/aosg/ Age of Sigmar General

>>55366185
I see, thanks for sharing.

Will probably just run them as 2 units of 10 unless I really want that bonus, but wouldn't be hard to just give the extra command team some spears.

>>55366197
Well, I took a look at it myself (I still have 2 high elf Spire of Dawn/Island of Blood boxes) and converting the command groups looks kinda hard desu. Lot of sculted details molded into the arms.

Then again, I think me or my brother bought fuckloads of other Spireguard so I think I can make 1. 30 man unit.

>>55365113
You should probably read up on some lore my dude, so you understand who the factions are and what they fight for. Seraphon alongside Chaos makes zero sense.

How varied are the mechanics of Age of Sigmar/40k, across armies? I really expected something like Nurgle to be paired with an infection mechanic; build up plague tokens for a unit, rolls to determine results, etc;
>Opponent kills his own men to avoid the result
>Sends infected in reckless attacks to do some good and be rid of them at the same time

All of that seems absent, though. Something as obvious as Khorne summoning additional troops based on enemies killed or damage done. Orks starting amid enemy armies, thrown by meks or catapults; comical straying arcs, etc.

>>55365113
You can not pick units from different grand alliances

>>55366323
I know is pretty obvious, but I'll say 8 is clearly Stormcast

The "II" on it it's suspicious, maybe some new chamber?

So, about Nagash....

He created his Mortrarchs from his memories. Arkhan, Neferata and Mannfred are just a projection of what he remembered of them. He can recreate them all the time, right? Is it possible that he created more than one of each? Maybe different versions from different times?

Also we know that Ushoran is around. Was he also created by Nagash? What about ones such as Vlad or Abhorash? Are they around?

>>55366384
>Implying anyone actually uses Battleplans that aren't the 6 Pitched Battle options in the GHB.

>>55366292

Nurgle gives access to Blightkings, which gives an AoE damage effect that heals Nurgle models within the same range.

>>55366339
I see it less as a II and more as an anvil with a single drop of blood? in the middle.

40K is better then AoS in this regard IMHO.

Gift of Chaos: Deal damage to an model. If it was a hero and it dies, it turns into a chaos spawn under your control.

Orks have several weapons that may explode and kill the user. Their medics (Painboyz) can operate on wounded units which will either heal them, or kill them.

(technically 30K, but whatever) Angron (Khorniest Primarch) gets +1A for each unit he kills.

What armies are okay for 2x start collecting box build? My friends want to start playing AoS and we decided that we will start with a limited budget to prevent the arms race and because one of our friends just can not spend more on a hobby for now.
For now I noticed that Seraphon SC is good because it grants you a free unit of knights if you buy two SC boxes.
Nurgle SC has exactly 500pts and its units have some pretty nice synergy so the army is great for casual games.
Ironjawz also seem to be fine a fine option - at least you can build the ironfist with two boxes

Anything else?

>>55366614
Get the spire of dawn, plus 10 spireguard and a slave assassin. Boom $112 for 2 full 1000 point lists. Same with the big box of stormcasts and chaos.

>>55366614
demons of nurgle are good because everything in the box is something you're going to want more of in a larger army. however in my personal experience, i have great difficulty winning any games with them.

Man, the only thing really keeping me from going on an all-mounted Saurus army is how bad the scupts are. Like, the Dark Elf ones are great, but the Seraphon ones are dated as hell and look terrible all around.

Yes. It's literally in the manual of the chariot.
If you don't put an herald on the chariot, you can make 2 Heralds on foot.

>>55366394
I mean, that's your problem? They are quite fun if you're not stuck in "balance=2 hills and 2 woods exactly symmetrically on the map" autistic mode.

>Doomwheel Driver head
>Stormvermin body
>Stormvermin arms
>Flaggelant hands
>Cannonballs/Greenstuff balls
>Maxmini Backpacks.

While Plagueclaw heads are easier to acquire, clanrats have molded-on shield arms. And plagueclaw heads and stormvermin are in a drastically different scale in my opinion. Good thing about doomwheel heads is that they fit super flush into a stormvermin body. Same socket and connecter. Also, I started building these in WHFB times, when Poison Wind Globadiers still had armor.

>>55367234
seems like a pain in the arse to get all those bits but i know that the skryre acolytes are like £7 for one. keep up the good work

>>55367063
You saying you don't like Stormcast? Oh too bad then, it seems that it's all we are getting

>>55367220
2 different Chariots.

The Exalted Seeker Chariot is literally 2 Seeker Chariot kits in a box.

You'll need extra bases for a lot of that stuff though, they don't put them in the boxes.

If you want to buy some Exalted Chariot in the future, just take 2 Seeker Chariots instead. They cost the same and you'll get an extra base, so there is no reason not to.
Unless you are buying the SC again, of course. Then take that one.

Really, the Chariots of Slaanesh are a great kit. Too bad not many people knows its potential.

>Was thinking of selling my Spire of Dawn Skaven.
>No longer available in the UK.

Guess I better hang on for now....

>>55367273
All except the heads are super easy to get in general. You for most of it you could just buy a box of Stormvermin.

The heads are impossible to acquire however. Took me years to get this many, no joke. But initially I just wanted something flavorful for my Skryre Themed WHFB army. Now they are a battleline unit for Skryre, but getting 30 of these puppies is not possible...

>>55367278
not a lot of slaanesh players across the games. also from experience it's a pain to assemble and paint , looks good when finished though

Hey guys, friend of mine has been painting up his boardgame miniatures a bunch and saw the Nighthaunt Tormented Spirits box and wants to get into AoS with it, I also kinda want to start a Brayherd army so was thinking of picking up a shaman and a box of gors or bestigors and getting him into AoS with skirmish, just wondering if you guys have any advice or can offer an alternative path besides me just grabbing some rape-goats and going to hang out with him as we both build a skirmish warband

Also, on the note of getting Brayherd stuff, should I put things that came with 25mm square bases on 25mm round bases, or should I put them on 32mm rounds in case they'll be hanging off the edge (and 20mm square onto 25mm round)

What Command Traits are people liking on Freeguild now? Inspiring is hilarious, but the army has enough in-built ability to nullify battleshock tests already between the Battalion, the General's war banner, other banners, etc. Shrewd Commander could be interesting, and if you end up with Inspired that could really turn the tide on that one magnificent attack. But damn if I don't think I'm learning towards Indomitable just to pump out the durability of Guard and gunlines alike.

As far as Artifacts go, I usually always went with the Phoenix Stone just to make the General more survivable, but the Writ of Dominion and Flag of the Conquerors both look like they could be a lot of fun.

Quick rules question as well. Running a battalion gives you a second artifact. Does this second artifact have to be on different hero than the first? Because if so, you're sort of boned by the Freeguild Regiment since you only are going to end up with the solitary Hero.

>>55367342
yeah was considering getting a unit of 30 acolytes but now might just get another unit of stormfieds

>>55367342
Or you could just used reusable bluestuff and make as many copies you wanted with milliput/or whatever you like to use.

>>55366292
>Something as obvious as Khorne summoning additional troops based on enemies killed

If you actually read the rules, Bloodletters can summon in more dudes on the Morale check and Blood Tithe points are accrued through destroyed units and can be spent on bonuses, one said bonus being the ability to put a daemon unit down.

You really should read more into Allegiance abilities, and even individual unit abilities, because there are a ton of neat mechanics.

>>55367564
Gotta pay for those additional dudes from the moment you make your list, though. Which makes those dudes feel a lot less like a bonus.

>>55367581
And suddenly were back to the point of "summoning is fucking retarded"

>>55367581
You don't have to if you don't play matched. Summoning is a terrible mechanic in any sort of competitive game, because you don't balance the army for what the player will have, but for the potential upper limit that the ymight never reach in-game.

>>55367605
>playing anything but matched

>>55366227
I just picked up the old ise of blood on the cheap and I found the same thing. Trying to convert the elves to Dark elves to start a darkling coven. I threw on some spikes to them and might grab an executioner set and change the swords.

Making dreadspears was easy though. Just throw a skaven spear top onto the sea guard and bam done

>>55367581
Not the Bloodletters, but the Blood Tithe summon unfortunately yes. Which to be fair, probably better to have your Bloodthirster just on the table to begin with.

Fuck, that's plenty of stuff. I'm surprised GW is not giving Slaanesh more love - with a single new mortal followers kit and a battletome/warscroll cards they could make a nice small release and grab a lot of money just by selling mostly old kits. I'm not gonna run a full slaanesh army - just want to try something new in skirmish - but I see a lot of potential here

>>55367487
Also, at least it isn't quite as dark as I thought. Had assumed the loss of Volkmar meant we didn't have any Devoted of Sigmar left that were capable of interacting with non-Devoted of Sigmar, but the Excelsior Warpriest can. Still find it mindnumbingly stupid that all of the Devoted of Sigmar stuff is basically useless since you are locked into running a faction whose only non-leader unit is Flagellants.

Honestly, they really just need to un-split a lot of these factions that were cut apart. Devoted of Sigmar, Collegiate Arcane, Ironweld, and Free Peoples belong together. Though then I guess you run into issues since they've deleted all of the artillery pieces from Freeguild and Dispossessed, so Ironweld would have to be in both.

>>55367543
Seriously considering that. Did some research in my holiday. Any personal experience? At that point I can build them with a box of Stormvermin. Just need to cast heads, and some open hands (will use Blood Bowl Skaven for that).

Those also look like a decent starting point, Bloodbowl Skaven.

Actually coulsnt you squeeze in a bastilidon? It would ruin the theme but you still have room for ine if you cut some stuff.

>>55368385

To that end, do you have any suggestions? I need 6 units of Knights, and 5 heroes, so it'll be cutting one unit of knights and downgrading a hero I think. Not sure that's worth it.

Tell me guys, is there any daemon faction that actually benefits from mixing with Slaves to Darkness?
I want to buy a StD start collecting and any Daemons start collecting (really like them all) that would work fine with the slaves but I'm worried about the lack of synergy.
Now all chaos daemons and StD have their own allegiance abilities so it seems like there is no point in playing mixed chaos. I know that's great for mono-armies but it feels like GW gave the final stroke to the daemons-mortals mixed armies.

>>55368489
Thankfully, I make good enough money that it'll be ok, and I'd likely actually go over that on bits to make them ride Dark Elf Cold Ones.

I like the idea of integrating a Bastilidon, but just not sure where. I want the multiple Carnosaurs, but I can't fit them all.

>>55368562
I'm pretty sure that most Khorne demon items stipulate Khorne as the keyword. Have a look at Slaanesh in the GHB2017, might activate those almonds.

>>55368562
Iirc, the Slaanesh generals have good Mortal Slaanesh buffing powers, and any StD with the mark would benefit. Plus you can run the allegiance that lets you have 3 generals. Lotsa buffs

>>55369211
With all the buffs that army is getting, those Knights are basically heat-seeking dino-missiles. He probably isn't expecting many of them to live for long, but they should be able to punch through damn near anything with one or two salvos. With all of the buffs that they're receiving, those Knights are gonna easily be Demigryph-tier if not just under Skullcrusher-tier.

What non-model release you wish to see in the near future?

I would be pleased with old battletomes like Seraphon and Ironjawz updated with their GHB17 allegiance abilities and errata.
Also warscroll cards for each faction that has allegiance abilities would be great.

>>55369403

The fact that Seraphon didn't get a set of Warscroll Cards despite havng one of the largest ranges in AoS suggests to me that their Battletome might be getting updated.

Realistically? I don't expect anything other than Shadespire until next year.

>>55369310

Except that Knights are utter shit, they have all the combat prowess of Liberators.

Those Carnosaurs won't last long either.

>>55369446
Saurus Knights are quite crap, but you really think Blood crushers are that good? did you mean skullcrusher? it's the mortals who fuck shit up in Khorne, not the daemons

>>55366378
Not him but from what i've read yes.

Arkhan does not remember the old world and seems to be an amalgam of all his defining/stood out traits, loyalty, competence, unimaginative etc.

Nefereta also is a memory, while she remembers Lahmia it is based off her obsession with recreating it which was a defining character trait.

Mannfredd is the same, almost a parody of his defining traits.

>>55369478
Did GW released any new model for Seraphon since the day 1 of the AoS that wasn't just a post-fantasy rebox?

>>55369211
>>55369310
Basically, in many ways the Knights are just the tax to take that many heroes, who will be nasty, though they will do some nasty things too.

Sadly, no, I can't merge, because both Battalions need 3 each. Incidentally, that's why the first thing I'd do to boost it to 2.5k would be to up the numbers on each unit.

>>55366323
8 is probably the stormcast special character for 2018 campaign

>>55366467
turning dudes into spawns or daemon princes is a mechanic in AOS

skaven in AOS have a lot of rules that can backfire

lots of units get permanent and/or temporary bonuses after killing models

>>55369525
It's meant to be a fun list, not a great list.

>>55367059
Do you understand how the production works? They have molds for these models, they aren't going to spend time/money making brand new molds just so people don't have to clip some extra shit off the feet

Making a new mold to change a bit doesn't make sense. If they're going to make new molds they would probably update the models since they're from 15 years ago.

>>55369642

No, which makes it all the more strange that they didn't get Warscroll Cards.

The Battletome and unit scrolls are really showing their age though in terms of rules and wording.
Honeslty, I'd expect them to remove a lot of the bonuses they get to Chaos Daemons on all of their stuff and perhaps change some numbers around to compensate.

>>55367186
why run MSU? your scar veteran on carnosaur command ability works best on a single large block of dudes

the big downside of knights is that they only have a 1" attack reach. trying to get more than 10 is really difficult, more than 10 is impossible (unless you're playing with no scenery)

Also

It depends entirely upon what you're playing against.

I could, theoretically, drop a fair chunk of the Knights and get some infantry, I suppose, but where is the fun in that?

>>55369873
>Because I have to to use the Battalions.
Bloodclaw requires 3-7 units. You could merge some of your knights into bigger units and get more benefit from your command abilities

>>55369902
Bloodclaw requires 3-7, Firelance requires 3.

The real question is 'is Firelance worth it,' I guess, as I could drop that and rejig around it.

>>55369856
No. BCR just got hit with a massive nerf in the form of the new GHB. If you want elite on a budget, I'd probably recommend Smegmarines or Ironjawz.

Are you okay in the head? He's talking about a Bastiladon, Kroxigors or something that will hit hard, and I'm pretty sure those would be "fun".

>>55369903
>list building has turned into spamming one or two units

Why?

>>55370006
Not sure what you're actually talking about?

There's Brimstones (chaf), Pink Horrors (objective holders/chaf/damage), Skyfires (damage), Enlightened (hammer), LoC, Shammy, Changeling (damage, utility, support)

120 Bloodletters. Now THAT'S spamming.

>>55369919
They are really this shit now? Well, fuck - I really hoped they would be a fancy army for small casual games

>>55370085
You've spammed Horrors, that's what I'm talking about. Tzaangors could fill a similar role but no you've just spammed Horrors. No Screamers, Flamers, Chariots either, no allies...

It looks like the type of boring list one might try at a tournament.

>>55370140

Tzeentch list poster here

In order to get the two battalions I didn't have much wiggle room in using a bunch of different units.

I figured taking TWO battalions when they've both increased ~100 points would add some fun to the list and I've paid through the nose to do it. Also, this list is 3 drop which will in SOME cases allow me to pick who goes first.

One more thing. I haven't played in any AoS major tournaments but I am competitive. If I'm going to pay top dollar for a hobby and put 100's of hours into assembly/painting/list building I want it to be at least REASONABLE to bring to a tournament in case I decide I want to do that. That's WHY I asked for feedback, to see if the list was viable.

Tzeentch Warriors with a warshrine
5+ mortal wound ward. another 6+ with command ability.
4+ save (or 3+ with mystic shield) with rerolling saves for the shrine. Reroll saves of 1 if you have more than 20... then another 6+ ward save.

Then with the battalion you also get -1 rend.

File: Freeguild Regiment.pdf (5KB, 1x1px) Image search: [Google]

5KB, 1x1px

Sucks that you end up wasting an artifact freebie.

The guard exist solely to die screening charges, while the gunline lays down fire. Even in a bad situation, I should manage three turns of shooting before the handgunners are engaged. Provided they aren't on the march, the handgunners will be hitting on 2+, with the Writ ready to get popped when the time is right. I hate pistoliers and love outriders for harrying the enemy with their hilarious maneuverability, but the regiment calls for both. Honestly considered dropped down the 30 handgunners down to 20 to squeeze in some more, but 10 outriders on the table can get pretty ungainly to avoid enemies with. In my experience in AoS, they work a lot better as 5-man squads.

I have hit-and-miss luck with the demigryphs, and might consider dropping them down to just a precarious 3 just to free up some more points. Could do that along with the 30 handgunners down to 20 to be able to buff up the greatswords to 20 and one of the guard units to allow for a Great Company.

Honestly, I feel like I might just eventually drop off the battalion since it's pretty much impossible to squeeze cannons or steam tanks in there with it, but the loss of the State Troop Detachment to fill in when you aren't running the full Freeguild Regiment hurts my soul. Stand Together, Fight Together and Regimental Discipline is an amazing combination and while the Allegiance battle trait of Defiant Avengers helps a lot, the loss of that +1 to hit really stings.

Thoughts?

>>55370671
Do what you like to paint and what is most fun.
Things change m8. If you don't play what you like, all it takes is some model to get released that buffs all deamons and your list is shit.
I run warriors because I like them and I prefer mortals to Daemons. I like the Lord of Change though, so I include him because the model is awesome.
Its also fun when people play it, because they expect skyfire spam, but they see a 30 block of warriors they've played 10 times and get shocked.
"oh its just warriors"
Then 3 turns later ive only lost 1 dude.

The popularity of Chaos armies goes:

Khorne>Undivided>Tzeentch>Nurgle>Slaanesh

Right?

>>55370957
I'd imagine tzeentch is more popular than khorne, but i'm probably biased because tzaangors are dank

>>55370957
Depends entirely on your local scene. The only Chaos players in my area are 3 Nurgle players, though one of the Nurgle player also has Slaanesh.

>>55370957
Khorne>tzeentch>nurgle>undivided>horned rat

>>55370736
Would you run that 30 block as a 27 block?

>>55370957
From most popular to least popular:

Tier 1
Khorne

Tier 2
Tzeentch

Tier 3
Skaven
Nurgle
Slaneesh

Tier 4
Undivided

You must be retarded to think Undivided is popular in any way. Even when people play STD they always take a mark.

Nurgle might jump into Tier 2 after the battletome release.

>>55370736

Depends on the countries.

South Europe seems to prefer Tzeentch for what i've seen.

Too bad only GW has the precise data

>>55371197

>>55371197

If a Chaos hero with a runeshield has trait giving him another 5++ save, would I test the wound against both saves or are they redundant?

>>55371213
South Europe is not a country

Reject the EU

>>55371768
You get every ability. If you have two abilities that can ignore wounds on a 5+ you would check one after the other.

It's also not a "save". Save has a very specific meaning.

>>55371652
I did and I love it

>>55371652
I remember reading somewhere, that a person had figured out the formula for Skirmish points. For units it's the points divided by the number of models then divided by five, while heros were just divided by five.
For instance a Blood Knight would then be 10 points, while a Witch Hunter would be 12 points.

>>55371056
>Nurgle might jump into Tier 2 after the battletome release.

Source?

>>55372129
Yeah, but you have to adjust the renown value to each hero. I.e. with this formula the orruk great shaman costs 28 renown - that would be stupid as fuck desu

in one new book, Nagash is shown to admire Manfreds ambition, he is the counterpoint to arkhan who is not ambitious at all and acts as a foil/goad to Nefereta.

The book explicitly points out that all three while smart and capable of independent thought are diminished by being undead and capable of turning on him.

Nagash finds the stormcast interesting as death has not diminished them, they still think and yet are fearless and loyal, able to subsume personal feelings when needed.

What are some obscure armies worth getting for smaller games like skirmish or 500-1000 pts?
I was thinking about Devoted of Sigmar because they are posterboys of special snowflake syndrom but GW skipped all DoS units in skirmish. I understand that they dropped the non-plastic models but why the fuck there are no Flagellants in skirmish?
Anyway, is it possible to build an army around pic related or should I do it another way? Or maybe should I drop the DoS for good and try something else?

correct me if i'm wrong but Nagash started his death experiments partly to gain loyal skeletons that wouldn't dare dream of betraying him

>>55373967
Because they are posterboys of game named as their creator, Sigmar?

>>55373775
>Allies
>Stormfiends have the moulder keyword

>>55373993
true, but as he notes himself, lack of independent thought does leave him doing all the leg work and leaves his forces vulnerable

>>55373962
Manfredd is Nagash's wild card for Sigmar

Sigmar still stupidly believes Nagash can be an ally and friend, but knows Mannfred can't be trusted. Nagash knows this, so he keeps Mannfred around because anytime Mannfred fucks up Sigmars shit, Sigmar believes it's because of Mannfred betraying Nagash or going against his wishes, instead of Nagash explicitly telling Mannfred to do it.

Those Guard units are so fucking tiny. I know you say that it works for you, but I definitely at least drop the 30 Handgunners down to 20 and buff up a Guard unit for use in a Great Company. The ability to get that extra shot out when your enemies charge your Guard lets you turn those three rounds of shooting into four.

The thing I hate the most about the Freeguild Regiment is the fact that it asks you to end up cutting corners everywhere. You can't have a massive deathstar of Demigryphs, you can't really even have a solid bunker of Greatswords, and whatever ranged units and your Guard are forced to be pretty slim. And then you're taxed with the Pistoliers which I agree are basically useless.

resident beastclaw player here. I'm not sure what all your reasons are for playing, but I'll give it to ya straight:
Hobby Side:
Our monster lore is awesome.
Everwinter is awesome.
Our models are awesome, plastic, fun to assemble, fun to paint, lots of metal, skin, fur, weapons, skulls, the whole nine.

Table Side, we just took a massive 7-pronged nerf:
No more destruction bonus movement.
Artifacts are now unique.
Battle Brew nerfed, mounts don't get attack bonuses from artefacts (huge nerf to hero stonehorn damage).
Meta used to stretch elite armies thin, now there are like 50% of scenarios that you basically are 80/20 to lose.
Our main weakness, hordes, got stronger.
Thundertusks cost 40 more points each (fair nerf, though).
Stonehorn's stone skeleton nerfed to do just about fuckall now, and he dies to your enemy's throwaway battleline puds unit real quick.
Battalions all went up, but this one doesn't count because a) everyone's went up, and b) all of our battalions force you to buy bad choices and stuff that sucks, so you skip them anyway. Yes, even Skal.
We got two buffs: mournfang are now well-costed, and allies help.

If you're a hobbyist who likes to have Your Dudes be really sweet looking and fun to make, then join the alfrostun, Frostlord, and weather this shitstorm for a season.

PS: 2x start collecting is by far the better choice. The icewind assault Yhetees, Hunters, and Cats you get are all Finecast Shit that are lukewarm at best on the table and look like piss.

I wasn't really into skaven lore and fluff but hey - after selling the aelves part and spare bases the final cost of a SoD box was lower than the cost of clanrats box. Now I have to buy stormfiends or 90 monks to play rats and I don't like it.
>inb4 buy stormfiends - they are also an elite army
I don't want to spend money on stormfiends because I find them boring as fuck and I see no fun in running a 1000pts army with 900pts of battleline.
Yeah mate, I know that BCR are also 90% of battleline but at least I like their aesthetic and GW didn't use them to kill my fuckin army.
>But you will spend more on the new army than you would spend on two boxes of stormfiends
Yeah, but I'm ready to spend a little more on an army of my dudes. With stormfiends I would feel like I'm running them just because I want to use at least few of my old models. I decided to fuck this and keep my rats just for skirmish and find a new army that I will actually like - lore and aesthetic-wise. That's the story /blog

Sounds jolly good. I can definitely at least squeeze in that one Great Company, and sixty Handgunners should still be sufficient.

I'm definitely also going to try a few games without using the battalion. I waste the extra artifact, and while the loss of STFT hurts, I will still be hitting on 2+ if stationary, no-one in their faces, and at full strength. Between standard bearers, the stately war banner, and Defiant Avengers... battleshock already is pretty well-managed.

> Curse of Years has a casting value of 6. If successfully cast, pick a visible unit within 18" and roll ten dice. For each roll of 6, that unit suffers a mortal wound and you can roll an extra dice. For each roll of 5 or more on these extra dice, the target suffers another mortal wound and you can roll another dice. Now, for each roll of 4 or more, the target suffers another mortal wound and you can roll another dice. Keep rolling dice in this way, inflicting mortal wounds and reducing the roll needed to cause them by 1 each time, until either no wounds are inflicted or the target unit has been reduced to a pile of corpse-dust!

For a Tzeentchian army, is a Chaos Sorceror Lord or a Magister the better choice in sake of pairing with Kairic Acolytes? I know the usage of Magisters give me better access to the Arcanite Cabal, but I like the idea of buffing my acolytes with the Sorcerer Lord.

I love the story behind Shadespire.

Whilst the Dwarfs were making civilisation in the sky, Nagash was being so fucking inept even the dumbass mortals in his realm made better shit than him, so he got REALLY salty and destroyed it.

I admit that the best I thought of Slayers were from Gotrek & Felix. Otherwise, they're guys I virtually never field. Ever.

>>55378345
Certainly. The slayers were kinda shoddy on the table, but the fluff on them was pretty fucking dope. Basically little dwarven Doom Guys that have to find something suitably badass to kill them.

>>55378370
The fluff they were alright but it's like how I can't take much of the Beastmen seriously before TW WH due to how shit they were.

One thing I will admit about these new Slayers is that it would be hard making a feasible civilization where everyone there is a death-seeking halfnaked dwarf. I wouldn't want to be the one making Slayers into their own separate army & faction.

>>55378429
When did I ever imply I thought they would? I mourn the loss of the State Troop Detachment, but otherwise I carry on without much a care. They're still more supported than half of the old lines, which means it will at least be longer before they're phased out than Privateers, Spiderfangs, Devoted of Sigmar, whatever shitty name they gave zombies, or Greenskinz.

Don't forget, they'll probably turn the aesthetic into samurai armor, giant dogs for mounts, and replace the blackpowder of into crystal-spitting magic guns.

Wanderers or Tzeentch, anons? Returning fantasy player here and I'm sitting on ~1500pts of both with the Tzeentch being pure daemons (only pink horrors no blue/brim) and the wanderers are not counting any trees. People are coming out of the woodwork here, so I figured I could dust them off.

So is free peoples the conversion make it your own faction?

just divide the points yourself and use any model you want

GW cucked themselves by making skirmish absolute shit RAW,

typical house rules involve using the point algorithm to take whatever models you want, start the campaign with 50 renown and play until 200

>>55373700
you need more battleline

>>55378658

Wanderers with the new traits do look pretty cool, especially the Waywatcher machine gun, which is exactly how I expect wood elf heroes to be. However, they're not as expansive as Tzeentch. Like, I could add warriors and stuff and still use all the tzeentch rules, right?

>>55378631
Wanderers all the way.

So, sort of want to run a Tzeentch Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount, give them Soulburn and Warpfire Blade. Seems like it might be a fun thing, given easy access to buffs that could mean that on every 5 or 6 he's adding two mortal wounds on top of his damage.

>>55378202
GW has been doing "painted models have preferred enemy unpainted models" since the late nineties bub

>>55378991

Wanderers it is, then.

So, what should I get? Here's 1620 points, which feels a little silly with all the heroes. I'm thinking sisters of the thorn maybe?

Spellweaver
Nomad Prince
Wayfinder
Waywatcher
Waywatcher
Waywatcher

Sister of the Watch
Gladeguard x30
Gladeguard x20
Gladeguard x10
Gladeguard x10

>>55379273
My tip would be look into their battallion, and go almost entirely ranged units, plus yes, some Sisters of the Thorn. Basically, the tactic then is to try to engineer your Nomad Prince into range of enemies and then just alpha strike stuff with all the ranged attacks.

ETERNAL GUARD
5+ save.
Their ability does +1 save
Mystic shield = +1 save
Cover = +1 save
Glade shields = reroll 1s and 2s

Eternal Guard are the single most out of place unit in the game I think. Nothing about them ever fit Wood Elves, and they certainly don't fit into a band of roaming warriors that Wanderers are supposed to be. Plus, the shield and double spear stick thing looks retarded on the new models. Rangers, on the other hand, fit their aesthetics so much better, which is a shame because they're significantly more expensive. If I used EG, I think I would have to basically use rangers with the retarded double spear.

All the elves swords weapon look like inflatable weapons. Their axes weapon look okay.

Especially the fucking double gladius curve edge design they all have. Look great in a real life gladius, look shit here. Why? Because nobody give enough shit to adjust the curve for them to not look like children toys.

>>55376536

I straight up can't stand the look of the army. Which is odd because I love Fantasy Slayers, there's just something about the Fyreslayers that I loathe.

has anybody made a PDF of every unit in matched play with the point cost algorithm for skirmish or should I get on that?

Not a big fan either, but Dark Elves and Wood Elves had some good weapon designs.

The old metal Eternal Guard had a more fitting design imo. They were less spearmen and more warrior monks.

so what do you anons do with your left-over sprues?

I initially wanted to chuck all of my sprues onto ebay for a few bucks, but now I'm thinking I could be more creative and make some cheapo terrain with them.

I saw a neat tutorial for making town-houses using sprue as the frame for the house and then using cereal-box cardboard as the walls and roofing and whatnot. Has anyone had experience doing something like that?

>>55381226
I chuck mine, I used to save it but then I realized that you can get foamcore, plasticard and insulation foam for really cheap so you don't need to make ghetto ass sprue terrain ever really

there's some pictures floating around of people using sprues to make "bricks" and building shit like that

There's also a weathered shed made of spure, basically you use your hobby knife to cut wood texture into the sprue

>>55381226
I literally save almost everything in its original box. Which is ludicrous since I now have stack and stacks of empty boxes with just the leftover bits and sprues in them...

>>55381317

>>55380219
Their bodies are really soft. They don't have the rough musculature of the old slayers, they look like baby bodies with beards. The diapers they wear don't help.

>>55381635
