You left out Endhammer and 9th Age.
On the topic of Vermintide: Anyone going to make a Mordheim Warband based on the... fivesome?
how many warmachines and engineers should a 1000 point dorf army include?
>>43493015
>You left out Endhammer and 9th Age.
Look under the AoS Alternatives section
Why you keep starting these threads if they all sunked after 200 posts? Admit it, most WHFB community chose Age of Sigmar.
>>43493269
That's a different game. Some people still want to play this game. What's wrong with that?
>>43493381
It's fantasy Warhammer.
So who here has been attending 8th ed tournies?
>>43493015
I imagine most people will.
>>43493056
A lot. Or none.
Frankly, it's up to you. Maybe a single Organ Gun is enough for 1k.
Frankly, I just really like Quarrelers. 30 man units, 10 wide with GW and shields are fucking hilarious.
>>43493269
Because we want to talk about WHFB
And there is no way most of the community left to AoS. It looks like most of the community just got depressed and left.
Look at AoS. look at all the stores with stock discounted to 50%. AOS isn't popular in the slightest.
Also, troll, please leave.
Expanding upon >>43493506
There is no "should". It depends on a lot of factors. If you're going for an optimally competitive army then you want to cram in artillery and engineers to the exclusion of everything else. But if you've ever played that list you'll know it's super unfun for both players. Personally I play with 1-2 artillery pieces max, and the rest are footsloggers. That's just how I like my Dwarfs. It's more fun for everyone involved.
There are other builds too. Look at Empire for example. Some of the builds I've seen for them include Witch Hunter army, Engineer army, Black Fire Pass army, New World expedition army, Mercenary army, War of the Three Emperors army, Merchant Prince army, Border Prince army, etc.
>>43493549
Only 228 players voting for 9th age as ETC ruleset.
Sorry I am high as fuck but shit I really want a video game that's like Skyrim or Fallout: New Vegas but with like WHFB RPG rules. I miss the old world. Age of Sigmar is so much higher fantasy that it's fairy tale level stuff. Not bad, but not what I am looking for. The Fantasy RPG thing that FFG made is so underrated. Sorry if none of this made sense I am not sober at all.
Okay so how many chances that human society (few not large settlement),) can leabe near the Ogres Kingdoms?
Fucking hell. I'm looking for a Dwarf Quarreler and Ebay only has the Oldhammer version. Anyone know where I can find a good Dwarfish Ranger model?
>>43494221
Avatars of War.
>>43494221
Might be able to find it from a recaster too. I don't see any in Z's catalog but he's only one option.
Why are dark elves so damn fun?
it's all the filth of playing high elves with none of the guilt.
Ditto for all mounted wood elves.
>>43494362
>wardex
>fun
>>43494386
I'll admit that 8th ed is a pile of ass and that wards books along with most 8th ed books are a let down but the dark elves are fun as fuck.
>>43495661
They are fun only of you play them, not against them, while models was best elves release.
Mocking up some models based on the characters from Vermintide. Found a Waywatcher elf-woman and a Greatsword. There's a few promising witch hunters, but none use a rapier like Saltzpyre does (unless any of you know of a model I'm missing).
Then there's Bardin to deal with -- need to find a good Dwarf ranger.
And finally, most difficult, Sienna Fuegonassus. A Bright -Witch-. Dunno how I'm gonna do that. Any suggestions on a base model I should toss green stuff on?
Whats a good size for Dragon Prince units?
And is a prince ON a dragon any good?
>>43493269
>most WHFB community chose Age of Sigmar.
Here goes the this broken shitposter, really, just how many warhammer related threads do you lurk both here and on /vg/?
>>43496010
Try the classic Empire wizard model and toss a female head on it. Enough robes and greenstuff flames will make it look enough like her. Of course, that depends on you getting her the right head.
Also, Vermintide looks pretty fun, I'm tempted to get it. Is it any good?
>>43493868
As long as said society is able to endure raids/pay prices/pass unnoticed
>>43496438
I'm fairly certain a lot of them have drifted over to /vtg/ over on /vg/, considering that amount of WHFB discussion that goes on ther. But then again, that's to be expected.
>>43496026
Depends on the points and the enemy
A dragon is not worth it if you have to pass the game hiding from cannons.
>>43496461
L4D with skavens, loot and challenge. It's great. So great you get +2 strength when wielding it
>>43496476
Without taking into consideration "the lot", this one is a really persistent and recognizable one at that, since before the end times too.
>>43496507
Bitch'n. I guess I'll pick it up some time soon.
>>43496499
He means heavy cavalry. My opinion 5 or 10, if you didn't try to build cav+monsters army.
>>43496571
Not him but be warned, I had to stop playing. It was giving me ulcers. People are bad at this game and worse about communication. If you find one in a hundred people with VoIP enabled then you're lucky.
>>43496606
He also meant dragon
>And is a prince ON a dragon any good?
>>43496970
I wanted to start playing but it seems the players are dropping a lot after the first weeks, is the situation any good for the future?
>>43497101
Where did you hear that? That's news to me. I haven't played in four days but that's hardly enough time for it to shrink.
The game is fun, well-made, has an active development team involved with the community, lots of progression, plenty of room for expansion, and a promise to do just that. Left 4 Dead is still being played and it had almost none of that. Vermintide will be around for a long time, especially as a game to buy a 4-pack of and play with friends. It's perfect for LAN parties or just hanging out on Steam.
But god damn are pubs stupid and uncommunicative. Like I said I had to quit playing despite all of the above. Maybe you have a stronger stomach.
>>43497128
>Where did you hear that?
Check the game page on steam.
>>43496469
So they will be a pretty poor, right?
Any information about climate in south-west borders of ogres kingdoms?
What are the most useful WHFRP supplement books?
I've heard career compendium is good, but does anything else really stand out?
>>43497390
Personally I loved the Bestiary and the Liber Chaotica.
>>43496026
5,7 or 10.
High elf dragons are pretty good.
>>43495867
So we agree that they're fun to play with.
What's really troubling me is finding a sufficiently slutty model to use as a sorceress.
>>43497603
They are fun, because all wardexes overpowered, so you can chose much more different units.
>What's really troubling me is finding a sufficiently slutty model to use as a sorceress.
Ragging heroes, AoW.
>>43497390
Old World Armoury is a good one. Tome of Salvation if anyone intends on playing a priest, or Realms of Sorcery if anyone is playing a wizard. Tome of Corruption is good too, even if you just use it for the mutations.
http://www.windsofchaos.com/
This site has some really good resources like maps and expanded critical hit charts that I highly recommend.
>>43497255
Yes, pretty poor, at best the ogres will "trade" (as in taking your stuff for not eating you as you live there or cross controlled roads) at worst they will eat your house whole and do bread with the bones of children.
Any variation of ecosystem as long as it is mostly a more cold-barren one than the geographical equivalent on earth.
so, I go out of touch with WHFB for a couple of weeks, I come back and BAM, there's whole bunch of new armybooks on 9th Age website!
it's like Christmas come early!
talking of which, I'm kinda dismayed they teased with Skaven pistol infantry and then cut them. was it for legitimate balance issues, or just because? I already started converting mine!
also, Wardancers with shields? what? of course I can always get away fluffing it as protective magic, 'cos I don't wanna slap shields on my dancers, but still.
although I appreciate they just gave them A2 and ditched dual weapons. now I can give them all sorts of spears and staff without crunch penalties.
any info/opinions about that Russian recaster that got advertised on the news? looks like a nice alternative to Chinaman, may even have a proper website, being Russian
>>43493868
how about this
>a small town by a very craggy patch of mountains
>grows cattle in secret valleys, that ain't easily reachable for ogres
>sells said cattle to nearby tribes in exchange for shinies (which ogres don't care about) and not being eaten
>tell ogres that they don't grow cattle, but buy cattle from far away lands beyond the impassable mountains
>ogres can't really navigate the crags in force, and lonely ogre adventurers normally get into "accidents" from locals, so the secret is not disclosed
>also, ogres ain't too bright and don't give enough damn to try to find out the source of cattle
>profit for both town and ogres
I have about 250€ to drop on WHFB and I want a change from my beloved lizardmen. What's a nice army I can pick up a sizeable (playable?) force with this?
>>43497996
ogres
chaos worriors
hi elves
any army, if you use mantic minis
>>43497844
You mean Russian Alternative?
>>43498022
no I mean the guy who calls himself Walter and recasts in blue-ish plastic, so he can see himself like that Breaking Bad guy
he was in Russian news once, journalists filmed his factory, but obviously nobody arrested him or done jack shit to him, 'cos nobody cares, it's Russia
>>43498006
Ogres seems nice. What can I start with? I guess a battalion is a given, then a character and maybe a few more stuff?
>>43497881
Thanks, interesting idea. It could looks cool with my main idea for rpg session.
>>43498062
Gnoblars, one of the funny WHFB models.
>>43493478
I have. The non-AoS Community is still kicking in the UK.
Recently been to a 60 player 8th tournament and going to a 64 man 9th age tournament which sold out in less than a week.
Meanwhile, the previously biggest events of the year which sold out in a matter of days for 8th are struggling to sell even half their tickets because they chose to switch to AoS.
So guys when do you consider your army "complete"? Is it a neverending cycle of purchase and getting new stuff just in case? Or once you have enough to field an force of any type with your chosen army?
I have almost every unit in my army and I'm wondering if I should continue augmenting it or switch to new one.
>>43497805
I think they preferred to concentrate on the core stuff before adding things.
Personally I'm waiting for the thing to grow a bit more before restarting to read rules and play some games.
>>43498447
I consider my army complete when I can say I have enough stuff for a pair of lists with a bit of diversity.
It's usually a matter of one of each piece, 2 for core choices.
But I can get who doesn't feel to just consider his collection ended, there's always that voice saying "that unit could be bigger" "you could have that hero but converted, and then the basic one too" "why don't you make that homebrewed unit you've thought of?" "Those old models don't sit well alongside those ones, you could add some more model and a hero to have a separate unit" "why are those 2 units uneven?"
At that point to "completed" I prefer to consider an army on "indefinitely halted growth"
That is unless you have a peculiar list and defined fluff to follow
>>43496461
Vermintide is great. It's a better L4D and Warhammer-themed.
>>43499255
>It's a better L4D
L4D better optimized, didn't have so many bugs and not focused on HoM grinding.
>>43498447
never. even if I get so many model I won't be able to legally field them in a massivest of games, I can always explore other styles. got Von Carstein undead? time to make Frankenstein-style scientific undead!
wait, Dwarfs got monstrous infantry in 9th Age? What gives?
>>43499311
You don't have to focus on HoM grinding. I prefer Enemy Below, for instance. HoM is full of scrub, nooby groups that barely know what they're doing and all want to use the exploits, anyway.
Garden of Morr, by the way, probably has the most FUN exploit (you can fly above the map). So you should also check that out, if you like the exploits. Can regularly get a Grim and a Tome on Cataclysm with bots.
>>43493269
Age sucks.
>>43494362
Why would HE who don't bring Banner have guilt?
Suggestions for a good dwarf model to serve as Bardin from Vermintide?
>>43498097
>Gnoblars, one of the funny WHFB models.
>>43501358
Why would HE who bring Banner have guilt?
>>43502961
AoW rangers with some GW dwarf head.
>heard you talking shit
>>43504620
Back whells should be replaced by 2 Doomwheels.
>>43504709
but you can see doomwheels inside the frame!
>>43504990
Oh really, well, may be screaming bell for tower?
>>43505041
not exactly. it gotta be the arch from screaming bell used to mount a plagueclaw catapult... which hurls orbs from plague furnace... and the screaming bell is the counterweight.
fuck AoS but this model is awesome!
9th Age needs rules for three-headed chaos monster mount fast!
>>43507153
Go to your general GW.
is fantasy still a thing? have an army of dwarves I need to get rid of and there are no takers on ebay
>>43507182
>is fantasy still a thing?
Only for small local groups.
>>43507203
well Im fucked then
>>43507182
wait for 9th Age and KoW to gain ground
you'll have your buyers in some time
>>43503029
Wow, I'm impressed
And by gnoblars!
how would you represent shields on Bladedancers, without actually giving them shields?
(9th Age)
>>43507260
As far as miniatures go, you might still sell them to people playing Age of Sigmar or Kings of War, the games are compatible in that regard.
>>43507923
Didn't using shtty rules?
>>43507923

Does anyone want a Legend of the White Dwarf story time?
>>43510131

>>43510271
5/12
Pay heed to the memory of High King Snorri Whitebeard, king of kings and greatest of dawi.
>>43510296
6/12
Snorri takes on the big daddy of all trolls.
>>43510331
7/12
Or maybe it isn't Snorri at all. A story changes each time it's retold.
>>43510346
8/12
Snorri or not, he's still a bad motherfucker.
>>43510373
9/12
So, who is this old dawi? He seems to know an awful lot about this White Dwarf...
>>43510403

The Skaven break through, but find that wasn't the right thing to do.
>>43510433
11/12
If everyone's in here, who's doing the killing out there?
>>43510449

So begins another story that will be told throughout the Karaz Ankor, and ends this particular legend of the White Dwarf.

All hail Grombrindal. The White Dwarf lives in our legends, and his world whith him
I am thinking to plan a WHF RPG 2nd ed campaign, and i want to make Bloodbowl a part of the setting. Not the overly goofy version, but still, something the imperial citizen might gather around to watch and players having "diplomatic immunity"
What would be the stat for an average human bloodbowl player?
>>43510852
I would use the Common Labourer stats from Old World Armoury, page 98. It's a fairly average statline and you can alter it and his skills and talents depending on what role he has on the pitch.
>>43510504
thanks for story time anon.
>>43510852
on a WHFRPG note, I know it no longer works perfectly but does anyone know the stat conversion formula from WHFRPG to WHFB?
>>43510131
Not to be needy, but I don't suppose you have any of the other Warhammer comics? I'm having a bitch of a time tracking them down.
>>43513741
I think this link has some under the Inferno! folder, I'm looking through them. I've been looking for them myself, specifically the Warhammer Online ones.

>>43513980
Yep, but they are very out of date. It takes a lot of patience since every other book has been updated while Bretonnia's book is over ten years old now.

Skaven are hilariously fun. You either win big or lose spectacularly. They're the only army that can shoot their own soldiers, and most of your stuff has a 1/4-1/3rd chance of killing itself or friends. It's all about maneuvering the randomness of your force into positions where it affects the enemy and not yourself. Hopefully.
It's also a super expensive army because, you know, hordes, though the Island of Blood set helps immensely. Cheap core FTW
>>43513974
I loved Secret Lives of Mobs. I rescued 7 of them using the Way Back Machine years ago but the rest are lost. I'll post what I have tomorrow.

>>43497644

Yeah, because magic-users needed to be even more powerful compared to the mundane chumps.
>>43497881
But ogres do care about shinies. Obvious signs of wealth and all that.
>>43512768
There is none.
>>43508188
yeah, I thought about that, but a little (really little, don't worry) munchkin inside me frets about no using obvious advantages.
although you're probably right
>>43508205
naaah, would look dumb. I think I'll skip shields entirely
talking of Bladedancers, are musicians finally viable for them in 9th Age?
>>43493269
nah, they have chosen KoW, 8th or 9th age, else you couldn't get the aos starter for $50 or AoS would sell a limited edition book for once
aos is deaderer than whfb
>>43497996
250€ should buy you a variety of things, most of my armies are in the 300€ range at 2400. Just use ebay or wayland
>>43498062
Imo get two battalions. Awesome fucking price for a such good building block
>>43517366
>nah, they have chosen KoW, 8th or 9th age,
Less than 1k, the rest didn't voting because AoS wasn't include.
>>43517616

>>43517711
Wut? There are only 228 players who will come to ETC with WHFB.

what's that slavbro
>>43517726
>the sum of voters is equal to the sum of people interested
Yeah, sure bud
are Grove Riders with shields instead of bows worth it? I think I'll convert some anyway, but I was wondering.
Also, Skirmishing still screws up rank bonus in 9th, right? So not must have on Dryads, right?
>>43517860
>>the sum of voters is equal to the sum of people interested
It's not even voters numbers, it's numbers of people who will play WHFB tournament.

so, /whfb/, what are you working on at the moment? some nice conversion? painting something cool? tell me!
let's inspire each other!
>>43518003
Embarking into painting a Tomb Kings army. Halfway done with my casket of souls, which I'm using converted spirit hosts to make more interesting, then its on to many, many skeletons.
>>43518003
~28 night goblins, ~40ish orc boyz, 35 common goblins, 8 black orcs and 5 stone trolls are on my list which im working on right now (working on the night goblins as we speak)
I've yet to decide when I do the rest of my 2 battalions and pile of characters
Going to convert a common goblin warboss w/ great weapon into a spider banner BSB once the goblin itself arrives
>>43492716
Where can i get all the faq & errata for whfb 8th?
>>43518023
What kind of list are you working up to?
>Trying to build Winter/Snow themed Skaven Army
>Plague Priest and Furnace, Grey Seer, Engineer, Chieftan
>3 sets of Clanrats each with a Mortar, 2 sets of Slaves
>3 Jezzails, 6 Gutter Runners, 15 Plague Monks
>Single Doomwheel and Warplightning Cannon
Anything I should change?
Considering swapping Jezzails out for another set of Slaves or Clanrats.
>>43518346
pestilens feels strange in a winter setting, they mostly operated in lustria, as well as the green on white thing just isn't the best, skryre is a much better fit. it is your army and your imagination ofc, but I'd just cut the furnace/priest/plague monks
>>43518322
It's for 9th Age so I'm working towards a bit of a bunker list with two units of 30 archers, a big brick of tomb guard, catapults and a casket; with a few small units of horsemen as chaff/warmachine hunters.
>>43518207

I'm converting Aspect of the Toxic Pollen Dryad Matriarch as branchwraith with bow. is that wysiwyg enough, or could be misleading?

bah, just realized it affects whole unit!
how many ranged dryads would be enough? i was thinking 9 + Matriarch could provide some nice shooting, no?

I wonder if any wood elf players are around
I just field greenies

>>43519761
doubt that. all Wood Elf related questions in this thread are from me and no replies. meh.
Didn't have good internet for now, can someone tell me what monstrous infamtry was given to dwarves?
>>43519768
If you get back to it in two years, I might have built that wood elf army i've been meaning to start and have answers
>>43519860
they are called Hold Guardians
S6 T5, Plate Armor and 6+ Innate Defense, low I and A, have ItP and can get Fireborn and Flaming Attacks - apparently supposed to be dwarfs in steampunk power armour.
>>43519923
And what models they use?
>>43519937
9th Age is just rules. it ain't got model guidelines
probably you can use something from Warmachine or Reaper
>>43519956
>9th Age is just rules.
Well yes, but they at least should mentioned what it's supposed to be.
>>43519986
Welp at least they supply you with the intended base sizes
>>43520015
So what they role in dwarf army, counter-charge?
Also, they didn't planing to bring back DoW?
>>43520041
they have M5, so I guess they go ahead of the army and keep enemy busy in melee, so your slow main forces can get into combat without getting flanked... hopefully
>>43518003
Try to put banner from prince and noble box on swordmaster bearer model.
>>43517391
So with two battalion and a unit of Gnoblars, I'm at 200€. What should I get next? A hero, a lord? (I can get one later), a monster (the stornhorn looks so damn glorious)? A pack of something?
I must say pretty much everything in this book seems appealing, I love them all already.
just noticed 9th Age ditched both templates and all the effects that allowed to pop up in the middle of the battlefield (like Entombed Beneath the Sands and the like)
crap.
still better than KoW though
>>43520329
you can convert hero/lord from the battalions, you get like 30+ ogres from two
I'd say a wizard and either a big beast, or some boxes of mournfangs. Also, ogre cannons are pretty good
>>43520516
god I will miss that battalion when they retire it for age of shitmar. so much value in a box, probably the best battalion around there
What is the main difference between 9th Age and 8th Esition?
Skimping. over it, it looks like 8th ed with less interesting army special rules.
>>43520823
Haven't bothered reading through the material, its so uninteresting and ugly
>>43520437
Okay, well, I have a secret for youstick with 8th
>>43520823
rulewise, it's more streamlined. similar special rules from different army books are just rolled into universal special rules (e.g. Toxic Attacks)
Steadfast took a hit, Monster mounts now provide same benefits as Monstrous Cavalry to the riders (i.e. rider uses mount's T and W), Characters can no longer soak up damage for their units, and cannot even be attacked outside challenges or until their unit is all but wiped out.
Armybooks got more customization, many going back to 6th Ed. style. Vampires got their Bloodlines back, Wood Elves got Kindreds and upgrades for forest spirit heroes back, stuff like that. At the same time, everything that is virtually identical, but was for some reason a separate entry got rolled together - like Empire's State Troops and the like. Ironically, flavour is now stronger, with stuff like Greater Clans being relevant for Skaven, and stuff.
Also, a lot of stuff got moved around, pushing more OP units into Rare, or more necessary units into Core/Special. it's ETC making the game, after all, so there's some thought about balance.
>>43521479
and give up all the Kindreds and Bloodlines my WE and VC got back? hell no. I'm sticking with 9th come realm of chaos or dangerous terrain.

>>43521642
Fool! Death matters not
>>43522001
Then just take the models you want 'killed' and add some slashes and other wounds with gs and a hobby knife. 90% of what you want then can done with the paintjob.
Vermintide Miniatures Ideas:
Victory Saltzpyre, Witch Hunter: 40k Inquisitor with Inferno Pistol (cut down pistol, convert sword into rapier... somehow and file down inquisitorial "I".)
Markus Kruber, Empire Soldier: Greatsword. 'Nuff said.
Kerillian, Waywatcher: Metal waywatcher chick. Green stuff for fur collar.
Bardin Goreksson, Dwarf Ranger: Dwarf warrior with great weapon -- crossbow slung on his back. No ideas for he backpack.
Sienna Fuegonassus, Bright Wizard: Totally at a loss.
>>43522103
So are you looking for suggestions or feedback on which minis to use?
I don't know the characters from the game, but I might be able to help you out if you post a reference.
>>43522087
I know. that's why asked for nice generic models.
but I'll just get a box of Empire Militia, i think.
>>43521570
>Characters can no longer soak up damage for their units, and cannot even be attacked outside challenges or until their unit is all but wiped out.
You can still allocate attacks to Characters inside a unit. The only difference is that you can always attack Rank & File models to avoid the weird shit with character walls.
>>43522148
Yes. Please. Would love help. I was posting my ideas so far.
All the heroes: http://www.vermintide.com/heroes/
>>43522348
ah, then I must have misread
>>43522402
Okay, I'll post a few minis then.
First thing I was thinking when I saw the Witchhunter was this guy.
>>43522502
Funny enough you could also build the dwarf with AoW minis.
the LotR line also has Dwarf Rangers.
>>43522590
Not the most exact match for the sorceress, but if you sculpt some fire onto her head and add the top of a torch to her staff you are pretty close already.
>>43522651
I could also see this one working with a headswap and a similar conversion on the staff
>>43522798
This looks like a pretty close match to the waywatcher. Just glue a bow on her back.
It even has the fur collar and the hood.
>>43522830
And the soldier looks like the spitting image of this guy, now sadly oop.
That all I can think of for now. Good luck with your project.
>>43522950
You can make something really simmilar to that with the empire general kit. It was in the WD when the kit was released.
>>43492716
Where do you buy fantasy miniatures nowadays?
The new GW site is fucking shit and looks like they canned 3/4 of the stuff they had.

Return of Reckoning, the WAR private server, is linked in the OP. I was just dinking around on my Black Orc yesterday. Got some new feetsplates in fact.
>>43522830
What is this from?
>>43519098
I bought IoB for the Skaven half and sold the High Elves but I could not sell the Prince on Gryphon or the Mage. They don't cost enough on eBay to even make shipping worth it.
I think I'm going to convert the gryphon into a unit filler for my slaves. Clip the wings, GS on some bandages and wounds, and reposition it if I can. Should look boss. The mage I have no idea what I'll do with...
>>43519538
How do you plan to represent that aspect?
>>43522590
Doesn't exactly fit. Too much cloak/hood.
>>43523619
branchwraith with a that curved dryad claw modified to look like a living bow.
not sure if I should convert a whole unit to match though...

>>43519937
I'm assuming it's based on the the suit in that one illustration. I don't have it saved but it's from one of the army books or the BRB and it's very clearly got a Dwarf dreadnought in the background. Pic related is some guy's take on creating models for it. They're very accurate and I think would fit in great.
>>43523721
this actually looks pretty awesome and oldschool. i love it.
>>43521570
damn all this flavor is making me want to check it out. I'll download 9th Age
>>43523454
I buy my LGS' remaining stock, plunder eBay, and go to recasters. I no longer have moral qualms with using them.
>>43523700
How about converting one as a test of concept and posting it for feedback? Or sketching some concepts?
>>43523731
IKR. I really wish I could find the illustration so you could see the real deal. IIRC it's got an orange shade to it and is a big battle with Empire and Dwarfs against Greenskins.
>>43523604
Otherworld minis. Great range of 'not D&D' miniatures. Love their undead and henchmen in particular.
>>43523628
Yeah. Might be worth checking the reaper catalog. They have tons of minis.
>>43523807
>I buy my LGS' remaining stock, plunder eBay, and go to recasters. I no longer have moral qualms with using them.
thanks
>>43523454
They canned it? I don't think anything current was dropped. The only things unavailable are the classic range, and anything that wasnt recasted to plastic. But those have been gone for at least half a decade.
I'm thinking of doing something like a 40 Goblin archer unit with a bsb towing the Spider Banner along and guarding them with 40 night goblins deployed 10x4 with spears and fanatics
Thing is, do I need more than 40 archers for this to do anything?
This is for casual games scaled at maybe 1500 to 2000 points
>>43525390
Them 40 gobbos won't kill enough of anything in one turn to avoid being charged and butchered the next turn, and their bows only have range 16 so they'll only get one chance. You'll really have to rely on those night gobbos to keep them safe. Even then you risk them just overrunning you 10 man units and proceeding into the next.
It's gonna be a total clusterfuck and the fanatics will make up the largest point expendure in that group.
Since it's a casual game, go a head. Likely gonna be a total clusterfuck.
>>43523504
Unfortunately I'm using the GW skeletons because I have a load of them around from when I was a kid.
I'm breaking the units up with unit fillers to make them look much less shit though. It's pretty easy to get decent egyptian looking ruins, Element does some decent ones.

Converting my Giant model, trying to figure out the easiest way to bend his arm properly so it'll wrap around the beer barrel I gave him without looking stretched out or warping.
>>43518003
Basic infantry of several races for WHFP. Dwarf warriors, quarrelers and thunderers. Beastmen Gors, Wood Elf Glade Guard, Empire Free Company, Skeletons. And a few characters as well.
Is it just me, or does Fantasy have more consistent canon than 40k (lel firstborn women face)?
The only real arguments I see where there is division on what the fluff says is between editions.
>>43527360
It does, for the most part. I think the problem is that 40k spans the galaxy, so it's much larger in scope but less focused. You have writers that can add in anything they want, but it rarely makes sense when you take all the other writers contributions into account.
>>43527360
Probably because a lot less was written for it.

>Blood Bowl
Do these threads ever actually talk Blood Bowl, or would it be smarter to make a different thread for that?
>>43528981
We talk about all things Warhammer, but if you want to talk solely about Blood Bowl it might be better to make a thread about it.
>>43529086
Okay. Because outside of the races used, and the occasional vague god reference, it seems like any BB conversation here would be swallowed up by the greater thread.

Hasslefree Miniatures.
>>43529964
A lot. The tales from the ten tailed cat is my favorite, as its multiple small chapters of people at a pub telling stories.
>>43530150
Sounds great, let's go with that one. Reminds me of the unit fluff descriptions from the Dwarf 6th edition book.
>>43528489
>Also, pic of the Bright Wizard if anyone else has ideas.
Looking at that pic now...I'd recommend looking at some rpg kind of clerics. They quite often sport robes like this. Would just have to switch the weapon for a staff then and maybe do a headswap.
Reaper has a range of fighting nuns for example.
