New to AOS, I like Magic and Shooting down my opponent from afar. I also like the Dark Aelves aesthetics.
How good are they on the table ? What a typical army of them would look like ? What are their main tactics ?

>>54285019

a lot of people do not like the aesthetic and lore for SCE and so choose armies they do like.

me too!

terrible mostly
>What a typical army of them would look like?
your best hope is the formation from the compendium in the pic, take darkshards as battleline
>What are their main tactics?
sadly they are pretty terrible but the formation in the pic is pretty good. Add a Black dragon lord or two and you should be crushing most things that aren't the super good new releases. Unfortunately dark aelves have no good wizards so I wouldn't bother with them, also don't bother with anything shooty except darkshards for battleline.

or you know, do whatever you want because you need to like your army too.

you may want to consider waiting a couple months... the rumor is that "shadow aelves" are going to be released probably next.

with two black dragons in your face turn one and turn 2 bringing you something like 15 mortal wounds per unit of with elves it is not uncommon to literally wipe your opponent off the table before turn 3. Granted it doesn't work as well against the new bullshit releases but whatever.

that's really cool, I bought the box set too and gave two of my good friends each half. The SCE half has some really nice models, I particularly like the Lord-Celestant on Dracoth, he is really good and one of the best looking models in the entire SC range IMO.

Change of topic. What are you working on Anons?

I finally got back to working on my Arkanauts for a Skirmish list after a break. I have 3 completed, so only 7 in the production line and I already remembered why I hate doing production lines.

>>54287199
The realms are vast and varied, so honestly the answer to most of those questions is simply "there is no reason why not".

The city they made for the last Warhammer Quest game would have fit right into WHFB Empire without much issue.

Also Chaos is more or less unchanged, and Slaaesh is less "gone" more "missing". They still exist, its just nobody knows where they are now.

>>54287199
>Slaanesh is gone.

He isn't.

>Chaos running rampant

It's been generations (and almost a year) since that time. Order is on the rise, we have pirates flying around in shiny ships too.

>Has the Realm of Chaos itself changed?

Nurgle got kicked in the balls by Sigmar via stormcast going full "Sigmar-ahu Ackbar!"

>Are most races bar the new Dwarfs still at a medieval tech level?

Not really, maybe.

>Is there such thing as haunted castles and Sylvanian type horror areas?

Deffo!

I like that blue on the armor, anon

>>54291506
I know it is faster than painting each one to completion, but it is so boring. I actually have a half finished production line on Longbeards on my desk still, so this time I am forcing myself to complete them before moving onto something else.

Again thanks for feedback. I based cast 7 off of Tzeentch spells of Tzaangor Shaman and Ogroid Thaumaturge that do the same thing with Tzaangors and Horrors, but admittedly Fimir are probably far better than either of those.
I also realised I never put the Half-Fiends in the BT from my rough concept stage. I probably would just go with Shearls or Chaducain at this point.
The issue was with as short as her cast range is, I have literally never actually used it in game. If you get her close enough to be doing that you're close enough she's usually already dead. Honestly I don't know that fimir really *need* to be able to spawn more units (despite liking the fluff of it), so I'd be fine with giving her a different spell if it came right down to it.

Also if anyone else wants to chime in, here's it re-uploaded.

>Do castles still exist with medieval towns?

>>54290529
Finished 10 Arkanauts and an Admiral, working on an Ironclad, and have an Endrinmaster I'm excited to work on and 10 more Arkanauts that I'm not excited for.

All my dwarfs interrelate to each other and have the same/verrrry similar colour schemes (green and gold, sometimes silver). So I have a Dispossessed army of Clan Izorstokaz, a KO army of Barak-Gorlm, and a 40k Squat army. I like to imagine that each of the armies is the descendants of the next one.

The competitive scenarios are all objective based. Pure pitched battle strength is irrelevant in the GT.

>>54293125
>Pure pitched battle strength is irrelevant in the GT.
Yes, because everyone plays on tournaments every day.
Also, pitched strenght shows pure army power-level. If Moonclan opponent rolled 1-2 doubleturns he would won easily

>>54293119
You gotta be 18 to be here kid.

>>54293125
>Pure pitched battle strength is irrelevant in Age of Sigmar

The game has been objective based since launch. Every single book that has come out for the game contains battleplans that involve some form of objective other than "table your enemy by turn 6".

It is like watching a baseball game, and saying that the losing team was actually better because they threw the ball harder.

>Do castles still exist with medieval towns?
Possibly.

>Has the general fluff of Chaos changed?
Chaos has been established as an force that has consumed alot of realities, many of them by Archaon's hands. The Chaos Gods think the Mortal Realms is just another of those realities they devoured. The slann know the Mortal Realms are more important and that could lead to their ultimate defeat.

>Has the Realm of Chaos itself changed?
There's two new places:
-Blight City a skaven city that was transported to the realm of chaos to escape the End Times, but due to the skavenanigans it sink half into reality, which means the skaven can make holes into the Mortal Realms and other realities.
-Varanspire is the fortress of Archaon situated in the Eightpoints and the Realm of Chaos.
There's also a piece of the crystal labyrinth that was stolen and put into an dimensional pocket called the Halosphere by a Slann. It's implied that if they can get the equation to open the gates at it's center they will be able to screw Tzeench in a major way.

>>54293238
What you was supposed to take from that is that you are measuring who is better with a useless metric that doesn't actually apply.

If you are playing pitched battles often, you are not getting the most out of the game. It was designed to be played with battleplans, and a lot of them are really interesting.

>>54293266
I don't know why I am replying to the shit poster, but one city is not representative of every city.

I like how for a brief moment anon tried to converse with the slav like a human being and how bewildered the slav was at the thought of actually TALKING about the game he claims to enjoy as opposed to only mindlessly bitching about everything constantly.

>>54293289
>It was designed to be played with battleplans,
And my SCE wins always. Your point?
Moonclan won, not because army was good, but because of luck
>but one city is not representative of every city.
It's represents common technology level and it's far from medieval.

>>54293300
>only mindlessly bitching about everything constantly.
Where exactly I was bitching about everything? When I said fantasycuck that his formation sucks and he should wait for new aelves army instead of keep pushing "legacy army are relevant!" meme?

>>54287199

>Do castles still exist with medieval towns?
Chaos definitely has them. From what we know of the free cities, they are a mix of tall dome topped towers and a blend of renaissance and ancient greek architecture (see illustrations from shadows over hammerhal for more detail). The more azyr-inspired buildings have less and less of the traditional wfb style, but retain some elements in terms of their general iconography. See the Shadows over Hammerhal guidebook, read city of secrets and google pictures of azyrheim for examples of known building styles.

It's difficult to pin down the exact style for several reasons. First is that realms are inevitably varied and wild in places. Second is that the only non-chaotic building scenery GW has released are ruins from the age of myth and we don't know if that style is exactly representative of the free cities (though it seems to hold similarities). Third is that we have limited general info on the style. We have

>Are most races bar the new Dwarfs still at a medieval tech level?
The new settings' equivalent of the colleges of magic (now named collegiate arcane) often have access to powerful arcane machines and mechanisms (storm engines I think they were called?) which, in conjunction with traditional artillery (cannons, rocket batteries), help them to defend their cities.

Blackpowder weaponry is still in common use by ordinary human soldiery though, as are traditional melee weapons; swords, spears, halberds etc. Stormcast obviously have magical, storm-infused weaponry that's made from sigmarite, the magical metal found within the core of the old world which now rests in the realm of azyr. Basically on a more individual level, the weaponry is the same for ordinary soldiers. On a greater level, there's a lot more crazy arcane technology around which performs important functions for the cities. Please ignore the shitposter, he's the Matt Ward of stormcast eternals.

>>54293558
>On a greater level, there's a lot more crazy arcane technology around which performs important functions for the cities
So the in the cities the quality of life would hopefully been improved.

>>54293558
>he's the Matt Ward of stormcast eternals.
And I'am right.

>>54293587
>So the in the cities the quality of life would hopefully been improved.
And it was improved, Azyrheim is basically very highly advanced civilization. see >>54293266

Is there any way to represent a "good" barbarian faction? Like Conan-esque aesthetic (not implying Conan is "good"), aside from Chaos Marauders? Or is it pretty much Chaos and or Chaos for that?

>>54293618
>Is there any way to represent a "good" barbarian faction?
SCE

>>54293627
And Sylvaneths with Fireslayers

>>54293627
How the fuck are Stormcast Eternals anywhere near Conan-esque barbarians?

>>54293618
Honestly the closest thing Order has to barbarians aesthetically is Fyreslayers. If you are open to heavily converting you could modify Marauders a touch to lose the Chaosy elements and run them using Freeguild or Fyreslayer rules.

>>54293587

Cities in the realm of azyr have a good QoL. To give a 40k analogy, Azyr is the fantasy EQ of Ultramar, and it's cities are comparable to the planets in that system. Other realms have cities with both extremes of luxury and poverty. Excelsis has a great centre inspired by azyrite architectural styles, but also things you'd expect in a crowded city, big busy and disorderly markets and harbours, slums (excelsior's slums are called 'the veins', because it's a mess of cramped and crowded buildings built on top of each other with little forethought).

>>54293627
SCE aren't much like barbarians. They're literally the peak of heroism, sigmars chosen, reforged in his image to fight chaos, not petty raiders and scavengers.

Fyreslayers are a much better match. They're literally bare-chest, axe wielding, giant fire beast wrangling, magical gold hoarding dwarves.

>>54293671
Is there any way to add some sort of 'nobility' into Chaos fluff? Like I remember someone talking on here about Khorne having honourable martial aspects or something. Could do a Chaos army and have them think they're on the side of honor or whatever.

>>54293671
>How the fuck are Stormcast Eternals anywhere near Conan-esque barbarians?
How the fuck they aren't?

>>54293704
>Could do a Chaos army and have them think they're on the side of honor or whatever.
Only in headcanon

>>54293704
Unfortunately the more noble side of Khorne is lost to time. In Age of Sigmar he is straight BLOOD SKULLS KILL MAIM BURN.

>>54293709
Oh you are literally retarded. Got it. Cheers faggot. Try not to choke on your paint water

>>54293704

Play tzeentch. Tzeentch tricks and corrupts people into doing bad shit all the time. That or play flesh eater courts. They're literally mad cannibals who are under a delusion that they're noble knights and kings.

>>54293618
>>54293671
Honestly I'm surprised there isn't a human faction like that for Destruction or Order. I guess Order already has more than enough considering all the aelves/duardin/SCE/freeguild and w/e fall into that, but it'd be interesting to see a Destruction faction that wasn't based off greenskins or ogres.

>>54293762
I think that would be cool, fantasy digganobs'd be the shit. Sorry there isn't a readily available option in Order that is too your liking.

>>54293817

Well, the most literal, but obviously aesthetically dissimilar match is freeguild, simply because many of their ranks are taken from the reclaimed; tribes of humans who fled from or hid from chaos before the gates of azyr closed. Read city of secrets for more info.

>>54293862
I have read it but I forgot that bit, that's a good point actually! I think I might look in to either mixing marauders in with a freeguild army, or mix-matching bits from the kits. Thanks anon!

>>54293910
Also see duncan's recently vid on his converted freeguild spearmen. You could make a more feral, less 300 version of that easily.

>>54283378
Tempted to start a Sylvaneth force or wait to see if shadowkin come out this year.

I used to play woodelves by the way back in warhammer.

>>54293862
The rules for freeguild are one of my suggestions from earlier. It's just getting the aesthetic right, that's the trick.

>>54293997
Sylvaneth are in an okay place if you can't wait for the aelves release. Plus their models are really great.

>>54294027
Okay I just have a bias towards things with a Nature vs. Evil aesthetic, but the models are okay.

>>54293720

Yes, there is.

Check out Order of the Fly from the "Plague Garden" novel. Even Stormcast admit these Nurglite are honourable and have a measure of nobility..

>>54293671
>How the fuck are Stormcast Eternals anywhere near Conan-esque barbarians?

Only to fantasycuck who acts as their legacyshit is still relevant and should have proper support

how does this sound as some lore for a dudes?

Within the Realm of Shadows lies a canyon flooded with an eerie dense fog. A realmgate lies there, deep within a fortress built into the canyon wall.

The nameless fortress has had countless owners throughout the centuries, each leaving their own mark on it. Now Sigmar's favored have claimed it as their own. Clad in bronze armor with green velvet hoods, they call themselves the Sidereal Wardens.

Each day they patrol the length of the canyon. The lanterns they carry bring Sigmar's light to an otherwise dark land.

Darker still are the vast dungeons beneath the nameless fortress. The stormcast sealed off the passages. What could be down there that even Sigmar's mighty warriors fear?

Still, for a mortal in the Realm of Shadow, life in the fortress under the protection and guidance of the Sidereal Wardens is probably the best they could hope for.

>I really like the Knight-Azyros and Castellant models

>>54293169
Pitched battle is the most retarded forma ever, and it only plagues us because waacfags in previous editions insisted on it. It's amazing how people win by going after objctives in an objectie-based game.

>>54296405
Grots are still 20 to a box, so unless they do a raw price drop I doubt it
Though maybe if we're lucky they'll get a SECOND reboxing later with more grots. I just hope when it's their turn for an update they either get new plastics of their old shit, or like, a slightly more heavy grot unit

And the main objective is defeat enemy army and force them to surrender.

>>54296561

Nope, but it's showing how incompitent free guild. They literally cannot do anything without SCE.

>>54296203
I sense this is written by the slav, for the slav.

>>54296203

Also yes, they actually have dank moustaches and hats. So they have 200% fashion bonus over Goldmask McPauldrons.

>>54296577
Again, one lot of freeguild were incompetent ergo they're all incompetent?

>>54296689

I'm not making a claim. You are. You're trying to flip the burden of proof the other way because your evidence is based on a single anecdote. I'm not arguing that freeguild, as a faction, are better than SCE. Hell, I'm not even arguing that freeguild are necessarily good at anything whatsoever. You're arguing that freeguild are irrelevant and incompetent. I'm arguing that your claim is unsubstantiated. It's like in a criminal trial. I don't have to prove that the accused is innocent, I just need to prove that your evidence is insubstantial to find the accused guilty.

>>54296746
>I'm arguing that your claim is unsubstantiated.
City of Secrets+ any fluff about Free people saying that they are irrelevant, they didn't fighting, just following after Stormcasts conquers the lands

>>54296568
Which is done by securing vital objectives, such as towns, mines, bridges and such. Pitched battle is a retarded concept, because two equal armies lining up to see which one is better in perfectly symmetrical situation is as far removed from WAR as possible. Fucking Bloodbowl is a better wargame than any battle using pitched battle rules.

>>54296203
>Does the Freeguild have a real purpose are they just background elements?

Like the Stormcast they crusade across the realms and liberate realms from Chaos. The Warrior Priest in Silver Tower was a dude following a Freeguild regiment to the warlines when he was kidnapped.

Also the Freeguilds played a huge role in defending the Greywater Fatness city during the Seasons of War.

>inb4 slav trolling

>>54296746
Fuck off Livan

>>54296759
City of secrets is one city, where the leadership was already corrupted. Not a fair fight in the slightest.

>any fluff about Free people saying that they are irrelevant
Burden of proof is on you. Stating something to be a fact doesn't make it so.

>>54296763
>Which is done by securing vital objectives, such as towns, mines, bridges and such.
And then killing enemy troops who trying to retake it, Moonclan army was doomed to lose, but won because of luck (1-2 doubleturns and squigs would die and grots weren't able to hold the objectives alone) and artificial rules, like in some RTS missions where you should hold 30-40 minutes
>>54296764
Except they didn;t crusading, they just guarding locations already retaken by Stormcasts.

Who the fuck is Livan?

>>54296791

And free guilds failed to fix it, actually 2/3 of them turned to Chaos.

>>54296813

Also, I'am hope they will get some victories in fluff when new FG army will be released.

>>54296458
Yeah, grots are cheap as hell on ebay because battle for skull pass. We need new releases or at least cheaper squigs/trolls to make grots a nice army in aos.

>>54296803
>free guilds failed to fix it
Implying that's actually their job. I'm sorry, didn't you say it was the stormcasts in charge? and did they fix the leadership? Oh, that's right, they did fuck all while their city's centralised city leadership was corrupted. You want to measure them up to SCE? well SCE were just as useless in that regard. And no, fixing it in the end doesn't count; they let it get that bad in the first place.

Stay on point; you have to prove BOTH that they're irrelevant and incompetent. You haven't proven the second, but lets address the first:

Lets first establish something. Subservience to, and/or the formation of alliances with SCE =/= irrelevance.

>Sigmar must use every loyal warrior he can muster
Sounds like the god king needs them, after all, he "must use EVERY loyal warrior"

Many perform useful functions. The devoted of sigmar

Azyrheim's Revenge:
> Many war hosts issued forth, fighting on their own or aiding the Stormcast Eternals
Fighting on their own?
I'm sorry, didn't you say they just follow the SCE? Didn't you explicitly say "they just guarding". "they didn;t crusading".

>These new bastions of order, founded since the opening of the gates of Azyr, welcome the aid of sigmar's chosen, but have staunch warriors of their own that march to their defence and that of their allies.

>Staunch warriors of their own that march to their defence and that of their allies.
What? what is this? they can actually protect themselves? No way! What a revolutionary notion!

>>54296976
>Implying that's actually their job.
Yes it was theur jib as police-force
>didn't you say it was the stormcasts in charge?
In charge of war.
>well SCE were just as useless in that regard.
Except there is shitton of SCE victories across the Mortal Realms.
>Sounds like the god king needs them, after all, he "must use EVERY loyal warrior"
And only Stormcasts is loyal while Free guild regiments prefer switch to Chaos side.
>Didn't you explicitly say "they just guarding". "they didn;t crusading".
Yes, I said it, and provided the citation about that.
Meanwhile where is all glorious FG victories?
>they can actually protect themselves?
Yeah protecting themselves after SCE destroyed all large Chaos forces in the area.

>>54297637
>Meanwhile where is all glorious FG victories?

There is no arguing with you. You ignored the specificity of all my points. You only see what you want to see, and fall back on past arguments when you have no present one.

Yes castles and medieval towns still exist. The realms are a big place.

Chaos is chaos.

Realm of chaos is the realm of chaos.

The races are at whatever tech level their player wants them to be at. You want your dudes to live in poop huts? You got it. You want your dwarves to live out of a city of steel and crystal? You got it.

I'd imagine there would definitely be haunted castles and shit. The Skirmish rulebook states that the realm of death is a horrific place. The free people cities there have wards set up to keep the dead at bay. There are mountains of dead and other shit there. It's a scary place lol.

I don't think the size is different. The original oldschool handgunners had small guns sure, but the more modern ones have quite long rifles, almost as tall as themselves. Maybe that's just the way they're modelled. What does 'top part' mean. Are you talking about the ironsight? the lack of the flared end? Be specific.

>. 'Accurate' doesn't tell me anything. Accurate to what exactly?
Accurate to old models and IRL 16-17th centuries weapon

>>54300957
I hardly think that's enough to call it steampunk. Steampunk needs steam, and that's a blackpowder pistol. The setting is already kinda steampunk, but for a different reason, which is because we have things like gyrobopters/bombers and steamtanks which use boilers and hence steam power, and the limits formerly imposed by WFB (i.e. that only 12 were ever made in the case of steam tanks, and that gyro flyers were experimental, rare tech) disappeared in AoS to our knowledge.

Is it just Stormcast for humans now?

they're like the imperial guard of fantasy

>>54305319
Freeguild are "basic" humans that follow Sigmar.

>>54306500
Why aren't they in the factions list?

Getting squatted?

>>54306522
No the list is only those with battletomes thus far

>>54306903
That makes sense.

Sorry for newfag questions, only thing I really know about Sigmar is limited osmosis at LGS

How balanced is the game? From what I hear there are tons of broken things. Some Ork units, some ogre stone bells I think, caster shenanigans. Tons of mortal wounds.

Sounded like there are tons of stuff to abuse.

>>54298530
It would be Disciples of Tzeentch if they were more thematically coherent and had more tzaangor minis.

As it stands it's Kharadron Overlords.

>>54294662
It's generally why I prefer Chaos in Fantasy/AoS over 40k. Chaos characters in 40k seem to be written as either being "ram your head into the wall" retarded or evil for the sake of being evil, with a few exceptions like Ahriman.

Fantasy/AoS Chaos tends to allow more room for Chaos worshippers. At the end of the day, they're evil, but they tend to have more reasons to explain why they chose Chaos beyond simply "just because" or "X was mean to me once."

>>54302032
Bump this

>>54306943
It isn't terribly unbalanced unless you are solely looking at it from a pitched battle perspective. It is a Games Workshop property, so there will be power creep. But if the U.K. grand tournament is anything to go by, legacy armies are still viable for clever players.

alright, I need some help with this shit.

Somewhat seasoned 40k player trying to break into fantasy with a few questions.

What's with the absolute retarded state of the armies? Why, when I look at the online sigmar store, there are factions with one or two models and nothing else

It seems like there's only four or five fully fleshed out 'sigmar' armies, a bunch of 'old fantasy armies' and then just a cluster fuck of random models that dont fit in anywhere.

Secondly, I've been looking into the Sylvaneth and a unit of Dryads costs 120 points. Seems fair enough, but i can take 10 - 30 of them, and it says nothing about costing additional points for a higher number.
Am I to understand that a player bringing in two units of 10 Dryads would be paying twice as many points as a player bringing in one unit of 30 Dryads?

and why, if the minimum is 10, does it say on the Dryad warscroll, that a unit of them is made up of 5 or more models?


Did the developers of AoS change multiple times during development? Why is everything a cluster fuck? How to break into this hobby?

>>54302032
>>54307480

Asked my Skaven friend, he said you'll definitely want to go with a 40mm. 32mm would be far too crowded, according to him.

>What's with the absolute retarded state of the armies? Why, when I look at the online sigmar store, there are factions with one or two models and nothing else
That is just some dumb thing they done for some reason. They probably plan on expanding those factions eventually, but who even knows when. So far only one has been expanded. Either way, due to the way rules in AoS works, there is not to much of a downside of mixing a lot of these smaller factions together right now, as the only armies with proper allegiance abilities are either new releases, or have some form of cross-compatibility with subfactions in the same umbrella (think Tzeetch Arcanites for example).

>It seems like there's only four or five fully fleshed out 'sigmar' armies, a bunch of 'old fantasy armies' and then just a cluster fuck of random models that dont fit in anywhere.
Generals Handbook 2 will flesh out some armies a bit more, as it will include allegiance abilities for some armies. We have no idea which ones right now, but as we already touched on, the older factions are in a bit of a silly state.

>Secondly, I've been looking into the Sylvaneth and a unit of Dryads costs 120 points. Seems fair enough, but i can take 10 - 30 of them, and it says nothing about costing additional points for a higher number.
>Am I to understand that a player bringing in two units of 10 Dryads would be paying twice as many points as a player bringing in one unit of 30 Dryads?
No, the Generals Handbook CLEARLY SAYS that you can increase a unit by its minimum, paying the cost every time. Basically, you either 120 for 10, 240 for 20 or 360 for 30, with nothing inbetween. If you only have 16 models, you pay for 20.

>and why, if the minimum is 10, does it say on the Dryad warscroll, that a unit of them is made up of 5 or more models?
Warscroll applies to all game modes, Generals Handbook minimum model count only applies to Matched play. It obviously overrides the warscroll.

thanks for the, I realise now I could have answered most of my own questions if I just read more of the rule books.

I'm getting the vibe so far that sigmar is geared more towards casual/friendly games and 40k is geared more heavily towards list building and competitive play, would you say that's fair?

Also, I'm breaking into sigmar with a friend, who has expressed interest in sylvaneth and has already bought a box of Dryads.

What current Sigmar armies (not looking for an old fantasy army out of fear of them getting squatted) have the most support? It seems to me like only the stormcast, sylvaneth, skydwarves, seraphon and khorne followers have any real support. Am I missing any?

>>54309314
Tzeentch and Beastclaw Raiders

>>54309314
>40k is geared more heavily towards list building and competitive play
Oh sweet summer child, you are so innocent.

Because of Battalions and Allegiance abilities, list building has it's own depth in Age of Sigmar. It is more than capable of being competitive. Right now, there are more possibilities for list building than 40k, but obviously that is because 40k has not had their first codex release yet.

No old armies are going to get squatted. The cuts already happened. Anything that survived is not going anywhere.
The Seraphon "support" is basically non-existent. Their book is pre-generals handbook, which means it has no information for allegiance abilities.

As I said, the Generals Handbook 2 will have more allegiance stuff for dozen or so existing factions, which will make more playable. If I had to guess, they would likely be for the larger, more "complete" factions, so things like Seraphon and Fyreslayers, who had a battletome before the GH, and larger old factions like the Dispossessed, Wanderers etc

Lol, seraphon, chaos and skaven are legacy armies you fucking pleb. Enjoy your shitty old models.

I finished my Blightkings about a week or so ago. Now I am working on some 40k stuff though

>>54314361

Put some bright silver highlights on the edges. The metal should be worn away and fresh there if it's been used recently/in use currently. Highlight that pinkish flesh. Clean up your base rims. Otherwise pretty good job. Nice colour scheme.

>>54314361
The flesh looks a little flat on the dude front left.

Rust looks good though

>>54314389
>>54314399
Thanks for the input, and I will try and highlight the rust a bit more, and the skin is highlighted, it might just be the bad lighting that makes it look darker. Plus I was getting to the point were I mainly wanted them painted instead of looking at some grey dudes

>>54314420
I would also use a technical to make those open sores and the tentacles coming from his gaping stomach maw/wound wet and pussy. You know, to make them extra gross.
Just me though. They are certainly gaming quality and a hell of a lot better than mine

>>54314498
>technical
Do you mean Nurgles rot or are you thinking of another technical paint? Also thanks for giving me help and pointers

>>54314531
Nurgle's rot is more like a dripping snot than a puss IMO but there used to be a clear version I used once that just made stuff glisten like it was wet. It wasn't a Citadel paint so I don't know the name of the equivalent if Citadel has one

>>54314569
I have 'ard coat if that's what you are referring too?

High Elves, non-pestilens skaven and something for death actually

I actually dig Sylvaneth since i love nature-themed armies.

Do wish it had some centaurs/Dryads though (not the tree kind), for some variety.

I would first off recommend you in thinning down your paints, and maybe watch a few of Duncan's painting videos on YouTube. We all gotta start somewhere

So I've got a bunch of juan diaz daemonettes and a metal lord of slaanesh on daemon mount (the snake thing)

Can't find a painting guide on youtube, they're all for the butt-ugly plastic daemonettes. Where might I find some painting tips?
