?

Pretty sure if they are not in the direct path (being that the front arc is a cone) you can place the shot normally (unless you have expendable rules or life is cheap rules, then fuck the slaves).

>Nominate a point within the war machines line of sight and not outside of its maximum range. Your target does not have to be an enemy model; It can be a point on the ground if you wish.

Does it make sense to run them 4x2 to maximize the number of attacks, or shouldI always go for max ranks unless I'm going horde?

sure, go for max attacks
who cares if the rat ogres break sooner or later if they murder a lot of dudes before?

It's not bad, but it still looks more 'Empire' than 'Cathay.' Really the only problem is the breastplate - a bit of greenstuff could have made it look more like lamellar or leather.

The players in the game I'm GMing have to capture a fanatic (he won't give up trying to escape) alive and I'm wondering how to go about this. The party has gotten Lasso's, Man-catchers, and whips in order to do this but what's to stop the target from continuing to struggle until he is eventually free?

Is Cathay supposed to be based on a Ming/Qing aesthetic or a mishmash of random Chinese dynasties with some noticeable psuedo-Japanese elements?

It's really hard to say, since there's so little lore on Cathay, and most of what little does exist is vague or very old - and even then, almost no pictures. We have more text about Cathayan forces than pictures.

I mostly guess it's Ming/Qing (and that's personally what I prefer), since that is about the right time period, but it could easily mix up a bunch of things from various Chinese dynasties, and even a little of Korea. Japan it's harder to say - at some points it feels like they're referencing it, but Nippon also has a fairly established place in the lore.

I also wouldn't be surprised if it was just 'fantasy China,' in that it's barely based on anything actually Chinese at all. Written lore about them does include a lot of references to things far beyond real history.

Posting two more bits of lore - I'm not posting them in consequential order, but they don't connect to each other exactly anyway. They all seem to be from the same book.

Quick question. Does the Witchcraft talent allow someone to learn spells from multiple lores or just one?

Hey guys, anyone interested, or know of an online skype or chat based Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2nd edition) game going on? I'd love to get in on a new group or new campaign atleast. I haven't played the RP game yet, so the group has to be willing to take on a newbie!

Anyone know of any? OR better yet, perhaps looking to start a group with me? I live on the East coast, and would love to get something going on weekends, or times after work if on a weekday. Anyone know of anything?

Ming/Qin is indeed the best period to base Cathay off, though mostly because I'm sick of Three Kingdoms stuff.

And in any case, with the lore of terracota soldiers you could easily make those in the shape of Han dinasty soldiers, sort of like how Vampire Count skellies wear armor from pre-empire tribes. Delicious anachronism that makes sense.

The only range that could be used a proxy is the Perry's Choson Korean and even then that's stretching it.

Shame there isn't actually any 28mm Ming/Qing ranges to kitbash with(I don't even want to think of making brigandine/lamellar conversions).

>first box of minis and paints coming in tomorrow

excite!!!!!!!!

>>53316926
I agree with you pretty much completely; Three Kingdoms stuff can be great for getting a fantastical feel, but sometimes it seems like people forget that there's more to China's history. Even the Song Dynasty could be reliably meshed in, especially if one wanted to make it feel just a little archaic compared to the Old World - like how Bretonnia is often set up as being, with magic supporting outdated knights and peasant levies. Only Cathay seems to have a lot of statues and fireworks and such.

>>53317255
Congrats anon, what are you getting?

>>53315681
That is a extremely highly stylized brigandine, which was the armor of choice at the time of the Ming and early Qing. As for elements, I'd say he has Tzeentch elements, not Japanese...

Its mostly a matter of whatever the hell you want it to be though because it was never fleshed out.

>>53318537
Also, of note, one of the most striking things about Ming soldiers is that they don't have huge pauldrons, like their enemies the Manchu and the Japanese did. see:
>>53317071

Not that it really matters in a fantasy setting where you can combine them with the Manchu, whose hair is legendary.

>>53318537
>As for elements, I'd say he has Tzeentch elements, not Japanese...
The quip on the Japanese is a reference to the fluff that mentions "emerald green back-banners" and "long blades of thousand-folded iron" etc.

>>53318607
>Also, of note, one of the most striking things about Ming soldiers is that they don't have huge pauldrons, like their enemies the Manchu and the Japanese did.
Even the Manchus by in large wore the same equipment as their Ming adversaries,brigandine shoulder guards were used during the tail end of the dynasty iirc.

>Not that it really matters in a fantasy setting where you can combine them with the Manchu, whose hair is legendary.
Yea,I don't mind Warhammer's version of Cathay where historical tropes are turned up to 11.

Unfortunately,most of the historical ranges are a thousand year too early for this sort of Ming/Qing aesthetic.

Some of the great painters on here and /wip/ will probably kill me but I only ever had 3 brushes. I had a fine detail, a size 1 brush and then something slightly larger for doing monsters or large surface areas.

The reason I say this is because I am of the opinion that buying a handful of good quality brushes is better than buying a quantity of bad brushes.

It would not be recognisable to us now, they used cannons that fired actual projectiles, and what it hit in real life it hit in the game. You moved as much as you could move in a set amount of time, there wasn't very much abstraction, or less than we are used to today.

>>53320839
bah, my first wargame had cannons that actually fired projectiles and hit what they hit

it was 15 years ago and it was made by Zvezda. it think it is still sold

>>53308668

Probably not as the musician needs to be able to control the rhythm of what he's playing.

But this is fantasy and so you can do what looks cool.

>>53320854

It would still work with metal 54mm as he used, I think if we started hurling metal ball-bearings into our enemies £500 Dark Elf army they would probably want to throttle us.

>>53320874
Zvezda one had plastic 54mm minis and plastic missiles. pretty safe

There's usually a BBG up but maybe it's gone to a weekend only thread.

The death zone season 2 book supplements the first. Each book contains a number of new teams, new star players and some optional rules. So yes they both have different information and you'll need them both if you want all the rules. I think DZS2 is the only place to get rules for the Goblin team.

If you're just starting I would only buy the base game, you get all the rules for the two teams there. Then once you decide what teams you like you can pick which books you want.

>>53320810
Tbh, 3 brushes is enough for any non-professional painting

Still, I'd add a fourth one for drybrushing

>>53302192
A small, degenerate ghoul could probably be posed to doot a horn while crouching on the same base as one of the grave guard.

>>53306298
Definite departure from the originals, but I'm okay with it. Its a shame that the Kroxigor pictured is no longer chained to his weapon to prevent him from losing/forgetting it, which is a delightful detail on the models.

>>53319132

I will try and make unique buildings that represent smaller towns and buildings.

Aren't the annuals just compiled material from White Dwarf?
Maybe take a look in the WD archives then?

10/10, it's nice to know where the Dwarf Choirmaster's flavor text in Total War Warhammer is derived from. The developers clearly did their research! Also,

What is the current state of fantasy? Is it transforming into a more solid tactical game with community involvement like epic or is it just GW;s broken meta version?
