Age of Sigmar General /aosg/

TFW prosecutors are the best looking stormcast but have mediocre rules.

Stormcasts need exactly 0 new models, and exactly 3 more upgrade packs

Is it possible to make an army of trolls and giants? I'm not really interested in making a horde army or painting rank and file, but the idea of having a few big players seems cool. Sort of like Imperial Knights in 40k.

>>54320069
Yes.

>>54320069
You can't in matched play. While the forgeworld troll hag fills the leader requirement, no trolls fulfill the battleline requirements. Would be cool if FW made it so the hag lets you take fellwater troggoths as battleline.

I'm a 40k player and I want to start a lizardmen army. It seems like the new 40k rules are like those of AoS, so I kinda get them. The question is, where do I start? I want a Saurus army with no Slann or Skinks, is it feasible? The start collecting box seems like a bargain with basically free Warriors and Knights. Which makes me wonder, can I build anything else besides an Old One?
Amd besides the Start Collecting, what other units should I buy?

>>54319683
Soon

>>54320252
YES

>>54320195
I'm confused. I guess I need to go through the rules again. Can I just take something else as battle line? I kinda just wanted a troll army.

>>54319820
Really? I hate the models. I actually think the liberators and retributors are the best ones in the line, mostly cause they fit the tank/warrior stereotype the best.

>>54320252
Yes. If you want to focus on sauruses, you'll also want a Sunblood hero. You probably want a stegadon or bastilodon for shooting support.
People often suggest Temple guards for saurus armies, but I think they're just mortal wound bait for their price.

>>54320325

Nah dude, stormcasts are celestial sky-warriors. Nothing embodies that more than golden warriors on wings of light slamming into the enemy from above.

>>54320276
Dead in two ways ;)

>>54320322
There is no giant battleline. You have to pick other destruction unit that is not giant but is a battleline

>>54320322
Maybe you can fluff your dudes, sp that they have some goblins following them around, eating the scraps they leave behind and act almost like vultchers under their massive sizes, but in fear of being eaten themselves they will often scout ahead a form the literal meatshield for the giants and trolls. So just get 2 units of goblins and a hero and you are good to go

>>54320356
Why wouldn't I want Temple Guards? Aren't they just elites Warriors? True, their bodyguard skill won't be used without Slaans, is it all they're good for?

>>54320679
Take the troll hag from FW as hero. More thematic that way.

>>54320800
If you play using points ,they're expensive and have one wound each, which in a meta that has large number of mortal wounds (attacks that go through wound/save rolls) means they are no more durable than basic infantry.

Where can I find more information about greenskinz in current setting? Also is there a synergy between greenskinz and any grot faction? PDF-related is the only one I have found

>>54320679
Nice advice. I think I could roll with this. Cheers!

>>54320679
>>54321081
So while I love that idea turns out I need a lot of goblins to make that work. Not something I want to do. Trying to play AoS with as few models as possible just to get into it. Are there any smaller destruction battle line units?

>>54321337
Ogors might work? They could also fit into the big guys theme you want

>>54321484
Still got to have 15 orruks to get that battle line though right?

Whats cheaper in muniz to start with, Khorne bloodbound or Ghouls? I guess Khorne because the starter sets?

>>54321696
Khorne Ghouls

40k 8th edition sure flatlined this game

It's almost like sigmar was only popular because people didnt want to play the shitty 7th edition of 40k

>>54321941
it's sad

Nah, once GEE DUBZ makes more releases for AoS, peeps will get right back into it.

That's my story but even with new 40k rules I'm still gonna stick with AoS. I have played the 8e 40k but Sigmar feels so fuckin comfy

Fag factions BTFO for easily the best army.

>>54325129

>>54325204
Point is that they're full melee. Slaanesh is also objectively the weakest chaos army in 40k.

>>54325221
fair enough. never played 40k.

do you think you can build the stonehorn as a thundertusk?

Guys, let's talk about the Path to Glory

>Contained in the 88-page softback:
>(...)
>- Warband Tables – these are the rules used to determine the champion, followers and rewards for your warbands. Included are tables for the following factions:
>Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Beasts of Chaos, Skaven, Clans Pestilens,
>Kharadron Overlords, Stormcast Eternals, Fyreslayers, Sylvaneth, Seraphon, Order (chosen from Human, Aelf and Duardin models),
>Ironjawz, Beastclaw Raiders, Bonesplitterz, Destruction (chosen from Orruk, Grot and Ogor models),
>Flesh-Eater Courts and Death;

So each GA has some factions clearly promoted and some are clearly degraded like Greenskinz not even mentioned as a faction

I'm not surprised, but still I ree.

>>54321079
Currently there isn't much other than the small splashes of info in the warscrolls and in the Destruction grand alliance book. There is a synergy with the Orc Bully and the grot warmachines but you will need to use the Compendium rules for it.

Hello, looking to get into very small scale low budget wargaming but was sad to think the old world warhammer discontinued, until I saw Age of Sigmar

Is the game beginner friendly and if so, what would be the best starter race to roll with? I kinda like the dicky arrogant elves though, or dicky arrogant dwarves.
actually everyone is a dick and arrogant in the warhammer universe

>>54320800
Irrelevant. You don't need Slann for the bonus. It says Seraphon HERO not Seraphon SLANN. So...

>>54320947
If you take Saurus Guards in groups of x3 with a Eternity Warden you end up with 2+ armour save and D3 damage with your 3 attacks if you stay still.

Saurus Warriors are a load of shit because they're way too expensive for what they do. They have worse armour save than a Freeguild Swordsmen and they do less damage too.

Many armies struggle with Mortal Wounds, so it's worthwhile taking Saurus Guard anyway, even if it's just to take Mortal Wounds. 15 Saurus Guard + Eternity Warden means 15 2+ guys able to dish out some damage.

Honestly I'd just spam Bastillidons as I rate Solar Gem as higher than the snake since chances are it'll ignore most units saves.

>>54325384
>>No Slaves to Darkness
Huh, how could I miss that. I thought that GW treats them like a "real" faction desu.
>>54325398
I still can not believe we have no scans of GA books. I know they are not this expensive but on the other hand they cost as much as a basic unit box

>>54325428
>Is the game beginner friendly
Yup, it's designed to be your first wargaming pick
> what would be the best starter race to roll with?
Like everyone desu. Some have more support and some have less but most of them is playable. If you like elves you can pick a Spire of Dawn box and sell the Skaven half and square bases. If you like dwarves you should pick the new Fyreslayers start collecting box - it has great value

Start Collecting! Warbands – if you’re itching to get going, but don’t have the right models for a warband (or just fancy a new one…) then these are the rules for you – they’re designed to work with the Start Collecting! boxes of Warhammer Age of Sigmar models. Simply pick up a box, assemble the miniatures and you’re good to go – these rules have been fine-tuned to offer immediacy and balance.

So they just quasi-squatted few factions but made rulesets for their start collecting boxes?

>>54325277
Looks like they're melding the absurly splintered old world factions into larger block a they should have been forever ago.

>>54325901

>>54320252
Look up the Bloodclaw battalion from the Grand Alliance Order book. Saurus are cool, but you need some objective control or shoity support, and skink units fill those roles exclusively. Lustria Online has a list that can be played with two SC's and 5 units of chameleon skinks.

Would n army of all castellants and doggos work? Gryphon hounds have 3 wounds and get lots of attacks of an enemy is near a castellant. What would the ideal ratio of dogs to castellants be?

>three min strength battle line tax squads of libs

>>54325082
So Daemons of Slaanesh are now their own army huh?

>>54320679

Or take Throgg, the Troll King.

I'm kinda motivated to play Slaves to Darkness because they seem pretty solid, and I prefer Undivided over any of the specific Chaos gods, but they seem like one of the armies that GW has no intention of supporting.

>>54323126
Subjective. Might be to you, might not be to others.

How well does a shooty stormcast army go?

>>54329544
Didn't think there are any rules for chaos trolls?

>>54329269
You can't say they're not supporting them when they had new and recent fluff and models. That's the definition of support, however small it may be.

>>54330674
Compendium.
Warriors of Chaos used to be able to take Chaos Trolls and Chaos Ogres. If the army was lead by Throgg, they became Core (Battleline) choices.

>>54330644
what bothers me the most is how terrible the poses are.
instead of looking agile as fuck they are static like a bunch of lumpy potatoes.
even the seekers poses looks terrible to the old models

>>54330668
Judicators are SCE battleline and rock solid

Both flavors of vanguard-raptor pack some serious firepower

Knight-venator is pretty cool, though no command ability so ymmv

Lord aquillor lets you move around your shooty units really fast

Slaanesh is shit-tier though, never seen the appeal beyond neckbeards jerking off to Daemonettes

>>54325461
Shit advice, saurus guard are bad, all decent armies deal significant amounts of mortal wounds and 200 points for 10 models with no mortal save and 1 wound is shit. The etrrnity starhost is shit, expensive, makes you bunker up and limits your movement if you want the bonus. Youll win vs the few armies with limited mortal output, mostly compendium armies, but even ironjawz have sources of mortals thatll dumpster your elite fragile units.

Best advice for a saurus army is aim for a bloodclaw or sunclaw starhost. Ive had great success with a list using the sunclaw starhost and a big unit of warriors. Then suppliment with 10 chamo skinks, a skink priest and a u it of rippers in a shadowstrike. Carno is also decent in a saurus army.

>>54321079
They look cool together as an army but do not have special synergy rules. However, they do complement each other well, ie they have different roles on the battlefield and in that way both have their uses.

>>54321620
He said Ogors, the ogres in AoS. As they're as big as trolls, you'll need a lot less of them

So I'm thinking of getting into AoS and messing about with 1000points of Order. Looking at so far something like

Anointed
10x phoenix guard
10x phoenix guard
5x dragon blades
(640/1000)

Bit stuck of what to round out that core with though, there's the option of one of the two phoenixes, but I think I'd quite like some sort of ranged attack, but I'm undecided about artillery vs archers or similar. Wouldn't necessarily have to be High Elves to finish out the 1000.

Any thoughts?

>Is wargaming even fun and worth the price?
Yes, but if you want classic fantasy armies (dwarves, evles and stuff) you might want to look into a different game, because the classic are pretty shitty right now in AoS and on the edge of going oop. It's not as bad as some shitposters here imply, but I wouldn't advise a new guy to play one of the 'old' factions.
Check your local scene, you might find people playing kings of war or other alternative games.
If you REALLY want to play elves in AoS, wait for the new dark elves that are supposed to be released this year (rumors say it's going to be cthluhu-elves).

>>54336287
Nah fuck that play what you want. Fucking none of the current plastics are going oop and anyone who implies they are is lying.

and from his BL book:
"...He leapt to the top of the bloody heap and raised his sword to the heavens, just as a shaft of moonlight broke through the clouds and poured down over him. Picked out in the spotlight, the grinning prince could be seen for miles around and the knights nearest to him stumbled in confusion. None of them had ever witnessed such a dazzling vision of unholy power. The column of light resembled the gaze of a god, shining down benevolently on its most beloved child. A glittering mantle of snowflakes surrounded Sigvald as he surveyed his brutish enemies. “AVERT YOUR GAZE!” he cried, his voice ringing out across the battlefield and his eyes blazing with scorn. He turned his sword towards Mord Huk’s knights. “DO NOT PRESUME TO TURN SUCH REPULSIVE FACES IN MY DIRECTION!” To their amazement, whole swathes of the army looked away in shame, humbled by the prince’s words. Others roared in defiance and launched themselves at him, but before they could reach the Geld-Prince, their brother-knights clubbed them to the ground, desperate to protect the glittering prince..."

if you plan on not using fanatics you will have a lot of model to rebase, around 180 if you want to make 3 units of 60gobbos (the maximun dimension possible) and that will give you the bulk of the army with 1080 total points. you can use the remaining ones to include a mangler squigs, which is a great damge dealer, especially on big groups of one wound models, and the other smaller squigs and squig hopper. you should also consider using the squig herders with the squigs.

You will also need a moonclan warboss to be your leader, if you have an old skarsnik model you can use it as a warboss with squig, that can use the battlebrew to do as much damge as the maglers.
The moonclan shaman also has one of the most reliable and powerfull spell in the game and it only costs 60 points.

If you want to make some lists you can use the army builder in the OP to have some sense of the point sistem.

Pic related is a 1500 points army if you want to use little infantry and a lot of squigs

Hi /tg/.

Have this army, in some state of painting.

Allegiance: Tzeentch

Heroes
Lord Of Change (300)
Ogroid Thaumaturge (160)
Gaunt Summoner (100)
Tzaangor Shaman (120)
Chaos Lord On Daemonic Mount (140)
- General

Battleline
10 x Pink Horrors Of Tzeentch (140)
10 x Tzaangors (180)
5 x Chaos Knights (200)
- Ensorcelled Weapons
- Slaves to Darkness Battleline
10 x Chaos Warriors (180)
- Hand Weapon & Shield

Units
3 x Tzaangor Skyfires (160)
3 x Tzaangor Enlightened on Disc (160)
1 x Chaos Gorebeast Chariots (100)
- War Flail
- Mark of Chaos: None

Battalions
Tzaangor Coven (40)

Total: 1980/2000

I'm very happy with the list and how it looks - I can combine my old tzeentch army with cool new models. I'm not sure what artefacts and command traits would be good. What do you suggest? The lord on daemonic mount has the Daemon keyword so might have shenanigans there, and the Tzaangor coven gives me an extra artefact.

>>54340230
Please tell me you at least have nets with those spears?

>>54340813

I sure do, plenty of netters, actually the original metal ones (when Netters + Clubbers were a thing) I don't really understand how I apply netters... do you have to pay for them? How many can you have? How many is optimal per 10 Goblins, shit like that

>>54334190
Well, that sucks but thank you for your answer. It seems that the only way to make greenskinz playable is mixing them with savage orruks and sadly I don't like it

>>54340848
Netters, like all unit upgrades, are free. The FAQ clarified that you can take three netters for every 20 models in the unit, which you should always do, because netters are the tits. Triple the attacks and a hit debuff aura make this a no-brainer.

>>54340848
In a unit of 60 you may take up to 9 netters
3 for every 20 goblins.
You want them in the thick of things, because they give a -1 to hit to all enemy models in 2 inches of them.

Take the maximum, i.e. 3 per 20 gobbos, put themn all in the font and go nuts. Even unit command is generally less important than the netters, so feel free to throw champion, banner guy and gong basher under the bus as needed.

Okay, I didn't even know I want to run a khorne warband but now I'm sure I have to make one

>>54341391
I'd say keep a banner. Gong is usually not needed after the first two turns, especially because of the Destruction allegiance ability. Champion is a slight stat boost to one attack. But banner-icon? A +1 to your save against ranged is a huge plus.

>>54330850
>Judicators are SCE battleline and rock solid
Judicators suck

5 attacks at 3+/3+ with only -1 and 1 damage is not worth 160 points.

Even with the special weapon they're not worth it. Liberators are a better battleline choice.

Only time you should run Judicators is to fill out a battalion requirement, like Aetherstrike

>>54341561

What would be your choices for a ranged-focused Stormcast then?

Sorry for the trouble, I've not actually had any experience with AoS yet.

>>54341587
the premier stormcast shooting army (and arguably the best list in the game right now) is the Aetherstrike Force

in that list you do use judicators as your battleline because you need to bring 2 for the battalion anyway

>>54341627

Thanks. I'll look into that.

I was thinking of starting a Stormcast army and I wanted to ask some questions.

Can you build a good army using the starter box and start collect box or do you need to get the individual unit boxes? The individual box sets seem a bit pricey just to get the weapon upgrades.

How well would a Amazon/Joan of Arch Stormcast work?

>>54325277

I think the absence of Slave to Darkness is a typo, where is the generic chaos for the everchosen?

>>54342815

Maybe the slaves to darkness units are available to all the chaos factions. Most of them can take marks.

So, thoughts on the three new Start Collecting boxes?

Which one looks the strongest out of the box?
Which is the best value?

>>54342922

I thought that too, but at least the should have written Chaos (Everchosen and Slave to Darkness), I'm curious to read it to discover that.

>>54325277
Does anyone else think the new PtG lumping all of the aelves/duardin/humans into one Order faction is kind of lame?

Like, I wanted unique rune-based upgrades and stuff for a Dispossessed warband, not one table that's supposed to service all good-aligned non-SCE into one generic thing.

Also saying "oooh 20 warbands!" when SCE, Fyreslayers. Skaven, KO, Tzeentch, Khorne, Ironjawz, Sylvaneth, and Death already had tables...(if we count the generic Chaos table that had Brayherds/StD and such as whatever Beasts of Chaos is gonna be) that's almost half that aren't new.

>>54340620

I've no idea about equipment etc, just thought your army sounded cool. Are your chaos warriors/knights painted in tzeenthcian style?

>>54343133

I think it is abit lame. I worry for the older armies, they seem far more interested in pushing entirely new factions than doing much with the older ones. I can understand why but I think the game needs a strong free people's base like the empire was, if anything to help understand in the fluff what the majority of humans armies looks like. Same with the duardin, aelves and greenskins. Even if it was just a tome and no new models. I thnk it's weird not having a "proper" default humans army. I guess it's supposed to be SC, but they make more sense to me as the elite strike force type of shtick.

I don't even play those armies, I've got a hodge podge of iron jawz and tzeentch.

It's high time the old hammer factions got updated and khorne/sc stopped getting so much attention.

How can I handle Tzeentch Demons as Bloodbound?

We usually play at 1000 points and he has quite a bit of shooting between burning chariots, pink horrors and flamers, and once I do make it into combat, he fucks me with a thaumaturge and tzaangors.

They're pretty nice. They certainly look better (fancier) than regular state troops. The heads that come with the ironsides could easily be used to represent some azyr-style troops, what with the more roman-esque helmets.

Yeah, I've always loved Tzeentch and Age of Sigmar is the first time since 6th that I can field my mixed Mortal/Beastmen/Daemon army. I'm a little sad that you can't mark Warhounds or Beastmen, but the Tzaangor models are really good...

Everything is muted blue and gold, I'm kinda struggling to get a good scheme for my Tzaangors, but my mortals have been Tzeentch for years.

Switch one of your grots mobs to bows. They aren't reliable ranged, but 20+ shots still scares the piss out of your opponent. The biggest shortcoming of this list is a lack of mobility, but you're Destruction Allegiance ability will take care of that for the most part.

>>54342425
Starter box and Start Collecting are a very good basis, as they give you a good selection of basic units. The starter box models are perfectly serviceable and in some cases look better than their regular versions, such as the Liberator-Primes and the Lord-Celestant on Dracoth. The only real issues are the fact that two of the Retributors from the each box are monopose duplicates, so if that bothers you you'll need to start converting, and the fact that you have no starsoul maces for those.

>>54346882
You know what you should do for tzeench? Especially tzaagors? Learn the rules of basic color theory, what goes good with what and whatnot. And then break them in a different way for EVERY SINGLE MODEL
On that subject, I'm surprised more people don't have tzeench models with metallic bits that shouldn't be

>>54347164
I would love to try something like that, but I already made the artistic decision to go with a very muted and limited palette, adding bright clashing colours would make them stand out in a bad way imho... I'm also struggling to get my pink horrors to work but I'll find a way I hope.

>>54347177
That's the intention though. They're supposed to look ugly, jarring, and out of place. They're tzeench's playthings after all

Question about the book Plague gardens
So Sigmar sends the stormcasts to the garden as a big fuck you to Nurgle? At least this is implied as in Sigmar knew about the gate and that they would enter? Or do I just read into things that arent there? And they all make it out?

Does anyone else also has problems to get some gaming?

I don't have the space for a table top gaming table. So I have to go to my FLGS (it has two tables in the cellar). Problem is 1st: The owner is an assblasted fantasy fag. 2nd: 40k is all over the place.

I swear to god I would like to beat the smug out of the owner whenever he says "Sorry anon, the tables are reserved the whole day today for 40k." And when I come down there is often one table free!

Sorry for the blogpost I just had to get it of my chest.

Are you saying he straight up doesn't allow age of sigmar to be played or doesn't sell age of sigmar stuff? If he's selling age of sigmar stuff that's unreasonable. If not, then I don't see why he can't do what he likes.

As a WHFB player, I just now realised that AoS has more to do with Necromunda and less with WHFB, and stopped hating the new game.

Is playing flesh eater courts with points even fun? The command ability of the heros can't be used if you have not paid in advance for the new units, which I would guess is pretty negative compared to other factions command ability.

This one, with dryads in units of 10. Its an objective based game

>>54363493
That's bullshit, a shop owner not wanting to sell a product is very reasonable.
>>54363568
If anon was saying that, then I fully agree. Don't sell a game you don't want to support in-shop.

>>54360548
>significant numbers
You mean oe shitposter?

>>54364495
If you make it they will come.

>>54360548

There will be Aelves.

But people hoping for classic High elf aesthetic are setting themselves up for disappointment.

>>54363959
GHB II will have FEC command traits, relics and allegiance, so I'm sure it will get more interesting. Also, their main gimmick is not the mediocre summoning abilities, but rather the reinforcement skills that return models to units, which are not restricted by summoning.

>>54339744
I'd like it more if it wasn't such a pain in the ass to tell when it was dried.

>>54364683

literally who

>>54359360
The pestilens book is for a pure pestilans army. As you probably have an army from different clans, you only need to use the free warscrolls. You can get the same warscrolls in GA: Chaos or just download them from the GW website. If you want to play games with points, you'll need to buy the general's handbook, or just use the free warscroll builder on warhammer community. There will be a new general's handbook later this year so just use the warscroll builder.

Does a scan of the Grand Alliance: Chaos book even exist? I've trawled through all of the pastebin links and come up short; I just really want to see the Skryre stuff that's apparently in there.

>>54365819
It's 1 battallion.

>>54365670
No, get the GHB. Buy it or pirate it for fuck sake. Fucking tired of people saying the ghb is only for points, aos groups are full of retards asking fucking stupid question about summoning and rules of one and armybuilding because they were told not to get the ghb and just use one of the armybuilders.

Not him but chill man. Here, have a cat.

>>54365924
That's a fucking legacy cat. Have fun with your old and ugly cat, felinecuck.

'Nid player here, looking to get into AoS. If i was going to use nids as a proxy, what army would be the closest to that sort of play style?

>>54365959
I don't think any particular army is suited with the tyranid aesthetic. But if you have daemons of Chaos in some form, they are perfectly interchangeable.

>>54365954
DON'T DISS THE CAT

>>54365972
No, go play with your old ugly cat you felinecuck. Age of Sigmar only has room for new cats with thunderboltz n shiet on tem

>Projecting this hardt

>>54364683
Yeah, the "new elves" will most likely go the way of the Sylvaneth. They'll kinda resemble elves, likely be related to them in some way, but that's about where it stops.

Which is kind of a shame, particularly since I really like the Wanderers and Dark Elves.

>>54365906
I advised against GHB because a new one will come out soon. I'm not sure why you'd like anon to buy the GHB right now.

>They'll kinda resemble elves, likely be related to them in some way, but that's about where it stops.

that wouldn't be terrible if they did it right. Its more likely that if we are looking at a sylvaneth comparison that they do pick up at least some of the old units to put in the new army.

>>54367542

We already have the Tenebrael Shard and the Mistweaver Saih and they look 100% elves.

>>54368313
>they look 100% elves.
More like eldar.

>>54368350
Agreed, but still distinctively elf like, not some radical iteration like >>54367542 suggests.

Death only has FEC and generic in Path to Glory. No death updates anytime soon.

>>54368350
>>54368651
Eldar are at their core just High/Dark elves transplanted into space anyway. Hell, Witch Elves and Wyches were near enough clones of each other before the big Dark Eldar range update, I'm not really surprised those two new models have got a bit of Dark Eldar in their design.

>>54369525
>Eldar are at their core just High/Dark elves transplanted into space anyway.
Yet still they have sort of different design.

>>54368350
its pretty retarded to say that AOS shouldn't have Aelves because 40K has Eldar.

40K has space marines too so should AOS have storm-cast? Its hard to argue that SC wasn't a deliberate transport of SM into fantasy.

>>54368313
That is true. Plus, the Scourge Privateers made an appearance in City of Secrets, and there's going to be a dark elf character in that upcoming book series.

Elves are just in kind of a weird place, I guess.

>>54371012
>and there's going to be a dark elf character in that upcoming book series.
It's a vampire

>>54371063
Kind of a shame, but I'm happy it's a vampire. Death could use more exposure.

>>54372146
could be both

Anyone have a picture of a stormcast painted like his hammer was glowing red hot from the inside? Ive seen it before

What's the best method of Stormcast busting the Bonezone? Emphasis on Raptors and try to mow them down before they get in range?

assuming you're facing hordes, Decimators seem like a solid choice.

>>54372600
Shank the wizard

>>54372659
>>54372687
Right, completely forgot about Decimators despite owning five of them.

So, Decimators for cleave, and some Palladors or Hunters for flanking and shanking the Necromancer and/or Wight King. Maybe even deep striking Raptors.

>>54368715
Disputes the shear denial we show when people say "ded gaem", I'm actually starting to believe them. I've only played AOS before, but I'm really beginning to feel a little disenfranchised. We get a release, and then sit through months of 40k releases waiting for a long promised release of something that really, will have little impact on the game (ghb2). I dunno, maybe I'm just feeling this way because my shop refuses to carry or order in any AOS products, and the community where I am is shrinking to nothing.

Nurgle battletome WHEN? GW seems to think everyone likes new heroc sized marines

>>54375569
It's just a lull from 8th edition which, granted, has been getting a lot of attention, but GW is tossing out the occasional supplement like Skirmish and Path to Glory to pay a little tribute.

I'm thinking 40k will slow down after the Konor campaign ends.

>>54375569
>will have little impact on the game (ghb2)
Unless you are the fyreslayers player. That guy is gonna love it.

>>54378600
Guilty. I'm going to love being able to use a Warrior Kinband in a 1000 points game.

>>54375569
Well, that's just your personal experience. It's not representative of AoS as a whole. Where I am, it's quite popular. But again, that's just my personal experience. We'd need to see sales figures to know exactly.

>>54375569
In my case AoS has a really massive scene about 3 hours north, but is totally dead in the city I am in.

Kind of frustrating, to have such a lively community of three nights a week of games, but just out of reach.

If I want to run 1000 points of Tzeentch daemons, how many units of how many horrors should I run since each pink splits to two blues and each blue to a pair of brimstones? The whole splitting thing along with the great colours and greater daemon and heralds are what attracts me to this army as my first.
