Casuals spotted

Initiative roll adds a tremendous amount of strategy to the game. Git gud and stop overextending into shooting armies when they have a possible double turn.

>>55415679

It's a rogue team of terrorist employees, hiding somewhere in the GW building and releasing Slaanesh minis without letting the main developers know.

Don't believe the lies, with every Slaanesh mini you buy you support terrorists.

Oh shit, are Slaanesh Daemons a fine addition to a Slaves to Darkness army? Because I'm gonna buy a box or three of them

>>55415462
But with differences in stats, abilities, and game mode, are they really that strong? Is it their ranged combat ability that makes them strong? Couldn't that be countered simply with a board setup accommodating to both players?

I mean, I play an army of AWI Redcoats rockin' the line infantry for days -- usually at least 70-80 handgunners -- and I don't really have issues with folks calling cheese. Well, provided I don't also bring both cannons to bear. Then I usually simmer down to just 60 or so rather than being a complete twat.

my fucking sides. You obviously are a fan boy who will follow the rulebook even if it stated that the loser have to microwave his army.

It wouldnt be THAT bad if you were just a fan boy, but on top of that, you cannot understand how bad this rule is (and its very obvious why it is bad for the game). You are a stain upon the gaming community and I hope your stupidity wont spread too much. At the very least, you must give very easy games as a novice bot to beginners.

I can get behind this. My little brother already has a hige collection of x-wing minis so I'm well versed in that. Was considerng getting a Thunder and Blood box for those pre-coloured minis but now they're actually releasing starter sets that have more than Khorne models I might wait it out - a Blightwar variant in the AU$90 region would be great (current set is >$250), especially if I can use the nurgle demons to start up a Death Guard list too.

>>55416124
>It's the same thing as an implication that daemonettes have to be attractive to actually be scary.

Spiderfaggot again, with a few little updates to the rules courtesy of plebbit.

>Walk Into My Parlor
Added in something to hotfix out the same issue that comes up with counter-charges where the countercharge doesn't actually have anything to do with with the charge it's in response to. However, due to the restrictions on the target limit, the charge distance has been tweaked up.
>Entangling Webs
This one was too hot for plebbit to handle, mostly for its ability to shut down abilities that active on a 6+ hit roll, and I do now realize that it's probably about as powerful as some 1-time use artifacts. There are two places I could go with this, and I kind of favor the... weird one. The standard option is just to go with the standard "Subtract 1 from attacks against the general in the combat phase." The fun™ option is to leave it as it is, but have that ability require the sacrifice of the mount's attacks since it's too busy webbing up a foe.

Thoughts? Think I have the artifacts in a pretty good place.

The model is supposed to be big beady black eyes, crab claws, reverse jointed ankles, and fucked up teeth. What they can appear as to humans wouldn't be reflected in their actual model.

Not Daemonettes.
They can't change aspect, but they are different between each others.

Their aspect depends on WHEN they were made by Slaanesh.

Older minis of daemonettes are just older deamonettes in the lore.

>>55416004
Easy solution if it's available to you. Play a one drop army. Choose to go second (my playgroup rarely can contest this). Initiative roll is irrelevant as they're never usually dumb enough to give me a double turn. And if I win the roll I pass the turn to them.

Buying a single Start Collecting is sufficient to begin any Escalation League. You take it at your own pace, and if people seem to be enjoying it, you begin to expand your collection. Yes, it is the best way to get people into a war-game. There's a reason they are so common. At the beginning, you're out, what... $85? If that is going to stop people from playing, they sure as shit aren't going to last for $400 or more. And the very nature of an Escalation League works wonders for weaseling people into buying new units they want to paint or play with, naturally growing a collection over whatever sort of timeframe you want to set up. A month at 500 points, maybe a bit more? Then just tease it up to 1000 and sit there for a month and a half. Just a few more miniatures make it to 1500. Good middle-group to sit at before the final push to 2000. And if you want to bleed them dry, 2500 for a massive conclusion.

But as shitty and bland as the setting is, getting them to play what I am sure will be an absolutely amazing and innovative boardgame focused around cards and hex-based movement and a revolutionary new RPG set in magical worlds with sights such as the Sigmarambulum in Sigmaron where Sigmar's forges create Sigmarite... might not be the best way to get people to want to spend $400 on the setting.

So whats going on with Slaanesh? I dont really keep up with the shitty lore, so I dont really know whats going on in that regard, but from the outside it looks like slaanesh is going to get canned or atleast significantly watered down for the new age range gw is shooting for.

It seems like hes hardly been mentioned, and I saw this new art of the mark of chaos that had the four chaos gods, except that Slaanesh's mark is replaced with what I assume is the horned rat's. And is it just me or are the daemonettes covered up more? If fucking shit like this is going to happen then Im really fucking done.

lol no. Slaanesh have plenty of space. The first GH was loaded with Slaanesh, there is plenty in the supplements and even the Seraphon battletome, where it's depicted as a "main antogonist" of some sort.
It then got its Allegiance rules too.
Also a good load of new original artworks.

Except Tomb Kings players did not receive any space in the new books.
Which is unfortunate. I only lost a fraction of my stuff in the switch between games, I cannot imagine what Tomb Kings, Bretonnians and Slaaneshis must have felt.
We shouldn't be harsh on them.

Anyway, yes, I think the squatting of Slaanesh was a thing, but I think GW came back and made a change of plan.

It could have been just the fans, or the fact that Made to Order of Juan Diaz Daemonettes was an incredible success, or the fact that the main complain of 40k at the time was that Marines had nobody to shoot at (and Slaanesh being the perfect villain), or the new management. I'm not sure, but I think they came back on the decision and we'll see more Slaanesh in the future.

That's my guess

Karl Franz, Gilles le Breton, Louen and company are all cooler than Vandus Hammerhand and every other stormcast I've read about.
Its ok you don't like him but to say people shouldn't be bitter about Karl isn't really fair since there is so much awesome fluff, books and history with him.

Its a different setting. People being bitter characters from a different setting werent ported over like the mary sues they were is silly. Even if they did, KF was a human. Age of Myth lasted millenia before Chaos came, he'd be long dead by current timeline.

>>55418400
As a fan of Karl Franz, I don't consider him that important. He was mostly interesting because he is an Emperor and had to make all the big decisions. He is totally replaceable.

Its honestly the way youre looking at it. Something like the female witches in the dark elves or the female VC/ banshees made sense

But the individual random females mixed in with male SE is kind of off putting (not that I really liked the SE to begin with)

Statements like that are just the fucking gateway to all kinds of obnoxious and artistically incongruous sjw pandering. Personally I dont care about the female sigmarine, but you really are walking a slippery slope with that stuff

So, finally got my hands on a Celestial Hurricanum kit, now that the flgs guy is back from vacation, an now I can try to build a SCE version.

The main body is the planetarium from the kit, but obviously without the cart or the horses, which seemed unfitting for stormcast. Instead I put it on the trailing scrollwork from Prosecutors to make it look like it hovers above the battlefield. Same goes for the small stuff floating around on chains or more scrollwork, which are also meant to convey a bit of movement.
The guy on top is the equivalent of the celestial wizard on the actual Hurricanum. (He's not glued there yet, so please excuse the clamp and the pencil holding him up). I've posted him before, but now he has the book you guys recommended him to have.
Two Knigh-Heraldors are the basis for the Liberator guards, who will also present the bulk of the melee attacks. Not too happy with the shield arm on the left guy, I might have to replace that.

Opinions or ideas?

>>55416342
Hm... with the way that the Mount now works in combination with artifacts and the like, would Envenomed Spear be valid for the Arachnarok with Grot Shaman? The shaman himself doesn't have any melee weapons or attacks, but the howdah he rides on does.

"...Before they suffer through the reforging they must first build their strength, spending three days and night in the endless feast in the Heldenhall. Afterwards they are taken into the Chamber of the Broken World and are blasted apart by lightnings and are reforged anew in the Forge Eternal. This agonising process can last for a few heartbeats or many centuries and not all survive it. Then they must suffer through the seven times seven Cairns of Tempering where their bodies and souls are mixed with the Gift of Gods. Finally they are wrought on the Anvil of the Apotheosis and, if they survive, they receive the last blessings of the World Hammer and awaken imbued with a portion of Sigmar's power."

>>55421334
Did you watch the "Watchmen" movie? Sigmar is literally picking mighty warriors and give them Doctor Manhattan treatment. He is blasting them into particles and mixing with magic and shit. He is literally making an army of magical Übermensch buffed by Azyr magic. They are not men anymore but still keep their humanity. There is one problem - when they die they have to be reforged again and again. With every blasting and rebuilding them they are losing a part of their memories, personality etc - they are literally changing into golem

I think it looks good but the orb doesn't look its all that supported maybe I don't know add something to the ribbons.

Slaves to Darkness are the best army in the game.
Why?
Once you have 40ish warriors, a warshrine, a sorcerer, 40ish mauraders... you have 5 armies.

Want those sweet destiny dice and skyfires? Add some skyfires and bam, you have a strong tzeentch army.

Nurgle is going to be the next hotness with new rules? Add a box of blight kings and bam, new army.

Just paint your warriors etc in a color that they can all use like black, silver, white and you have an army almost as versatile as stormkeks

Also you can add jabbersythes as allies and they are OH PEE

This is what I'm doing with my StD too. Painted them dark silver, so they're god-neutral. Then just gotta slot in some specific stuff around them. God fuckin Modularity.

(Not quite finished pic, but you get the idea.)

>>55422178
Don't get into melee if at all avoidable. You don't like it there, you suck at it and you will loose guys by the truckload.

>>55422377
You can make the capes a color if you want.
Red capes on the warriors will work for Khorne and red is good with greens for nurgle as well.
If you want to stay totally neutral white works as well.

>>55422406

I've just painted the capes black. Good and neutral.

>>55422390
Tzaangors are a solid melee block right?

>>55422377
This makes me want to start StD army but I would like to mix them with some daemons

>>55422522
Outside of daemons Tzeentch got a lot of surprisingly good melee shit; Tzaangors and Enlightened are fairly brutal, the Ogroid is a monster nearly in par with the Megaboss and properly-marked units from StD are always neat.
For melee I generally use 20 Tzaangors escorting an Ogroid Thaumaturge into the thick of it and have 6 Enlightened as mobile troubleshooters.

>>55422332
I use a lot of non Citadel paints anyway, so it just seems useless to me.

>>55422522
Also, in regards to summoning ruling,
"Roll a dice each time a Kairic acolyte from the cult of the Transient form is slain. On a roll of 6, they are blessed with new life and are transmogrified into a Tzaangor. If there is already a friendly Tzaangor unit within 6" of the slain model's unit, add the Tzaangor to that unit, otherwise set it up as a new unit within 6" of the slain model unit."
In regards to rules, does adding a model to a preexisting unit count towards my total model cost? I read that creating a new unit does, but does adding count?

>>55422644
Adding to a unit is free until you exceed the unit's starting size.

>>55422522
gaunt summoner destroys hordes with his spell

You know, a pair of Doom Diver Catapults and a Grot Shaman actually sounds like a delightful addition to my Spiderfang army. Still within the 400 point of allies for the homebrew Allegiance if I end up using it, and a pair of 50'' range shots with 3+ to hit -- and 4+ to redirect onto something else within 10" if they miss the primary target -- that wounds on 3+ with -1 Rend and 1d6 Damage sounds divine. Especially when one of them gets hit by the Sneaky Stabbin' to wound on 2+ with -2 Rend. And for 320 points, can't argue with the cost.

>>55421455

Yeah, Stormcasts are a neat concept thats been fucked up by GW handling.

Fair call. I suppose I was looking at it from the prospective of expanding the focus by using Fantasy armies with the same ruleset so I only had to introduce them to The 4 Page Rules(tm) rather than full WFB rules. Hopefully more books that aren't just endless Sigmarine crusades will help flesh out they setting. Reincarnations of Gotrek and Felix and competent writing staff could save it. Maybe.

Biggest changes since the last time I posted >>55416342 (You) has been an overhaul to Embodiment of the Spider-God.

Went through a few different possibilities including giving them bubbles of a 1-3 or 1-4 along the lines of Dispossessed, but ultimately was convinced to just make the ability a good deal weaker and simply make it 8" bubbles of re-rolling battleshock.

And to go with the weakened Embodiment, it was suggested to put in a third trait to tie the package together nicely. I was halfway leaning towards a movement trait -- something along the lines of a 6" pile in, perhaps. And I was halfway leaning towards something to deal with terrain. So in the end, I went for both. There are two versions to this trait, though I was definitely leaning towards the on in the pdf. It's essentially an Assassin's ability to deploy inside of a unit except instead shunted into terrain. I could see this being potentially too much, and I'd be very willing for a limitation on this ability even if it's something as simple as just nixing the ability to seize control. The second version, I'll just post here.

>Infestation: Instead of setting up a SPIDERFANG unit on the battlefield, you can place it to one side and say that it is hiding. If you do so, secretly note down one terrain feature for all units to hide in. In your first movement phase, you must set up all infesting units within 6" of the terrain feature you picked and more than 9" from any enemy models. This is the unit's move for that movement phase.

Thoughts?

Depends on how you want to use them, most weapons can be good.

I'm probbaly going to get two boxes, I was thinking 2 Ratling Cannons, Grinderfists to tunnel up and blast some heroes or something, the other 3 melee oriented, but shock gauntlets are pretty hard to math hammer, especially with the various +1 to hit buffs chaos can throw around

I really like warp-lightning cannons even if they're not great

I'm definitely going to ally in some clanrats to hide weapon teams inside though


>>55426416
are they really that good? the warpfire weapon teams don't seem that good, are the fiends much better? my second of 3 was leaning towards shockfists + 1 warpfire but I dunno

>>55426466
Warpfire stormfiends just straight up do a minimum of six mortal wounds each turn. It's pretty awesome.

>>55426499
warpfire skaven are the definition of glass cannon. Absolutely brutal MW output on expensive fragile bodies. they're fun.

>>55426590

I've tried my best to explain that my army is a glass cannon (I lose to the resident nurgle player all the goddamn time) but they refuse. They want to ban stormfiends in path to glory

>>55426620

I love this 2k list. Competitive with an achilles heel for a step down from waac, just how i likes it.

>>55426590
they seem expensive as fuck, 300 points, good save but low wound count for 300, and limited damage output, like warpfire throwers don't shoot in the opponent's turn, and they're incredibly short range

If I'm running a 10 man squad of Pink Horrors is there a catch for taking an Iridescent Horror, Iconbearer and Hornblower? Is it foolish to not take them? Are they mandatory?

>>55428528
it's a drawback not to use them, no catch. I'd recommend you having the iconbearer be the iridescent horror. Since you want that one to be alive the longest and there's nothing that says you can't make the unit leader the icon bearer.

>>55428528
No catch.

AoS is a game born for modelists (remember, AoS didn't have points at first).

We love to build the squad full optional, because they look cool, so the game doesn't make you pay for those.

This also assure that the "What you see is what you get" rule is basically omnipresent. Which is cool.

>>55428566
That's pretty sweet. Is it possible for my iridescent horror to be a Iconbearer alongside a Hornblower? Also, in regards to wording, "Models in this unit may be Iconbearers ." & "Models in this unit can be Hornblowers." Every model in this unit may be Iconbearers and Hornblowers meaning I can model a Jamboree of Tzeentch?

>>55428629
You can indeed to that if you'd like. Though having the unit leader with a blowhorn and a banner might look a bit silly.

>>55428629
If a Champion can also be a Iconbearer and/or musician is up to debate. The anon above said you can, I think you can't.

When in doubt, just build them as they appear in the box. Champion, Musician, Iconbearer.

Gamezone, Mantic, which is essentially hateboner for GW given form, Avatar of War, a lot of Hasslefree models, all of the now-dead Void/I-Kore line, just to name a few. Then you have the entire "3rd party bits" industry, from Chapterhouse to the million pollack webstores with random bits. Companies like PP and CB are notable because they decided not to ride on GW's coattails.

Yet still i don't get how exactly it's relevant to AoS design.

Holy shit I just took a look at their dwarf berserkers. They're essentially identical to slayers in their imagery.

It really says a lot about his character I think, how he can be an arrogant and egotistical Death God but still not recognising himself as a Dark Lord.

Maybe he says that as an insult? He must think himself more than a mere dark lord.

So, been toying with this list idea. Thinking of fluffing it out as a Sigmar force that goes deep into fighting Khorne forces and ends up tainted and possessed, mostly cus I wanna model some possesed Stormcast. The Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount's trait is actually the +1 damage one that Khorne Daemons can take, as it (being Khorne Daemon and Mortal) can take from all the charts, thus giving him a 3 damage, -2 rend weapon that goes to 3 mortal wounds on sixes, which is pretty nice. Plus lets me play around with the fun Bloodstoker+Gorebeast chariot combo, and use the trait.

Starter box Hammers of Sigmar VS Starter box Goretide.

Hm, is three Lobbers too many? Fits in pretty nicely, and since they are 100 a head, can easily switch them in and out for spiders.

>>55428920
Would it surprise you to know that the designers of the original slayers work for Mantic? The majority of their staff are all old GW folks who parted ways with the company for various reasons and essentially wanted to make GW like it was back in the old day where love of the game took priority over love of profit.

I really do love their dwarf minis, along with with a great deal of the rest of their stuff. As far as KoW goes, I only play their dwarves -- fuck yeah, badger cavalry -- though I've got some Chaos Dwarves to expand on. And kikestarted the current edition of Warzone where I was given an absolutely ridiculous amount of grade A sci-fi minis for a comically small price.

>>55430082
That wouldn't make any sense, given they are still mortals. Also, given there are Khorne rules that allow you to instill bloodlust, certainly works in that regard.

>>55418633>>55419833
My only complaint wuld be the floating Stormcast. He looks kind of akward there. I'd suggest adding some stuff trailing behind him to also suggest movement.

>>55430538
Tony Ackland was one of the guys that made Chaos what it is.

There were other guys working with him, making sculpts, artworks and writing stuff.

GW hired them as part time workers.

Basically the dudes have some discussion which end up in a lawsuit between each others.
This is the time when GW discovers that, for british laws, part time workers, unlike full timers, keep the rights for what they produce.

This means GW actually owned basically nothing of the stuff they produced at the time, and they didn't notice until then.

Basically in extreme panic they fire everybody that worked parttime, even guys like Tony Ackland that were actually willing to sell the rights and continue working.

GW cancelled any project (Malal was one of them) and hired other sculptors to remake the stuff just substantially different to avoid any problem.

That's how Juan Diaz Daemonettes were born, among a lot of other stuff.

it doesn't help that the bestigor box is both expensive and almost nonexistent on the secondary market. If you spend most of your points on warherd allegiance models and then just ally in a few hundred points of gors/bray shamans you'd cut way down on model count.

>There’s more! Firestorm comes with 10 new allegiance abilities representing the unique armies of the Great Cities and those who would tear them down. The Great Cities are the kingdoms of Order in the Mortal Realms, each home to a unique and varied collection of humans, elves, duardin and Stormcast Eternals. You may remember some of them from the Season of War campaign, such as the Greywater Fastness, others you may have already explored, like Hammerhal, while some are completely new, like Tempest’s Eye. The new allegiance abilities are designed to represent how these cities fight; the forces of the Phonecium, for instance, are inspired to fight harder by the deaths of their comrades, honouring the Ur-Phoenix, while the armies of Anvilgard crush their foes underfoot in relentless marches. We’ll be previewing some of these next week in detail – what’s more, these are usable in any of your games, not just Firestorm!
