WHERE IS MY FIMIR BALEFIEND FORGEWORLD???
WHY WON'T YOU GIVE HIM TO ME???

>>54826801
Maybe it's going to be an event exclusive? Or they're waiting for a new campaign.

Lexicanum needs help getting things up to date for age of sigmar.

Has anyone played with or against bile trolls or plague toads? What were your experiences like?

Are soul grinders decent? Never seen one fielded.

I think its weirs that the plague hulk and nurgle daemon prince disappeared from the FW website.

what is a good army for lonely people with no friends?

Old thread past bump limit

Squigs as battleline. Discuss.

>>54831189
I think it could work as a fun army but the squig warboss seems kind of eh by comparison to the normal goblin. So ya more bounce and chomp but without damage potential.

>>54831276
The boss off the squig can still buff the squigs with double damage.

>>54831330
Isnt it the case onmy the general can use command abilities? The squig boss only has extra boingy

>>54831097
they already FAQ'd that you can only have one unit of fanatics hiding in a moonclan unit anyways

so you can't hide a bunch of 1 fanatic units in a moonclan unit

>>54831417
Yeah but you can just use the boss on foot as the general. Really it depends on what you need that game. Need the squigs to get the somewhere fast? Take boss on squig. Needs something to lay down some hurt? Take boss on foot.

>>54831484
I think he meant that it was sometimes more cost effective to have just 1 fanatic in a unit as a speed bump to stop enemy charges rather than spam a crap ton of 1 unit fanatics in a single unit.

>>54831519
Ah I thought the requirment was to have squig boss as general. In that case I can see their logic to balance changes besides increasing the squig boss points so high. Looking good so far though. Now I just hope Troggoths got a point reduction. Would be nice buff.

>>54831484
FAQ says I have to release them all at once not that there can only be one unit hiding.

>>54831594
Yeah that would be nice. 200 for three seems a touch too much as they currently are

As far as I know, it just requires MOONCLAN Allegiance. So just keep your stuff Moonclan and you get them squigs/ squig hoppers as battleline.

>>54829193
Plague toads aren't too scary. I'd still look out, they tend to be a good distraction.

>>54831189
I'd like it. Squig bois aren't overly powerful. They pack a punch but can't really take one. It'd make for an interesting dynamic for sure.

>>54831747
It certainly makes making a moonclan army cheaper. That said id still at least like 2 night gob units as core. Squigs with herders are fine but hoppers seem kind of mediocre. Also more spin2win the better.

Question about the setting

So is it kind of like Stargate with realmgates serving as links between fuck huge distance apart planets? Because how the lore makes it sound like each realm is some infinite expanding landmass of various things always confuses the fuck out of me.

>>54831863
Yeah as far as I have heard, hoppers are not worth their points. One guy I know keeps telling me people just haven't figured out how to use them properly but honestly? They just kinda blow.

Boy I kind of want to get into this because Sigmarines really Dark my Souls, but jesus christ why does everything have a stupid fucking name?

>>54831917
Ya if you look at their damage and attacks its not really good at all. Has the guy actually used hoppers well?

Cause while I dont have points on hand, i can only see their real use as very cheap shooting fodder or a charge screen.

I hope GH2 fixes slaves to darkness. I have a half finished S2D army but stopped because the army is just so bland and boring to play. The army lacks rend, damage, range, and general synergy between units.

>>54831894
In the lore sigmar has walked across all the realms, so they're not infinite, just big enough for your dudes to fit in however you want

>>54831962
Just play S2D Mark of Khorne

You get access to bloodsecrators, slaughter priests and magic weapons, magic armour, command traits, etc

>>54831956
The guy doesn't even play grots. I'm the lone grots player in my store. I've run one or two games with them using them specifically to screen or nab objectives, but they have no staying power or real bite to them to be effective at either.

I'm sure if (big hopeful if) Moonclan gets a battletome, there will be something to make them more effective and enticing for certain, but until them, they are the weakest grot "cavalry" choice.

>>54832020
I think since they reboxed them there is an OK chance of a battletome. Worst case at least we know GW is supporting them in that they are still integral to the range.

Huh. Its always the ones who DONT play your army who think they know. Good to know though. Got my box of grots (sadly square based) and troggoths so underway myself. Will start with skirmish first mind.

Makes sense with the hoppers though. Look nice but just glass with no cannon.

>no real bite to them

Nice

>>54832111
Yeah I am hoping they get a battletome, Night gobbos were what got me into warhammer to begin with, but the fact that one way or another with this GHB update they are getting support is nice and the fact that they reboxed them gives me some hope

>>54832159
Lets keep our heads (hoods) in there so. Least we aret the normal orcs and goblins. We are safe but poor gits didnt get much of anything in the review. Lets keep bouncing on. Hope to post my WIP here in the coming weeks.

Looking forward to seeing it

Is anyone going to pickup that reaper bones blood thirster from bones 4?

when florida man wins that lawsuit GW has to surrender all their warhammer trademarks to the public domain anyway.

it will never happen. that affidavit reads like a schizophrenic person's word salad.

>>54833503
Is it utter nonsense or is there a chance this guy might do some real damage?

>>54833578
florida is a batshit state with a screwed up court system, but a lot of his claims are pretty crap.

He says GW committed fraud because of some very flimsy arguments about how in the early days they drew a lot of inspiration from other sources. Claiming WFB and AoS are "a 110% ripoff of tolkein" is just wrong, even if the inspiration was clearly there (as it was for D&D, Warcraft, and almost every fantasy novel written in the past few decades)

he says GW has a monopoly on sci and fantasy wargames in the US, but numbers say GW is actually #2 in both sci-fi and fantasy at the moment. Hardly a monopoly.

He also calls out GW on their online sales policies that ran from 2003 to 2017. Not sure why he waited until AFTER they revise the policy to file a suit though...

and a bunch of other batshit stuff about how his personal store went under or something and that he blames GW.

most of the stuff will get throne out, but the stuff about price fixing or the online policy might be a sticking point for GW, or maybe mot. GW has a very well paid legal department, so I expect an out of court settlement with a gag order to be the worst that ever comes of it.

>>54833578
the guy not only submitted an unintelligible rant outlining all the wrong doings GW has done, he also incorrectly submitted it and has been warned to follow proper procedure

absolutely nothing will happen

>>54833712
So basically it got thrown out before it even got to court

Complete newb to AOS here. What is the general direction of AOS for the next 12 months? I kinda want to get in but I'm not really interested in the armies they have out right now.

As a side note, i still have a full high elves army from 8th edition, is it worth bringing to a game?

Don't like wargaming, but I like collecting the minis, painting them, and putting them on display.

I'm looking to create a scene to put inside my glass stand, complete with painted terrain and all, of 2 big armies clashing together. I've decided to go with Stormcast Eternals for the first army, but I'm not sure about the second one.

Who do the SE usually fight the most? Archaon's dudes? Or some other Chaos faction?

>>54837951
thematically and lorewise the SCE vs Chaos is quite proper.
Including a good mix of men and demons would be fitting.

>>54837515
There's plenty of third party options for 28mm Knights/Peasants. From the cheap and cheerful stuff from Wargames Foundry, the decent value Perry Miniatures (who actually designed the Bretonnian range) to the high quality & high cost stuff from the likes of Gamezone or TMS.
If you only play at a GW then yeah you're shit out of luck unless you want to get gouged on eBay.

I may play 40k, but Warhammer fantasy battles is where my heart will lay, It still hurts mates.

>>54838301
sorry that your game died anon, but wfb's awful rules and derpy models kept so many out of the game that it has now become successful since being shitcanned and turned into something fun. You have your own general, go commiserate there.

Today I went to my LGS and found AoS isnt played there. I go to my local GW down the road and they got an AoS night each tiesday averaging, supposedly, 8-10 people. Now even anons on /tg/ know some characters they mert at either LGS and GW but GW tends to stand out more.

My main concern is either im too old (kids) or too young (40+) people. Also the usual type of characters you tend to run across. Should I bite the bullet and just go?

>>54839182
just go and have fun

I wish there was any place at all nearby that played games

I would go for Archaon, some Varanguards, and maybe a bit of each of the Chaos factions

In that case, you could throw in a bit more from the Order guys aswell
Seraphon hate chaos, so they could be a great thematic allies

How good is the Storm of Sigmar set for pitching AoS to locals with no /tg/ experience?

>>54842365
I'm gonna be honest with you - I bought it as my first AoS-related purchase and I didn't play it a single time desu. I forgot about it and bought a Spire of Dawn box - 74 minis are more than enough and I sold spare square bases for 20% of the box cost

How are pestilens in path to glory? I don't own much else and my store is having a campaign.

>>54842706
I think Path to Glory has far less emphasis on how "strong" an army is. Its just a nice way to introduce people to the game and armies. If you like them, go for it, simple. I would go the army I love in a heartbeat regardless.

>>54842706
Plaguemonks become insane with seething tide. That's 20-30 4+/4+ attacks with rerolled hits on top of all the banner and instrumental abilities. AND THATS JUST FOR 1 UNIT

>>54837920
-if the monks are out of range of the plague furnace, laugh and charge first the monks.

DON'T EVER GET CHARGED
JUST DON'T
DON'T

shooting cripples them hard. no armour sucks.

and also
even if they are in range of the furnace
charge first
don't ever get charged
I once killed a full health gordrakk in one 20 rat monk charge
And I even havent the plague furnace, just one priest who blessed them.

>>54843049
Different anon, but what would a nice path to glory force be for my plague rats? Was thinking: THE BUBONIC TIDE
-priest
-20 monks
-maybe a furnace, or otherwise more more monks
-some sort of blessing, or MORE MORE MONKS

>>54843181
With monks you never go wrong.
get the furnace later, 20 base rats will die at the first failed charge so you need 20 more.

Furnace tho is great when you have enough monks to survive more than one turn because they can attack even in death. there are simply no units tough enough to survive a good monk charged and then a second round of attack when they kill them.
they are insane-but fragile. your monks will die-and flee of course, they are skaven-in droves, so your main focus will be on hitting first and get more value from the kills.

I don't even play pure pestilens, i have them as a part of my nurgle army but damn, no oother unit hits hard as them.

>>54843269
So if I give them the reward >>54842857
Recommend, then I should be able to wipe a unit in one fight phase with a charge? Also, should I take a plagueclaw? Or would it be better to go with a priest and 40 monks with seething tide?

>>54843330
Plagueclaw can be fun when they hit, but they NEVER FUCKING HIT.
I had one, then i converte dto be a bell tower for my unclean one.
You either take 3 to be sure at least one hits, or you don't.
I personally wouldnt take it unless you have some spare points and already enough monks on the table.

>>54843428
Or you're THAT desperate to have some ranged weaponry

>>54843445
But is 40 monks with 10 attacking at a time (first two lines thanks to reward) enough?

>>54843445
The point is, only one shot is a gamble too big.
it may pass a few turns before it actually hits-and they can still save.
I really tried to like it, and it does a lot of hurt when it finally does, but I found to have more ablative wounds on the table a lot better investment.

>>54843516
Yeah, I only really use mine in regular play with the foul rain congregation

My LGS is going to run a Shadespire Campaign. I have tried to talk some sense into other players but they want to stick with 25 starting renown - vox populi, vox Dei. I was thinking about Plague Priest and 9 Plague Monks but I have a Gorechosen game and it might be a good way to brew up a Khorne Warband.
It seems that my only option is to pick a killy hero and make him even more killy. Should I pick the Skullgrinder (16) or maybe the Aspiring Deathbringer with Goreaxe and Skullhammer (20)?

- Skullgrinder grants two wound rolls rather than one for mortal Khorne dudes if you roll a 4+ hit roll for them but you have to kill a Hero or Monster with a Skullgrinder to gain such blessing. With a Spiteful Destroyer trait this fucker is hitting on 3+ but wounding on 1+.With Chaos Runeblade he can attack 3 times with his Brazen Anvil. Also he has no command ability so I can pick a Merciless Killer for him so two Blood Warriors I'm gonna fit into this warband gonna hit on 3+ and wound on 3+ two times if the blessing triggers.

- Aspiring Deathbringer with Dildoaxe and Pussyhammer is costly but he can attack 6 times per combat. His command ability is not so useful if I'm gonna bring just a single Blood Warrior and a Bloodreaver with him. Spiteful Destroyer makes him 3a 3+ 3+ and 3a 4+ 2+. With Daemon Weapon artifact he can roll 6 times per combat phase for an extra mortal wound on target enemy model within 3". It's like running a one-model warband

What seems to be a better pick for such small games?

>>54844153
How in gods name do they expect 25 starting renown?

Just from what you said I suggest Skullgrinder as he is cheaper. You need all the men you can get.

Are they aware of the warscroll and other warband restrictions? Also you cannot take your Grand Alliance unique items from the main game, you can only take the abilities and Artefacts of power from page 17.

But go for the first option.

>>54844797
>Also you cannot take your Grand Alliance unique items from the main game, you can only take the abilities and Artefacts of power from page 17
I see no rule about this in skirmish rulebook. Could you point me where do you see it? There is only a "only Skirmish and GHB Grand Alliance abilities allowed" rule but see no word about non-skirmish artifacts ban rule

Got a question for those of you that have assembled any of the stormcast and boold warriors figures.

When building the models, both of them have a two piece upper torso (a front and back part). Are these torso pieces cross compatible with on another respectively? Looking to do some converting shit

and if any of you have decent knowledge of how well 40k parts intermix with AoS stuff that would be appreciated as well

With path to glory, if I'm starting a campaign with a reward, do I get to choose it or do I have to roll?

>>54845971
With enough green stuff, cutter and patience, any range in warh is compatible.
If you mean the models in the starter set, I usually porefer to build them first, then cut them and eventually swap parts(unless its the head)

Does anyone know any chinamen that sell a chaos war mammoth?

>>54844797
>Also you cannot take your Grand Alliance unique items from the main game
You are allowed to use the Grand Alliance abilities
>In a Skirmish battle, your warband can only use the allegiance abilities of the Grand Alliance from which they hail
Battle traits, command traits and artifacts are allegiance abilities. It's even stated in the GHB
>This section describes the allegiance abilities available to a Chaos army, including battle traits for the army, command traits for its general and the magical artefacts available to its heroes

>Dead thread

Game is dead

Why'd they kill fantasy for this shit again?

>>54848248
This sells, fantasy didn't.

Is it normal for physical GW store prices to be much higher than its online store prices? Went to one today with prices consistently 5-10 dollars higher than their web store. Pretty shit experience overall. Didn't even have prices listed on the paint or brushes, and the employee couldn't tell me what they cost until he rang them up. Ended up walking out with nothing.

>>54848431
It is not. Generally GW Keeps it's store prices matching the webstore ones EXACTLY. Something seems fishy

>>54848483

Yeah, shit was weird. The SC boxes were the same price, but the individual models were overpriced. I specifically made note of the Branchwych and Excelsior Warpriest, which both cost 30 at the store despite being 23 and 25 respectively online.

Guess it could have been a mislabel, since more often than not things weren't labeled with prices at all.

>>54848573
SC boxes are where you wanna start generally. I don't think there's really any one that's kinda shit. Save maybe ironjawz, but even then it's hard to complain since in the UK the box itself costs LESS than one of it's component parts

>>54848682

Yeah, right now I'm between picking up the Starter Set, Silver Tower, or a couple of SCs. Need enough for two so I can bait my bros in.

>>54848905

Oh and I do realize Silver Tower is a different kind of boxed game, but the value on the minis seems too good to pass up.

>>54848922
>54848922
I don't think silver tower has the needed stuff to make an army though

>>54848982

I guess you're right. I figured I could kind of fudge it into working, and have 2 games for the price of one. So really, down to Starter Set or a couple SCs.

Thinking about Skellies and Malignants so I can combine them into one army in the future while also having two to play small games with.

>>54831703
Anyone reckon they might ever actually unsquat the TKs?

>>54848248
Not this shit again. Go away.

>>54850758
>Implying a range can be unsquatted

Go back to the wfb thread ffs.

The funeral for TK and brets was years ago.

You should be over it but you're still in the denial phase.

The range was discontinued, and they didn't even make it as far as being included in a Grand Alliance book. They're never getting new models, new rules or new support because as a faction they don't fucking exist. Now fuck off with your dumb questions.

Can anyone tell me how Bretonians play? I've been looking at AOS for a while and they're the only thing that interests me. I know I'd have to convert everything, but I kind of like that. I'd just like to know how they do and how they play so I know what to shoot for.

Also orc/chaos chariots are pretty cheap on ebay and if you don't want to evay, historical chariots are an option. 4ground has 2 mdf ones for about 6€.

I dream of a world where these threads aren't immediately embarrassed by TK memeposters.

They are gone.

Forever.

If you want to play TK, AoS isn't for you. Go to the WHFB containment threads.

Take the elfposters with you.

Just to be clear, do you mean a GW store as in an actual franchise store, with GW logo and all, or just a local gaming store selling GW?

If they do sell for more than MSRP and they're official GW store, contact corporate.

As someone who wants to play Seraphon but has 0 interest in any of the Skink units and HQ, as well as not interesting in getting either a Bastiladon & Stegadon, are they still capable on the tabletop.

I just want to use as many Saurus and Carnosaurs as possible.

>>54852281
Is your meta full of trash competitive people, or do you have normal opponents that won't bring the most cheesed out lists? If it's the first, probably don't bother.

Is Kharadron the ugliest range GW has ever produced?

Can you nominate unit leaders to be your general?

My friend bought the Tomb King battalion box but it doesn't come with a character.

>>54853412
Call it Skeletor or Mum-rah, and he will win all the games.

>>54853412
>Once you have nished setting up all of your units, nominate one of the models you set up as your general. Your general has a command ability, as described in the rules for the hero phase opposite.

Seems so, Make sure he kitbashes the one he wants into something cool though.

>>54853679
Can this be literally any model? No req to be a hero or anything?

>>54842081
Seraphon vs Daemons would looks really nice in a display aswell.

>>54851116
Look at the wars rolls and pick either battalions at the end.

If you want to play knights, focus on that and field a mounted army.

If you like playing a classic medieval army, field peasants and a trebuchet, with a paladin as your general.

Once you've picked your army, fill it out with units you want/feel that you need. King Louen is an auto-pick for me since he makes you immune to battleshock.

Grail knights are better than a set of Knights of the realm, since they actually rend.

Whatever you chose, the main thing to keep in mind is that you knights Cannot get charged. Leaving them exposed is a tactical mistake you will regret.

Your biggest problem is that Bretts really lack some forms of mortal wound output.

Good luck and have fun. I play them just about every week, and I check the thread regularly, so ask any questions.

hey guys, do you have a recent rumour engine grid overview with the solutions?

Guys, I feel both attracted and rejected about the Sylvaneth

I find some of theyr miniatures absolutely gorgeus (Alarielle, Kurnoth Hunters, the Treelord) ans many other quite mediocre and overpriced
(both types of Revenants) and the base-line troops, the Dryads, to be boring as hell.

I don't know what feeling surpasses the other

Do you have tips, or advice, are they fun to play with?

>>54853814
Looks like it ya.

>>54854323
Girlfriend plays Sylvaneth. They're really fun, kurnoth hunters are beastly, especially the bow ones.

Your army is going to revolve around teleporting and out maneuvering your opponent through the use of Wyldwoods.

If you worried about affording the army, keep in mind that you have to dish-out more money on at least one of these, preferably three. You might not like the aesthetic of dryads, but they're your cheap fodder. At 2000 pts, we run a large blob of dryads, and two units of revenants, 3 units of kurnoth hunters(3 bows, 6 scythes), Durthu, Drycha and two branchwychs. We also have 3 woods to place down during the fight.

She wins quite regularly, and I would said she is a quarter done painting the army, which is the most daunting part of it in my opinion.

Key points to keep in mind are that the Wyldwoods make your Durthu's 5" movement almost limitless, and you can set up really cool ambush tactics. Make sure you read your wars rolls, because the Wyldwoods can increase your damage output, and count as cover.

Like most heavy armor armies, mortal wounds melt right through your characters, and Sylvaneth don't have much in terms of protection against that.

Drycha deals a lot of mortal wounds, but keep in mind that this paints a target on her back.

I play BCR, let me help you destroy me.

Thundertusks are scary and have 50% chance to heal D3, but their frost-wreathed ice gets charted very quickly. After only 3 wounds they're charted to a D6mw and after 5 it's a D3. They suck in melee.
Stonehorns are tanky, and good on the charge, but very susceptible to tarpits.
Mournfang are alright in combat on the charge but battleshock wrecks them. For instance, even an 8 on battleshock roll makes 200 points run off the table.
Pure BCR has such a low model count that victory points and capturing/holding objectives becomes very difficult depending on the battle. If you play to the battleplan against them you'll often end the game down units and kills, but win on points.

BCR have good movement, tanky but expensive units, and strong 18" mortal wound cannons.
Their hard counters are:
Hordes serve triple-duty against BCR, watering down the impact of MWs, tarpitting stonehorns, and spreading out to control points.
Synergy Ranged out guns BCR's two-odd thundertusks. If they are charted at range and a 50/50 heal is failed, that game is over.

If you're a new player who is playing against 3x Thundertusk + kunnin' ruk orc arrow spam, then tell your opponent to stop copying WAAC cheese lists from 6 months ago, those aren't even winning top spots anymore they just ruin a few people's fun before losing to stormcast.

Is there any chance for new start collecting boxes along the GHB17 release?
I want to make up a Wanderers bundle for my gf so we could play skirmish together - she is running a high aelves army based on Spire of Dawn boxes and they are fun to play in normal games but unfortunately units she has are shit in skirmish games.
I thought about a Nomad Prince, Sisters of the Thorn and Glade Guard or Wildwood Rangers. Wanderers are getting Allegiance Abilities in the GHB17 so it seems that they will have some more of GW love for a while.
The bundle I have planned to buy looks like a good idea for start collecting box and maybe GW will actually release some new boxes with new GHB? Do we have any rumours about this?

>>54856861
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (also, I already call my wight king the barrow lord)

>>54856861
Honestly, besides ptg and skirmish, I doubt I'll be playing anything larger than 1000 points from now on, unless they make it more enjoyable

>>54857097
>Is there any chance for new start collecting boxes along the GHB17 release?
I don't think so. We had our three new SC! Boxes...

>>54856861
oh wow that is a shit ton of new start collecting boxes!

with the new GOT season I'm daily on the verge to make a huge mistake and trying to build a order draconis army

god, I'm so easy to manipulate with this stuff...

>>54857270
it's not sc! they're 400 pt "allied boxes"
we do not even know if they're cheeper than every part alone

>>54857148
I have stick with 1000pts games for the last year and it is the best game format imo. Cheap, easy to play, games are fast and there is nearly no weird-ass combos. Still, I also find these new boxes a nice way to improve the army - even the 1000pts ones
>>54857270
They are just ~400pts boxes at best so I don't think that two of them will be enough to build a legal 1000pts army but the Daughters of Khaine, Nighthaunt and Deathrattle seem to be a good way to start a small warband

Hopefully it will be a bit cheaper than the ST! one too

>>54826688
Can you take a doombull in skirmish? It's not in the skirmish book.

What the fuck was GW thinking while releasing the Malignants start collecting? The Mortis Engine doesn't have a NIGHTHAUNT keyword so Spirit Hosts can't work as a battleline while Mortis Engine is fielded. The Mortis Engine is buffing wizards that nighthaunt has none at all.
With the GHB2 they gonna be buffed a little but still - you are paying for a box that has a huge-ass useless model and end up with a facion that has actually no "fatty" dude. A fuckin single keyword on Mortis Engine would fix this but fuck you.
Yeah, the new box has a at least a Cairn Wraith as a nighthaunt hero but the box has only 340pts of models - it's hard to call it a proper start collecting box

>>54857477
IMO they gonna cost as much as Skirmish boxes

Generic cheap Missile fire rapes our arse, take bowmen and bolt-throwers

Also Flesh eaters, since they are just Pestilens but better in most ways save for free hit rerolls.

Wanderers are going to be awful to fight as Pestilens but allies could shore the weaknesses (That said pure Pestilens is the correct path to decay)

Guys, when do you think are gonna release the Kharadron Overlords' Start Collecting! box?

I'm hoping they at least announce it this November and we got it for Christmas, but I'm not sure at all

An Skirmish/Allies box would be sweet too

>>54859228
Boring overall. I mean, Necromunda, sure, but beyond that it was bland as can be. No new shit for AoS, only a few models for HH (shitty ones, too. Custodes plane is horrible) everybody already knew about, no Fires of Cyraxus preview for 40k, no talk at all about mechanics or rules. The list goes on.
But thank fuck they announced that Gundabad upgrade sprue for LoTR. That's sure to sell like hotcakes.

>>54859553
Probably not before early next year, if previous years are any indication.

>>54859147
BUYAN 2 boxes of Warherds and 2 of the deathrattle

>>54859753
I'm hoping they release it before Christmas for the potential sells, and because, well, it would be an excellent present

But yeah, Fyreslayers had to wait a year and a half if I remember correctly

So fellow Tzeentch players, how have you enjoyed your LoC?

Just ordered one for my mixed chaos army that I also plan on using in my tzeentch list and wanted to know some pointers from someone that already has played with one.

Is Kairos or LoC better? Which weapon loadout is superior?

>>54860097
I find LoC performs better than Kairos.

How tall are maggoth lords?

>>54859147
damn. guess that means that the mini factions are dead and never getting expanded.

>>54860702
which ones and why?

>>54859734
Aaah I see. Well as a BB player I was oretty happy. No new models hurt but im also happy with GH2.

>>54859147
Ironweld arsenal , wanderers , dispossessed and phoenix temple would be nice

>>54860097
Lord of Change is infinitly superior to Kairos even when taken bare-bones, once you factor in command traits and relics it's actually kinda sad how bad the two-headed fucker is. Gatling stick is the best loadout. Both melee weapons are okay-ish, but if anybody catches him with his pants down in close combat it's lights out anyway, a few more attacks or not.
Hang back, shoot and cast like a motherfucker.
Wellspring of Arcane Might and Magical Supremacy allows for magical domination of the battlefield: Blast anything vaguely threatening with Infernal Gateway and Bolt of Change, supply that damage with shots from the rod and make anybody think twice about casting within 27" of you.

Apparently nearly all sculptors got moved to specialist games, which is making mad dosh. Anything else is on the backburner, be it AoS or HH. Until they've hired new sculptors and a Bligh replacement it's probably best not expect anything.

>>54861634
The current trend supposedly is "Fuck Horus Heresy, fuck AoS and fuck 40k. Specialist Games is where it's at.", what with GW pulling off all but one FW sculptor to work on Necromunda, Bloodbowl, Titanicus, Battlefleet 30k and some other project.

And I don't mean to be "that guy", but aelves?

>>54862382

Jesus fuckin Christ. There was a new guy (maybe 19yo) at my LGS today.
He bought the Spire of Dawn few weeks ago at another LGS that was closed recently and wanted to paint his skaven before playing his first "big game". Some salty fantasyfag from old LGS told him that he should put his rats on square bases because "round ones are for kid-games" and this poor bastard actually done it.
Luckily he was not sure how to paint bases so he only glued the models on them - SoD bases are the slot ones so rebasing will not be this hard but when he fielded his army for the first time people didn't even wanted to listen to his explanations.
Squares are a touchy subject for my playgroup - some time ago we had a guy that wanted to force all of us (10 people) to play on square bases because he was the only WFB veteran at our LGS that wanted to play AoS with us newbies and he had an old shitty painted orc army. At some point even the store manager told him to fuck off. The square guy was persecuting new players and customers and dissuading any AoS related purchases or putting his shit on a table and occupying it for a long while because "he wants to play but he is waiting for an opponent with a properly based army"

>>54862989
Just kill him lol

Square his shit out

>>54863031
The fantasycuck didn't visit our LGS since the manager told him to fuck off.
The new guy on the other hand finally managed to find someone to play with - me actually - and then other players became more friendly to him but there is no way we will let him play on squares. Yeah, it's not a problem for skirmish games but we have a rule about round bases for normal games

>>54863095
This reminds me... I have a relatively big army of both Orcs and Goblins and Dispossesed in square bases

I'm planing to start a Kharadron Overlords and Ironjawz armies, first as allies to the forementioned ones, later as the main armies with the allies, from the older ones.

¿Are in my case square bases also a problem?

Because jeez, if they are, it's a big problem.

I mean, I kind of think it's a valid question, at least as valid as any other "x when?" question. As someone who was initially majorly turned off by the game but has recently been looking into it, I find it frankly ridiculous that in two years they've supported maybe 7 of their 30+ factions. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I just think it would have been a far more sound decision to give at least one of each returning "race" a little love over the first year. Just to aid in the transfer over of fantasy players.

What is the problem with square bases?

You are an asshole and a faggot.
If you said you think its wrong in tournaments, I can understand. But in general, you're just an asshole. When he quits the hobby feel free to blame yourselves.

>>54864759

you're a retard and here's why.

AoS was designed to use round bases, if you're not using round bases, then you're creating an advantage that the rules don't cover.

It is a fact that with square bases, you can pile in more models than people with round bases could. AoS models are shipped with round bases, and that is what they expect you to use.

You can't bend the rules in your favor just because you sunk money into a hobby. Idgaf if you spend 10,000 on an army, if you're creating an unfair advantage through modeling purposes, you can fuck right off, and nobody will play you, as is their right.

Round vs square bases has literally never been a problem for my group or any of the people I've talked to. I have a bit of both, and most people I know do too.

Can't imagine anyone getting so bent out of shape about them one way or another.

>>54864644
Nothing at all.

>>54859147
re-bundling old kits is not considered new content? I hope you people realize this means none of the mini-factions will ever get an update.

>>54865049
So what're basically the "real" factions? Sigmarines, Khorne, Treeple, Kharawhatevers, ...?

R-right guys?

>>54865149
>So what're basically the "real" factions?

the ones that weren't originally a coherent complete army with an army book in whfb that also got broken up into multiple small factions in AOS.

>>54865297
..so Sigmarines and Lizardmen?

>>54865278
Well being supported and acknowledged is a good sign and Moonclan have in both accounts.

>>54864847
Lmao, Age of Sigmar was designed with measuring from the model in mind. You can pile in and have bases overlapping each other, as long as the model can physically fit.
You guys sound like no fun allowed to the maximum. We measure from bases for even casual games unless the unit is larger than the base because that's just stupid. I think you lads need to ease up a little on someone who is just coming into the hobby.

>>54865604
I feel like the model measuring rule was made so that the change in bases wouldn't cause too many issues. If we ever get a second edition, I'd imagine that it'd switch to base to base measurement

What are you working on /aosg/?

Are you working on something in anticipation for GHB17?

>>54865720

well I was painting my stormcast up like Hallowed Knights, but now I'm thinking I need to get black armor like you have, it looks dope.

I just ordered my first "big" model, a Lord of Change for a mixed chaos army

>>54865666
Other than, you know, most models are still shipped with squares.

>>54865854
Thanks

Here's a photo of a test model for the chamber I'm working on.

Since doing this test model about 2 months ago I've decided to redo the bases after seeing a cool tutorial on making brick roads, and I've also decided to use a brighter gold (you can kinda see it on the heraldor in the previous picture)

>creating an unfair advantage by USING THE BASES THAT COME IN THE BOX
>caring about a new player having an advantage against you, whom you should beat anyway just due to experience
once people get into the game I find most re-base for tournaments or just because they look better.
But if some kid bought a couple boxes of dudes, based his shit and painted his army, I don't care if I lost to him or not because its a random dice game anyway, and hes just learning to play.
Again if its a tournament you can have an argument, right now you are just being a faggot

a local who works at my LGS has a brayherd army and it looks fucking sick. Those 4 armed ghorgons and axe bullgors are metal af.
He tells me it's just about the worst army in the game, though I'm new, so not sure if he's being humble or not.

>>54865604

Yeah for real. I do not get the base autism when the rules literally says "a model’s
base isn’t considered part of the model – it’s
just there to help the model stand up."

>>54866530
I wouldn't say brayherds are the worst. They aren't high in the competitive meta, but not the worst, and certainly fine in casual games that aren't against waac players.

>>54866034

looks sick bro

What exactly does an anon need to do Skirmish in Age of sigmar? Core Rules + Skirmish + a couple Star Collecting boxes?

I love the models and want to play, but I'm a brainlet when it comes to forces over ~20 models strong.

>>54866280

wow, I like the look of those! I know people are kind of shit flinging right now but I do appreciate a good looking conversion!

>>54866592
You need any amount of models. Start Collecting is a good way, but any box should be fine

The beauty of AOS is that it doesnt REQUIRE full armies or expensive rulebooks to learn the basics, and it only gets as complicated as you want it to be

>>54866592

I'm pretty much the same as you and this is exactly what I've done. Works fine. Thinking of expanding into Path to Glory soon.

>>54866445
>models look like playdough covered in melted snot

Hardly. I get what you're saying regarding support but those factions models really aren't that old. Also why are we using kids as our criteria for good design choice? Kids are fucking retarded.

So went digging around in my old boxes and I found I have a dozen or so Spider Riders, a Golbin Warboss on Giant Spider and an unbuilt Arachnarok with all the options at hand, as well as both halves of the Island of Blood box.

Any forces worth building around with that if I wanted to dip my toe into AOS? I'd prefer to run the gobbos because they're cute, but the Skaven and Elves are an option.

>>54868359
Spidergrots are pretty good.

Anyone kow if an army of Chaos knights is possible, and if so, how is it?

I haven't played AoS since release and I've ended up with a box of knights in my possession.

Also, glaives or ensorcelled weapons?

Spiderfang Grots are a solid force. They're very mobile, fast and actually pack a mean punch. On the other hand, they're not very durable (though their wound count isn't generally *too* shabby) and are very reliant on their heroes throwing around buffs. Basically, if you know what you're doing they are pretty great.
I'd recommend grabbing a few more riders or the upcoming Start Collecting box.
Also, play this whenever a game is about to start:

>>54868359
Spidergrots are extra good since they're getting a "SC box but not really" soon that has 10 riders and an arachnarok

>Core rules
Yeah, would be nice to have them
>Skirmish
It's not amazing but it's a decent way to jump into the hobby and know the rules before bigger games
>General's Handbook
Must have. Your source of points and abilities
>Battletome
Download it if your army has one
>a couple Star Collecting boxes
For some armies even two are enough to make up a legal 1k pts army like Nurgle Daemons. Start with a single box, have some fun with skirmish, paint your shit and then pick a second box

So I picked up a slann, cause I've been wanting one since forever.
Currently trying to start up a seraphon army as well (have a bunch of saurus left over from way back), but seeing how slann no longer do lots of hardcore Magic shenannigans, I'm wondering if I should field him, without relying much on summoning.

Also what else should I invest in? Start collecting of course, but carnosaurus or troglodon?

>>54868367

>>54868698

>>54868942
Troglodon is shit, don't bother. Instead build a Carnosaurus (Skar-Vet or Oldblood, both are handy) and stick the skink rider of the troglodon onto a infantry base to make a priest.

>>54868978
the battalion requieres 3 units of spider riders and 3 arachnarock spider though

>What will this Hammerhal novella you are working on explore? can you give an idea of what the story will be about?

>I can say two things: a hint as to what it's about - in part - is on pp. 29 of the Disciples of Tzeentch battletome. And pretty much all of the Hammerhal portion of the story takes place atop one of the city's aether-ports. There are Stormcast characters, mortal characters (human, aelf and duardin), and Chaos characters - including tzaangor.

>Basically, it's a 'get everything cool/explain everything about AOS into one novella' sort of story. So there's lots of 'here's how the realms/cities/gods/etc. work' mixed with some sneaking about and some fighting.

Why must life be such a cruel bitch?

Am I the only one that feels like the 200 pt allies in 1000 is too little?

My group is mostly playing 1000 due to time limits and liking multiplayer.
