I'm posting this guys unit fill because I thought it was cool and it was posted at the death of last thread.

>>53802141
Just convert Total War Warhammer to tabletop rules.

>>53802141
There are already two '9th' editions, we dont need a third

>>53802994
>>53803019

Yeah but they're both shit and based off 8th edition.

Who would win in a fight - the Chaos Dwarves, or Skaven? I'm thinking specifically about their relatively advanced tech compared to the rest of the setting.

So grace confirmed the race will launch in July or August. When do you think we'll get a trailer?

>>53803561

Probably Skaven because CD are such an elite army and they would struggle to fight such a numerous enemy, regular Dwarfs usually struggle against them and CD are even rarer than them.

TW:W2 is coming out at the end of September.

We may see some Skaven stuff at E3.

>>53802197
He does look pretty cool - the shields and the hat are a nice touch. I wish there were some straps or something to help explain how the shields are sticking to him, though.

>>53805207
Don't forget that Chaos Dwarves do make use of Hobgoblin auxiliaries.

Can somebody explain to me, the lores of magic. Specifically, are there more lores than the eight lores that correspond to the eight collages of magic in the Empire.
Are there more lores apart from these eight, the lores of chaos, necromancy and high magic? Also, what kind of spells does high magic provide?

>>53805347

They do but one sign of weakness in the CD and they would rebel, the Skaven could probably work up a deal with them and cause a slave revolt.

So Creative Assembly said this about the new race pack

"But what you will see in our next Race Pack is us expanding into some new and exciting areas not touched on by the core IP, but still with Games Workshops approval and in keeping with the core of the Warhammer universe."

Since this is going to have original units and lore, what does anyone hope for CA's fully relised Norsca that wasn't in tabletop? I want werewolves, Huscarls, and Norscan Headhunters. Along with Mammoths and Ettins.

>>53805462

This is actually quite exciting, have they done an E3 panel today or something?

This makes me think it could be Amazons or something, since FW have covered a lot of the Norsecan stuff.

Alternatively Araby would make sense since they kind of need them and they did have a Warmaster range.

>>53805368
Well, you've basically got it - there are more lores than the ones the Colleges of Magic use, because other races developed different systems of magic than the simplified version designed for humans by elves, meant to only use one wind of magic at a time - Ghyran, Azur, Shyish, etc.

High Magic can be thought of as the use of all the eight winds of magic at once, like a rainbow. Dhar is sort of a dark mirror of High Magic - it's mixing all the lores together, but in more of a black sludge, less refined than High Magic, more raw. Necromancy makes use of dhar. Some magics are unique to certain races or factions - the Ogres use a crude sort of magic called the Lore of the Great Maw that revolves around eating, Kislev uses Ice magic, the Dwarves forswear most uses of magic and instead use Rune Magic, inscribing magic runes on objects to 'pin' the magic to the object, which is more stable but less powerful. There's even Divine magic provided by deities and not technically from any of the winds, like what Warrior Priests or Tomb Kings use.

>>53805368
It's worth pointing out that there are only eight 'winds' or 'colours' of magic, but there are more lores.
The other lores are either combinations of winds or magic from different sources, usually a higher power acting as a kind of intermediary for the 'wizard'.

For instance, the Ice Magic of Kislev comes from the land itself, personified as the 'Ancient Widow'. Realm of the Ice Queen heavily implies that the Ancient Widow is actually the Goddess of Law, Arianka.
Waaagh Magic is possibly borne out of the collective greenskin consciousness.
And so on.

I got some ironbreakers recently, I had no idea they were AOS, it did not mention sigmar anywhere on the packaging.

I had never bought anything Warhammer before, and thought it might be an old set left behind.

They're still pretty cool looking, but I do also like the aesthetic of the previous editions of dwarfs.

Is it pretty impossible to find them without paying a ridiculous sum, or paying for models someone else put together?

>>53802141
Its called The 9th Age

>>>53796742

No one comes before an Estalian, senor, excepting your wife, of course. Quite loudly, I might add.

>>53807353
Honestly eBay and Batteries your best bets. I personally was able to pick up a lot of the old metal 6th rd dwarfs just by picking the right actions.

But to still the metal stuff isn't terrible. Old longbeards usually sell for about 30-35 on eBay, which is below MSRP really

>>53807532
Bartertown, damn you autocorrect

>>53807549
>>53807532

thanks, I really don't have an interest in WH40k 2

so at least there's still some way of finding proper fantasy miniatures

>>53809197
ironbreakers are exactly the same in sigmar as they are in fantasy just change the bases

>>53807353

If you mean the old Anglo-Saxon aesthetic you can still buy Dwarf warriors which have chainmail, for old Ironbreakers you'll need to scour eBay. I don't mind their new look though since Gromril was always implied to be plate armour in the later sources.

So what sort of magic do the Tomb Kings use? Is it a sort of proto-necromancy? Some of the fluff around Nagash implies that his use of the Winds of Magic themselves wasn't done before - considered the territory of the gods - and it seems like the Mortuary Cult's rituals are less around specifically raising the dead as much as placing souls into objects, which could be dead bodies or into statues, so it might not be necromancy per se.

And on another note, where do they get their bodies from? A bit of fluff early in the 8th edition army book claims that they have twice as many dead as those that live in the Old World, but surely some skeletons get broken beyond repair, and for obvious reasons they cannot produce more, and I think it's implied by the fact that each Skeleton Warrior is serving out of loyalty to their lord, they can't just raise any old skeleton like Vampires do. Is there a serious chance that Nekhara could run out of skeletons (ignoring the 'as many elves as the plot demands' part of fluff)?

>>53813104
in the gotrex and felix book: tomb queen gets the warm and dusty for felix. It's stated that the great mortuary cult of the tomb kings can repair damaged bones/kings to a state where it matches what was before, I'd imagine the implication is a heap of 'damaged' 'dead' bones or invader bones are used as a sort of replacement for what cannot be outright magic'd better due to that.

The reason for the twice as many dead is every single Nekherran that ever lived is locked inside their tombs waiting for settra to give them the thumbs up to go outside, they have infinite armies of the dead but the dead serve infinite kings of infinite dynasties.

Hope that makes sense anon

Which centuries does Warhammer takes its inspiration from?

>>53813973
Brets 13-14 centuries
The rest of Old World 15-16 centuries

>>53807415
>It's called the 9th Cancer.

FTFY. 9th Age is cancer and its dev-team have drunk the kool-aid and made a pile of dung. The fact that they are making a setting out of that, which can at best be described as Soft-Hammer (and at worse generic piece of shit) is another insult too.

>>53805380
Hobgoblins don't rebel, it's in the fluff that they've been bred so that's they're incapable of rebelling.

>>53805462
I hope someone mods it out, I want to play real Warhammer, not homebrew Warhammer.

>>53815564
Don't know where that came frm, but on WFRP at least they're noted to be the most treacherous greenskins there are, considered dishonest and untrustworthy even by goblin standards. They're not slaves of the dawi zharr either, but mercenaries.

>>53802141
It's KoW

>>53816521
It's a debate
Some say 6th, others 2nd, some 7th
A lot of people dislike 8th but I quite like it myself; having the big armies run around on the board just feels right
>>53815230
I remember when 9th age came out and /whfb/ was optimistic about it, what changed I wonder

>>53816521

Kings of War.

>>53816521
I'm going to be the bad man and say 8th, a lot of different ways to run empire armies and still win

>>53815564

There's been loads of Hobgoblin rebellions? They're even more devious than Goblins.

Does anybody have any experience in WFRP 2nd edition, with creating your own magical items - both as loot/rewards but also players crafting their own? I got some ideas for items myself, but if they would be horribly overpowered to give the PCs.

And while on the subject of magic items. What kind of magical items would the lizardmen have, and what effects would they produce?

>>53815626
>>53817544
Yes I was wrong and I can admit it because I'm anonymous.

>>53816521

5th was the last edition before Warhammer started taking itself too seriously. It gets called Herohammer but you could certainly play it non-competitively.

6th was good. I have a lot of comfy memories of when everyone was using get-you-by Ravening Hordes lists.

7th had a lot of codex creep. Dark Elves and Daemons wrecked everyone's shit.

8th was right to allow everyone to fight and to encourage bigger units, but they went overboard with it. Having to make infantry units of 40 guys really priced a lot of people out of the game. The massive magical nukes flying around pretty much forced you to take a wizard as your lord choice.

>>53817527
The 6th edition had the crusade army, the Sigmarite army, the artillery train, the cult of Ulric and the army of Middenland all as separate lists.

>>53817611
just get a couple of their army books and peep their magic items. Only one I know of off hand was the blade of leaping gold, a kopesh that gave its user 3 more attacks

>>53817671
That sounds like a good idea. But do you have any specific guide lines for how to convert from the table top to role playing? I mean the Sword of Leaping Gold sounds really overpowered if you convert it directly into WFRP2 - granting a character 3 additional attacks is really strong.

>>53817614

You've grown as a person anon.

>>53813973

Every faction is locked in a different time period. Warhammer doesn't really take place in any one time period.

>>53816627

I don't hate 8th like some people, if they toned down magic then it would have been a good game it contributed to the death of the game. Having large armies is good for people like us who already have loads of models but for anyone wanting to get into the game it pretty much stops them dead.

>>53803237
So make 6.5. By yourself.

Thoughts?

What's wrong with 9th age?
Hard Mode: Can't complain about the fast churning out of new rule changes.

>>53803846
>>53805300
Think of the months containing the factions. It's going like this;

May-Lizardmen
June-High Elves
July-Dark Elves
August-Skaven
September-Hype month and release.

The High Elves will get content this month and a trailer as well.

>>53815626
But remember - the hogoblins betrayed their fellow greenskins in the past. Whether it was intended or not, they're stuck at a point where they need the Chaos Dwarves for protection from other greenskins, and can't risk rebelling against them even if they wanted to, or could stop backstabbing themselves long enough to do it.

There are probably still a lot of smaller rebellions, but the last chance for united slaves to topple the Chaos Dwarves is essentially gone.

>>53817611
The easiest way to create a magical item is to let it bypass demonic and ghostly resistances, and to give it a special trait or two from another weapon type. These create weapons that are uniquely useful without blowing away balance.

Another technique is to have magic weapons grant the equivalent of a good Talent or racial feature, like Grusge-Born Fury or Fearless.

Always remember that weapons are Best quality, and benefit from that to-hit bonus.

Finally, if you make an exceptionally powerful weapon, give it a drawback, a nasty one. I created one, a sword, which worsened Crites by one degree and rolled on the table twice, picking the worse result...but it did the same to any living wielder when they were critted. In addition, it could break any weapon of less than best quality on a (rare) proc, bit it was noticeably an elven weapon and would, by nature of its history, anger any dwarfs its wielder encountered. Dwarfs being surly buggers, wearing it might cause problems in some social contexts.

>>53819728
It builds from 8th rather than 6th.

>>53818293
If you have a lot of minis, why not take more units instead of making model count in units higher?

>>53820659
Who cares if it becomes its own thing?
Plus 1.2 was based on going back to 6th.

>>53820663
Hordes of Gobbos and skellies look better.

>>53819728
>completely reworked magic (for the worse)
>setting is overly generic shit
these are my main issues with it

>>53819728

The constant rules changes are the only thing that gives me some hope for it, it's a mess at the moment of all the worst parts of 8th.

>>53821347
Good news, they are fixing magicagain in the next update.

As for the setting, its okay. I like Warhammer having a Rome and Chaos not getting wanked, the rest is acceptable if not exciting.

>>53818569

I don't think it's as good as the first PoC but I like some of the warrior designs.

The second one has little interest, I can maybe see a use for the chivo ravagers as pygmies, I really like the piasa bird and I guess some of the women could be used as Amazons.

>>53820047

That's not a great argument, they betrayed the CD then betrayed the black orks again because they looked like they were going to loose. That just shows how treacherous they are.

>>53821583
How is that different from any other greenskin?
They literally only rise in society by backstabbing.

>>53820663

Because steadfast benefited units of 50 over smaller units and some armies like Empire kind of need it to make foot core work.

>>53821610

Orcs will generally fight it out, it's Goblins that back-stab. But Orcs will usually unite against an outside enemy, the Hobgobs betrayed their own kind.

>>53821583
But now they've put themselves entirely in the Chaos Dwarves good graces for survival, since the Orcs and Goblins will no longer trust them. The Chaos Dwarves recognize that this makes them if not trustworthy more controllable and give them relatively cushy jobs to help make sure the hobgoblins stay under their thumb.

>>53821633
A fights a fight though. Why should it matter otherwise?

>>53821347
>setting is overly generic shit
haven't read a single line from it and I'm not interested. I just read old warhammer stuff and pretend that's my setting still.

What's wrong with fielding giant blocks of 40+ infantry regiments? Yeah it's expensive and time consuming but it's also fun.

>>53822707
1) It should be a way to play, not THE way to win.
2) Some armies and units are not good at it, making those armies underpowered and those units a shit option.
3) Hard counters fuck you harder since everyone knows its coming.

>>53822707
Who's complaining? I love that shit.

>>53823727

Well 40K didn't have much marketing and it didn't fail, flames of war didn't and it didn't fail, bolt action, lord of the rings etc etc. have had the same treatment and haven't failed.

The difference is that 1 box of space marines, tanks, US airborne or Gondor troops is enough to count as a compulsory choice. In Fantasy it was 5 boxes of troops and even then that probably wouldn't cover the 25% core tax.

>>53823683
>player base diminishing was down to cost of entry and the generally mediocre to bad rules.
That didn't hurt 40k which is FAR worse in both regards.

>>53823720
wtf

>>53823772

How? You don't need a block of 50 space marines to play 40K?

>>53823771
Actually, LotR did fail when they lost hype from Peter Jackson movies being fresh, AKA marketing.

That's why it dropped off until Hobbit movies started coming out.

40k has recieved nonstop promotion over the years from a real life heavy metal band writing fuckloads of songs about it to an unending stream of decent vidya. Compare to Fantasy which only got two obscure 90's games and a shitty WoW clone that died quickly.

>>53823812

...are you seriously implying a few autistic bands have kept 40K afloat? Nothing to do with the fact that a £50 box is a starter army for 40K and a £50 box for Fantasy might be half your core if you're lucky?

Plus SBG is making a resurgence now.

>>53823811
You also don't need more than a starter set and two kits to play Fantasy.

Except you really fucking do, because nobody plays small games and the stuff you need to win costs as much as a next gen console or two when you're done.

40k is worse because it has an addon game meant for thousand dollar investments.

>>53823843
Good luck winning a tourney with your $50 starter.

At least the Fantasy starter is 50% of a decent army. Throw in a monster and you're good.

Also, fuck yourself in the ass with a Baneblade for talking shit about Bolt Thrower.

I'm not talking about being competitive I'm talking about a descent army to start playing with. If you turn up with 500 points of space marines you can get a game, if you turn up with 10 sea guard and 10 swordmasters that's not even a legal army. The Skaven side of IoB was lucky to be 400 points even if you maxed out on every upgrade.

If only they actually did bulk deals. The Start Collecting boxes proved they can do models cheaper.

Problem is trying to assemble a force of Skeleton Warriors or Black Knights and you get shit you only need one of like a Mortarch.

They should just give tier discounts based on how much you buy. Spend $100, save $15. Spend $200, save $40. That kind of shit.

That's like a red rag to a bull. They regularly go through the chaos wastes on expeditions to the lost holds.

>>53831902

I just want somebody to come up with 6th edition ravening horde points for all the new models.

>>53813104
According to the 6th edition army book, they use a combination of divine, faith-powered magic and dark magic they learned from dark elf captives. After many generations, the liche priests simply stopped dying.

Nagash turned that shit into modern necromancy, and then he started eating warpstone until he got fucked up powerful.

>>53832040
Chaos wastes are a thing. Byt that's to retake lost holds.
There are not lost holds to retake east of the world's edge mountains. Only death, ogres and chaos dwarves.

Regular dwarves don't think or talk of their lost brethren, and avoid the subject completely. No dwarf would go and try to make contact, or even wage war against chaos dwarves, because that would mean aknowledging the existence of a shame so great it would break the very foundation of dwarven pride, that they are incorruptible and impervious to the weakness of other races.

This is why the dwaves willingly ignore everything east of the world edge's mountains. Even more now that their empire is crumbling and more and more holds are either lost or isolated

I seem to remember something about these being pre-Chaos Dwarf holds which they abandoned when they moved to the plains.

>>53832947
Well fuck me with a tree branch call me an elf.

What do we know about that? Why was it abandoned, do the dwarf even know of it's existence? Was it a chaos dwarf fortress before the whole chaos thing?

Tho if it was abandoned, it means the dwarfs had a good reaso to leave it willingly. Why would they want to go back? After all it says "abandoned", not "lost", meaning the dorfs left on their own accord

Makes a little too much sense to be honest.

The later part of Terror in Talabheim seems like it might be a little overwhelming for a new party and/or gm.
Barony of the Damned is a little on the 'hilariously grimdark mud-eating peasants' side of things if one wanted a good introduction to the world.

Wrong. They called it at least since 1988.

Again wrong.

>>53834902
The Thousand Thrones is really good as an adventure, but suffers from 'grand tour' syndrome, which is a problem with many of the WFRP campaigns (including Paths of the Damned).

TTT at least has an excuse for this - it's all based around a pilgrimage/tour/crusade. But basically, the party spends so much time moving from place to place they don't have time to get to know the local environment and practice their careers. It's hard to be a ferryman or a toll-keeper if you have to keep travelling.

That aside, it's excellent and there's some good fan support for it too (http://www.liberfanatica.net/TTT.html)

I remember reading in an old lore book that orcs were perhaps the happiest race in the entire world, as they fucking love to fight and kill and there is plenty of enemies all around them.

>>53835723
Do greenskins really love fighting? Sometimes I think that's just an Imperial explanation for greenskins behaviour without any real understanding of the greenskin culture rather than their real motivation. Sometimes you can read than greenskins economy is based around teeth and fangs, so maybe they just fight to get them guided by greed. Or for hunger, since they also eat eachothers.

But neither sound like a behaviour of a happy person.

Yeah so have I, hopefully it wont be the same for 40K 8th. Figured we could give it a try if you could find the rules for the format.

Just wan't to try something new and see how it runs. If it's crap we'll just shelf our models until another itteration of warhammer comes out.

Any idea where I can find the rules in the book?

>>53836042
In Warlord's newsletter they just had the image with some text that can be summed up as "soon".

>>53836055
Try the AoS thread.
Like I said, few if any of us would have tried it. This thread isn't a good source for anything AoS other than jokes and complaints.

Since GW is doing WFRP 4.0 and we know they're juzzing themselves over TW:W popularity its possible Warhammer Fantasy may come back some day. Probably oversimplified and using AoS rules, but at least the old lore will be back.

>>53836105
>using AoS rules
That would kill AoS and their new models, unless you put the new units in the Warhammer world. I think that even if they oversimplify it it'd still play like Warhammer so both games could co-exist.

>>53836055

> Just wait for another iteration.

The way things are going with AoS there's a good chance this is the last iteration.

>>53836168
Lorewise they would keep the two seperate, but they'd try and do it like Warmahordes where you play the models from either game together.

Then the accompanying White Dwarf would have examples of people fluffing Sigmarines into Fantasy or Bretonnia into AoS.

>>53836208
Hahahahaha, I hope so.

>>53836262

It was quite sad watching them experiment on Fantasy's corpse for the sake of 40K8E.

>>53836262
I don't.
AoSfags seem to enjoy it, I don't want it squatted anymore than 40k to become Age Of Girlymon.

I want our game back. I'm angry about AoS only because our good setting was killed and taxidermied into their generic one.

If both can coexist as different timelines that are supported, I'll be happy.

As their economy is fueled by violence, not as if they they actually enjoyed the fighting. They love to eat, get drunk and sing, just like humans. And they get those things fighting.

Ok, fine, here's a few more explicit quotes. 5th and 8th editions respectively.

I've been planning to start an Empire army from Sylvania. Would they wear the old colors of the von Drak/von Carnstein or from Stirland?

>>53836909
Stirland if they're actually imperial. They'd only wear old Sylvanian colours if they served the vampires.

>>53836909
You mean a non-vamp army? I'd say Stirland, since they are technically in charge of the province

>>53836800
That still sounds like a human description and interpretation to me, like " they fight a lot therefore they enjoy fighting" which is a flawed logical thought but normal for medieval times. Humans and greenskins don't usually care enought to learn the language of the other side so I doubt a real research was made to discover the motivation of orcs before writing those texts.

But they for sure enjoy the loot after a fight.

That's just like saying we enjoy sex, when what we actually enjoy are the orgasms. We don't need to especify the orgams because it's understood that the orgasm will usually follow. Same for greenskins they say they enjoy "fights" because for them there is always a loot afterwards, since they can eat the flesh of their enemies and keep the teeth to use them as currency.

They are just so poor that their economy is based around beating other people for their things and/or flesh. Like two hobos fighting for a piece of steak, but with a possible cannibal ending.

What happens to a beastman when he dies? What about really special beastmen? Do they become daemons, or if they're special daemon princes? Do they get spit back out into a new beastman?

Do you think Warlord will produce Zwaihanders?

Demons are made from the raw stuff of chaos. Like lesser reflections of their god. Nobody becomes a demon proper.

Demon princes are those rare mortals who gained sufficient favour with the gods to be rewarded with demonic immortality. It doesn't happen much.

The thing that sets beastmen apart from other mortal followers of the gods is that their souls belong to chaos from birth. Unlike most other mortals, they don't make a conscious choice to pledge their soul to chaos.

Chaos favours them as a parent favours his children. But chaos wants souls and beastmen can't pledge there. They're like the grunts that live and die in droves without ever really achieving much personal gain.

They pretty much just die and that's it.

I don't think there are beastmen in lore who managed to gain deamonhood. Beastmen are natural children of chaos, they follow it out of sheer instincts and don't need to be corrupted by it, nor the gods need to fight over their souls.

I assumo tho that some of the most impressive beastmen actually become daemon princes. IIRC, there's a beastman in the forest of Loren that resurrects everytime it is killed. Immortality is a signature daemon prince ability

>>53838313
>>53838358
Unfortunate, but it does give some hope. I mean, daemons are "natural children of chaos", but the gods favor them all the time and give them flashy gubbins and whatnot. Granted they also get their shit pushed in when the gods are in a bad mood, but that's beside the point. If the gods care about their jobbers enough to turn them into big deals occasionally, and turn random people into daemon princes for little more than amusing them, you'd think that Beastmen would get -something-, ya' know?

I guess GW just damned Beastmans to be the jobbest of the jobbers.

>>53838571
Beast men get jack shit. Its why they generally bitch all the time to other followers of Chaos. They think themselves to be true and pure beings of Chaos, but they're used by everyone else (and by the gods themselves) as cannon fodder. They probably just get their souls devoured by the warp when someone ends their miserable existence.

Are there any fan-made mass combat rules for WFRP 2E? Anything that you could use in substitute?

Here's one one of my players suggested that I'll probably playtest.

>If a character uses two weapons and at least one of them has the balanced
trait, or if they have the Ambidextrous talent, they can make one additional
attack each round. The user must make at least one attack with each weapon
when doing this - you can't attack an additional time with your battleaxe
just because you have a main gauche in the other hand. However, unless a
weapon has the Defensive trait, it cannot be used to both parry and attack
in the same round.

The chaos gods enjoy the game. They select their champions and pit them against each other, rewarding them and cursing them at turns. They like destruction, but more than that, they enjoy irony. There is a reason their chosen champion is a fallen templar of Sigmar.

Beastmen are their born servants. They have no choice but to serve - they are creatures of chaos heart and soul. The problem is that there's no fun in having a servant with no choice. The amusement lies in having mortals damn themselves of their own volition. So the beastmen are relegated to the facilitators of champions rather than champions themselves.

The beastmen know this. That's why they're so bitter. They envy men their free will. They know they will always be the second, unloved son and that hatred twists up inside their black hearts and drives them to despoil and desecrate the works of men. They do not merely destroy like orcs do. They seek to ruin things forever - to shit on works of art and rape the purest maidens.

They are the bullied become bullies. They're not proud barbarians, they're spiteful little shits like children who knock over sandcastles and pluck the wings off flies.
That's why I like them, actually. They're almost sympathetic in their own way.

>>53837960

A beastman achieving deamonhood is not documented, but as i said there are pieces if information here and there that indicate the existence of beastmen deamon princes or champions.
Apart from the constantly respawning shaman, who might very well be a daemon prince, there is another beastmen that is said to mutate instantly whoever and whatever gets near it into chaos spawns.
Not to mention that minotaur that was so bloodthirsty that he killed and ate the daemonic herald Khorne himself sent to give him his favour, becoming the Brass Bull as a consequence of eating daemon flesh.

Thing is beastmen probably need to work thrice as hard as human chaos worshippers to even get noted by their gods, let alone recieve any boon.
A beastlord should probably unite all tribes and burn altdorf or middenheim to the ground all on his own to achieve daemonhood. Or kill something like a herald or a greater daemon

>>53840280
It does kind of make them special, in a way - any Beastman has to do what he does without a bunch of buffing blessings. One-Eye has done everything he's done by his own power and intelligence, even as he ages.

If orcs and goblins are like orks then fighting and dying is their main method of reproduction.
Which means an orc trying to kill you and you engaging him in a melee is the equivalent of sex. If you killed him then it means you were the one who thrust his hard object inside of the orc and released his reproductive spores.
Then again that's a big if and mostly to make a gay joke that's still not as funny as that time a bunch of gays pierced deep into the spartan rear.

>>53842926
Not that anon, but the Lahmians control an old Dwarven hold in the North, around where the road finally comes out of the mountains. And depending on whether or not there's vampires living in Cathay, they have an 'in' in those distant markets.

>>53841978
While some Ogres have caught on to the fact that escorting people back and forth along the road is usually a better job than just clubbing them and taking their stuff. Can't remember which book it was in, probably one of the Army Books.

>>53843225
I always find it annoying/confusing how much it sounds like Lahmians/Chaos/maybe Skaven or Dark Elves seem to have such widespread control over other factions, to the point that nothing is free of it. Makes you wonder how much of it is real, or how much is just amping them up and making them seem threatening from the inside.

>>53844948

They can be very powerful but also very weak.

When a mob rocked up to Drachenfels they burned it to the ground, it would only take a similar thing to happen for them to be destroyed, if they annoyed enough people.

>>53845118
So they're in control but lack the power to truly defend said control from a few angry peasants.
Small wonder the slutians are still alive, it's sager to lie beneath humans as they fuck you and not harm them than it is to try and take things by force.

He would need a big lore update since he himself hasn't been seen since the 90's, his castle is still there though. Occupied by Blood Dragons or something, I can't remember.

He was a powerful necromancer but wasn't really aligned to anyone (he predates most of them), although in the End Times Nagash used his spirit.

Anyone have suggestions as what to use as the straps holding the bears shields? currently I've blutac rigged some string, but hit a block.

That actually adds a lot of unexpected depth to them. If only there was a way for there to be a break-away faction of beastmen that function similarly to how Malal did when that was a thing. Beastmen who not only resent mankind for their undue attention, but also Chaos itself for effectively forsaking them. At the very least it'd be bad-ass for there to be some old, grizzled Warlord that had been around long enough to know that they're on their own- that -he's- on his own. Younger, less jaded beastmen flock to him because of his experience and the promise of war, but he sees in them wasted potential, and they heed him not. He is compelled only to drown his sorrow and his resentment for Man and Chaos, always on the road. "Road". You get the meaning.

>>53840280
Which is that shaman? It's been a while since I read the books and shit.


Wait, WAIT- what if beastmen become furies? Since furies have been described as what becomes of worshipers of Chaos that never chose a single god to devote themselves to, would it be unfeasible for many furies to be the soulstuff of deceased beastmen? They're suitably minor, and often the fodder of every other daemon, so it would keep in line with their lot in the scheme of things.

>>53848239

>>53848286
Don't remember the name, but it's mentioned in the Knights of the Grail splatbook for WFRPG 2nd ed. And i think in the 6th edition beastmen army book too.

Problem is Beastmen are basically LoTR orcs: they hate everything. They hate life, beauty, even themselves. They hate and despise eachother, and hate those who rule over them. They exist only to kill and feast and defile everything they touch. The only reason they work as a group is fear of retribution from stronger beastmen and the constant killing of those who are too weak or stupid to defend themselves.
They are like orcs, except that they are not content with their lot in life. They cannot feel anything but hatred, and this hatred consumes them utterly. They won't renounce chaos not because they don't hate it, but because they hate everyone else more

I like how GW allowing another company to make a 4E for WFRP alongside an RPG for AoS suddenly means Fantasy is coming back.

Pretty sure this week saw and announcement of Total Warhammer stuff due to E3 and the Warhammer Community site couldn't even be bothered to make a post about it, they could for the Middle Earth SBG and BB though.

>>53836208

>>53849059
I hated that aspect of LotR orcs to be honest. They revolved around the forces of evil and Sauron. To me it just looks lazy and comes across as one dimensional. For the record, I'm not contesting the nature of orcs or beastmen, I was just saying it would be nice if beastmen had more depth to them. Shallow as they tend to be, it's a wonder they ever separated them from other chaos forces.

Maybe it's just me (probably just me) but I feel like it's an opportunity squandered. Greenskins are all sorts of goofy and have their own gods and various flavors within flavors (goblins, night goblins, forest goblins, or orcs and savage orcs), same with Skaven and their culture, society and clans. But for beastmen we just get "A bunch of unfortunate, upset goats." It'd be neat if they were chaos's answer to their daemons' limited interaction with the mortal realm. Maybe they could have been like ghouls; a society of beings, or once-men, who (rather than cannibalism) fell to chaos and devolved to the point that they are now the beastmen we all know and love.

Instead we've got Basically NPCs.

>>53849427
See it as an opportunity.

Since they're so shallow you can do whatever you want with them while not fearing to cross the boundaries of canon.

Beastmen are so removed fron the eyes of chaos gods they can worship a whole bunch of lesser deities and/or corrupted nature spirits.

I figure it wouldn't be much of a stretch to have beastmen worship lesser daemons or daemon princes, or even some twisted aspect of the Horned Rat, or even a dryad or a treeman that has been corrupted by chaos (or by the beastmen themselves)

>>53849486

M8 they didn't use any statistics to make that table, I'm sorry but AoS is not the world beater people used to think it could have been. Which doesn't really please me because if they can it the whole range will get dropped.

I think it looks best with the rope, if you want to make some with green stuff you can get a very think bit of wire, roll out some green stuff into a very thin sausage shape and then wrap it around the wire so that it looks like thick hemp rope.

Is there a good set of rules and unit list for making a nippon army that isn't the TL;DR weeb rulebook one finds on a cursory google search?

>>53853230

I think one of the forge world books had a very basic list for Nippon raiders.

Alternatively I would just use the Empire book. Spear men can be the levied troops, great swords can be samurais etc. Remember Karl Franz has access to the imperial zoo.
