Dreadhold is cool edition
No new model until january; fyreslayer will fight for ur-gold. What is ur-gold then? I think that ur-gold exist in 40k too; is that something important, not just a precious metal, like the shard of their god?
>>44242957
>What is ur-gold then?
probably something more retarded than you would have thought of in your wildest dreams
that's AoS in a nutshell
>>44242957
Ur-gold is the opposite of mye-gold.
Hurr hurr hurr.
>>44243489
>>44242957
It's probably special gold that can't be transmuted.
Because normal gold is worthless given Chamon being a place.
>>44243489
>>44243494
>>44243526
My favourite theory is that ur-gold are fragments of Grimnir, after he was destroyed fighting that fire lizard or whatever it was, and the fyreslayers want it back to bring him back to full power.
>>44243494
>mercenary
>fights for ur gold
it's like pottery
>>44243551
Was that Grimnir or Gotrek?
>>44242957
>What is ur-gold then?
I was told it was gold from the Old World. Fragments of their relics that survived.
whats a good lizardmen army list?
>>44244091
>Was that Grimnir or Gotrek?
Grimnir.
>>44244091
If I remember correctly it is the shards of Grimnir that were scattered when he died killing the giant Salamander beast in the realm of fire. They want to get all the shards to try to bring him back. They're willing to fight for anyone in exchange for the shards.
>>44244156
>If I remember correctly
You do not. There is nothing to remember on this matter.
>>44244149
Will Gotrek EVER.
FUCKING.
DIE.
>>44244203
Nope, he now fulfills a useful function for the Dark Gods.
>>44244224
>Nope, he now fulfills a useful function for the Dark Gods
Explain?
>>44244194
I didn't make it up some I'm pretty sure I read something like this in one of the books. I'll look into it later.
>>44244285
Gotrek, like Grimnir before him, is where the Gods through their garbage failure daemons at until they are ready to forgive them.
Essentially they have set him up to be their perpetual spanking machine.
>>44244303
You did not.
You probably just read about it here. See >>44243551
>>44244285
Not him.
But as I recall from the novel, Gotrek keeps Be'lakor's daemon armies from being free.
>>44244332
I wrote both posts
>>44244149
See, I'm not sure.
It's established canon that Gotrek dies killing something more powerful than a greater daemon. I think the king of drakes certainly qualifies.
>>44244324
>throw*
What will they do now that there's no Grimnir/Gotrek to fill the role?
>>44244357
>See, I'm not sure.
>It's established canon that Gotrek dies killing something more powerful than a greater daemon. I think the king of drakes certainly qualifies.
Gotrek was killed by Grimnir.
>What will they do now that there's no Grimnir/Gotrek to fill the role?
There's still a Gotrek so far as we know.
Gotrek Gurnisson was the real winner of The End Times.
>>44244380
>Gotrek was killed by Grimnir.
True, but we are told his true death comes whilst killing something. And he definitely didn't kill Grimnir.
>There's still a Gotrek so far as we know.
I thought at the end of Slayer Gotrek replaces him and Grimnir just kinda fucks off?
Fuck, where is Felix in all of this? Is he still bound to Gotrek?
>>44244482
>True, but we are told his true death comes whilst killing something.
Not really though. That prophecy was fulfilled in Slayer.
>I thought at the end of Slayer Gotrek replaces him and Grimnir just kinda fucks off?
Yes. Griminir then shows up again in AoS where he dies. Gotrek is still around so far as we know.
>Fuck, where is Felix in all of this? Is he still bound to Gotrek?
Felix was on the world that was when it was destroyed. He was not bound to Gotrek.
>>44244482
Felix died by a lack of oxygen. Drowning I think.
>>44244582
>He was not bound to Gotrek.
I thought he and Gotrek were bound together to constantly fuck over Chaos?
>That prophecy was fulfilled in Slayer.
How so?
>Griminir then shows up again in AoS where he dies.
So it was definitely Grimnir? I thought it was supposed to be ambiguous.
>>44244763
>I thought he and Gotrek were bound together to constantly fuck over Chaos?
No. He was released from his oath.
>How so?
He was killed by Grimnir.
>So it was definitely Grimnir? I thought it was supposed to be ambiguous.
He is literally called Grimnir. I don't see how it could be ambiguous.
>>44244353
I don't know if you are claiming to of posted >>44243551, but if you are then stop being such a fucking liar because I did, and there would be no reason to even pretend you did anyway.
If that isn't what you meant, then you was not very clear.
>>44244763
>>44244849
OK did some research. Fyreslayers fight for anyone for gold. Per the AOS Primer.
Sigmar rescues Grungni and Grimnir in the realm of fire. They were somehow bound to the top of a mountain. Grungni repays him with his craft and Grimnir kills Vulcatrix, Mother of Salamanders, though Grimnir and Vulcatrix explode in their final clash. Her shards create volcanoes where they land and only the Duardin know what has become of the shards of Grimnir. Per the AOS Might Battles book.
>>44244791
Grimnir was fighting an unending daemon horde
Gotrek took his place letting grimnor join the end times
Since the whole realms got messed up gotrek and the white dwarf may be addressed in the duradin or fyreslayer stuff
By the way all. Ur as a prefix just means ancient/archaic. They probably just called it ur-gold to make it sound cool. The writers for AOS seem to have a hard on for using it with different words throughout the narrative.
>>44244324
but that's wrong.
>>44243551
I like this idea, maybe the Fyreslayers in dire straights sacrifice these fragments to createAvatars of Grimnir
>age if suckmar general
It is like you enjoy having cancer.
>>44248404It's better than WHFB ;)
>>44248404
It looks like you have anal cancer, since you sound booty blasted as fuck
>>44248966
Lol
>>44244791
Felix and Gotrek were bound via a powerful curse to oppose chaos, not an oath.
Gotrek took Grimnir's role. It's possible that he would just be called Grimnir after that.
Bought myself Maggoth Lord and box of Blightknights for xmass because they looked cool.
I've never played any tabletop games, just painted figs for fun, but I've heard you can play AoS with small forces.
What else would I need to set up some small nurgle force on table?
>>44248935
>implying
>>44250844
Technically you have all you need right there for a small game. A Hero and a unit is the backbone for a force.
From here on you just expand for larger games. You can get Chaos Warriors and nurglefy them with the spare blightking bits. Chaos warriors are a basic tough troop for chaos. Also you can go into chaos daemons. Getting nurglings and plaguebearers. Also nurgle allies very well with Skaven Pestilens. Plagueclaw catapults are a nice touch for range support, and plague monks provide good disposable chaff.
More than anything, keep doing what you've done so far, and get what you think looks cool.
AoS is unique from other wargames in that with it you field the army you want to field, not what you need to.
>>44250844
>Bought myself Maggoth Lord and box of Blightknights for xmass because they looked cool.
>paying for shitmar
>buying your own presents for yourself
>its not even christmas yet
What is wrong with you?
>>44251016
I'm too old for getting presents from anyone.
And as I said, i bought models because I liked them. I don't care if some random guy form internet likes system or not because it used to be diffrent when he started collecting his own army.
>>44246355
How so?
As I posted in an earlier thread, I lost my HE army on the tram, and find myself rebuilding from what I have left. Going for a shooting-heavy army as that's what the elves are for me, wave after wave of arrows, supported by stalwart infantry blocks and fleet cavalry. How do you find this, /aos/?
Prince w/ reaver bow, enchanted shield, starblade
Mage - x2? I have several available
5 Ellyrian Reavers x 2
2 Repeater bolt throwers
2x 10 Sea guard
10 swordmasters
Anointed on flamespyre phoenix
I can also add another bolt thrower, more swordmasters, a griffon prince and more princes.
>>44254124
Damn, that sucks bro. I lost a metal blister I had just bought once when I lost my book bag. Can't imagine how it felt for you
So I got around to working on my Forgesworn Eternals again. This time I figured out what I wanted to do with the Prosecutors. So here they are. I did a few things in their conversion:
>Removed ribbons that held them up. Was never a fan of the loosely hanging ribbons
>Replaced the hammer heads with dwarven axe heads from the Longbeards kit
>Shortened the wingspans, but beefed them up with some spare shields and axe heads.
>Put dragon head thing on backs, to act as secondary thrusters.
>Replaced heads with Irondrake heads, and stuck axe heads on their crests for aesthetic.
>>44257855
Shortening the wingspan I am especially proud of. It reduces their footprint out of the COMPLETELY UNWIELDY zone and into 'workable' while still keeping the angelic winged look. Doing so though removed the little parts that fit into the back, so I just pinned them on instead. Having a smaller wingspan also makes them a bit easier to transport.
I am working on the sixth and final prosecutor, but I am waiting on the axe head bits for his hand weapons to come in the mail. These are all made from just the starter set prosecutors.
>>44248935
Eh, looking over Tamurkhan again recently showed me how nice Fantasy's lore could be.
Game wise I can't really say because I've played neither and they both have mechanics I'd probably call interesting. Fantasy had an army infrastructure in place, but said infrastructure also made it a pain in the ass to get in to.
>>44257855
>>44257917
i like the axes instead of hammer, they look like they can really fly
>>44257917
>>44257855
Nice work dude.
need some help on making a conversion.
Basically, between the TK Guards and necropolis Knights, which have the tallest shields? Or are they both equal in dimensions?
>This squadron of Gyrocopters (and a Gyrobomber) are known as the Aleseekers, a flotilla of skyborne scouts who range far ahead of the armies of the Lord of Ale, a duardin king who craves the lost treasures of his race. The thudding echo of the Aleseekers’ rotor blades has thundered across the skies of the Mortal Realms for generations as steadfast pilots seek that which their ancestors so bitterly lost. Though a single quest guides them, the armies of the Lord of Ale often put aside their goal for long enough to do battle against the legions of the Dark Gods and other servants of evil. Then, like wrathful heroes, the Aleseekers descend from above, blasting the enemy with bomb, gun and steam cannon in their righteous fury.
King of Ale?
Aleseekers?
I know AoS is a bit zany in the naming department but this is just too much. I am already indifferent to the Duadrin/Dwarfs, this might cause me to ignore Duadrin releases out of principle.
I hope whoever writes the Aelf stuff has some naming sense.
>>44257855
>>44257917
Those are some nice fucking Assault Marines right there.
>>44264534
nice troll complement. especially considering they dont even look close to assault marines, but hey, sigmarines are space marines, that's the overused joke anyway, so it must be funny, i guess
>>44264826
I think he means the Blood Angel "assault marines". The sangy guard or something, You know, the ones with the deathmasks and wings.
>>44264862
then he should have said sanguinary guard. because sanguinary guard arent assault marines
it doesnt matter because either way it wasnt funny
>>44264826
>>44264862
>>44264869
Honestly though, they're assault marines or "sanguinary guards" by any other name.
>>44251132

>>44265837
Where is it in the electronic editions - I have those but not the paper one and can't find it
>>44266337
Flag's got a mortal wound blast, and the teleport+mortal wound ability. He's fairly useful, even if ugly as sin.
>>44266354
In fact there isn't one
It's xmas so this edition was mostly done 3 months ago no new releases section
>>44266369
Would a knight azyros be better? Certainly looks better
>>44266261
>they're both pretty ugly models
What?
I can get that if you just plain don't dig Stormcasts, but otherwise I don't see it.
>>44266428
No, his teleport ability is more limited, and he's only got one mortal wound generator to the flag's two.
>>44266473
I'm tempted to try and make the Flag dude into holding a paladin hammer with a hammerdude head and putting the flag itself on his back
>>44266661
All you really need to do is separate him from the rank and file a bit. His abilities aren't really linked to the flag at all.
Like, a retributor body with a liberator's 1h-hammer would technically be enough to mark him out as a hero.
>>44267343

Why do all divine regnants use gold so much?

Thanks m8
>>44268470
To show their power.
>>44268470
Gold does not tarnish - silver crowns would especially on sweaty heads and might cause a reaction
Therefore the same crown can be passed down through the generations - the crown is the symbol of legitimacy and continuity
>>44268238
>And risk being sued by Marvel?
Marvel didn't make Odin.
Also now that I've mentioned the parallel, I guess Nagash is the Freyja of AoS.
> Why do all divine regnants use gold so much?
"Because gold is given to those in first place, every lesser colour is relegated to contestants who cannot keep up because of how much xeno cock they suck."

/tg/ - broville of the internet
When I was in work earlier, I got to thinking how I am going to paint my Dwarf Longbeards when I assemble them, since in my paint scheme, the holds professional standing Army, and ONLY the standing army (So Ironbreaker,s and most probably hammerers), have blue armour.
Since I figured longbeards would be more like an experienced militia than professional soldiers, I didn't know how to paint them without them looking way to different to the rest. Then it hit me.
I shall mould them after a bad joke. Their armour shall consist of the most vibrant gold in the hold. They shall literally be the Golden Oldies.
>>44272293
Awesome. Love it.
In case you weren't aware too, Duncan did a painting video on beards, and used a longbeard model.
https://youtu.be/Z7GuGbc0K7o
>>44268096
Very nice. Can anyone convert this to pdf? My ebook reader looks like ass and sucks at making into pdf. The pages come out with like 10 words each with a supermassive font size, so a single converted document can be around a thousand pages
My FLGS has Isle of Blood for real cheap /tg/
Should I pick it up?
>>44274563
Yes. It's a great deal for minis. But only do it if you're either interested in playing skaven our high elves, obviously
>>44274563
And don't forget to pick up the island of blood warscroll compendium on the gw site
>>44267343
Actually now that I look at my Paladins, the Vexillor is literally the exact same model as one of the spear Paladins who is raising his weapon vertically. Disappointing.
Knight venator looks pretty cool though

>>44242957
Just played my first game pitting my Stormcast Eternals against my friend's Chaos Undivided group.
I was basically running the starter box of Eternal's minus the Lord Celestant and adding the Knight Heraldor.
My friend was running the Blood Warriors, Bloodsecrator and Bloodreavers from the box, but added on Gutrot Spume and a Skaven Grey Seer.
Gutrot is a nasty motherfucker and mulched most everything I sent at him.
Ended up drawing because my buddy wanted to play to the man and I said I wasn't going anywhere near Gutrot and was gonna keep throwing hammers at him with my Prosecutors 'til he went away.
>>44275686
nice. sounds like you guys had a fun game. keep at it. Play the battleplan scenarios. theres a compilation pdf in OP's pastebin, they make the game more interesting than pitch battles, which get boring
>>44275814
Yeah, I'm not much of a fan of pitch battles, myself.
We're gonna be getting together and getting a table made properly with terrain to have more interesting games.
At the moment only one of our group has a painted army, so we're still building.
>>44270425
On mega already, epub version.
>>44275686
>Gutrot Spume
The toughest hero in AoS, his tentacle is nasty in melee, so the best to kill him is shooting, with mortal wound.
>>44264116
Necropolis knights
>>44276221
>The toughest hero in AoS
That explains a lot.
Well I've got the Blood Tide of Khorne and Skarbrand boxes today, so hopefully those nasties can cut him up.
Will be getting the Stormcast Eternal expansion, as well, and will likely kit out my Paladin's specifically for handling him.
>>44276336
>will likely kit out my Paladin's
Actually scratch that, I'm gonna get a Knight Venator. His sniping is just the kind of thing that would put paid to Gutrot's shenanigans.
>>44276408
also you left out the lord-celestant on dracoth from your list. that is probably the best mini to really put a dent in gutrot besides a unit of retributors
>>44276804
Yeah, he's the only model I have yet to assemble. The Lord Relictor, Knight Heraldor and Lord Celestant will all be getting painted before final assembly to ensure many of their details are done before being covered by other bits.
I'm putting together a Skaven army and I"m going to paint their armor pink ala Emperor's Children.
Thoughts? I've already bought the paint and I'm fairly excited about the color scheme.
>>44277715
that might actually be cool. post pictures when you get some done.

Really doesn't fit, for my money. Those heads are too obviously sci-fi.
>>44279805
Why would you use tau helmets?
Their visors look out of place, if you want an fully enclosed and almost featureless helmet you may want to try with the empire cavalry or the warriors of chaos (once you remove the horns) or even forge world old marks of space marines helmets

What the hell is that?
>>44268167
He already had the beard.
Jon Sullivan's artworks are totally wrong.
>>44280466
You either had a lot of flame cannons, or an engineer and a bunch of lucky rolls to take out his 20 wounds in two turns like holy shit.
Not surprised about the Slayers at all though, they are scary to fight. Even when you win, you lose.
>>44275315
Where did you find this?
>>44280538
Also Sullivan's Ghal Maraz looks really bad.
>>44280604
Also, holy shit I just looked up the rules for the new Archaon model and he can learn spells from wizards he kills, and cast 2 spells per turn. That sounds like horrible to play against if you are a magic, or summoning based army.
>>44251016
You're a fucking prick.
>>44250844
Good job dude, they're fantastic models. Well, I'd recommend maybe another box of Blightkings, than a Lord of Plagues. After that, since the Rotbringers don't have a large range yet, I'd recommend going for Chaos Daemons. Plague Bearers, Great Unclean Ones, and Nurglings are all fantastic models too, with great rules. GUOs are one of the hardest things in AoS to kill.
Or, you can go with Tamurkhan's horde from FW, which gives you access to amazing things like Bile Trolls and Plague Ogres.
Have fun and keep us posted!
>>44280604
Three Flame Cannons and an Engineer.
Full army lists were
>10 slayers
>1 dragon slayer
>3 flame canons
>Engineer
>Archaon
>3 Varangard
>15 Gors
>1 Bray Shaman
I went full tilt and douse Archaon in flames, while the Slayers and Dragon slayer marched like fuck up the board.
It was a basic "Hold the middle three objectives" game idea and he pretty much lost all his momentum when he Lost Archaon to the fire damage and then the varangard to the slayers.
His Gors and Bray Shaman spent most of their time trying to contest objectives as far away from the Slayers as possible because I lucked out and basically had

*Basically had a full unit left.
>>44280701
>>44280728
>Slayers
>Led by a slayer
>Supported by war machines so dangerous that operating them is basically a suicide mission
I like it. Now all you need is a converted grudge thrower that throws slayers, and say instead of killing people with a rock, the flung slayer kills what he can before being cut down by the surrounding foes.

>>44280650
And he had an armour. He had an armour similar to >>44280538 during Heldenhammer, then he became Emperor and King Kurgan Ironbeard gave him a complete (and badass) armour while Alaric the Mad gave him the crown.
I hate what Jon Sullivan made for Sigmar because he had it all wrong.

Are Slayers the best thing to ever come out of GW? Every time I see their models I can't help but chuckle because of how ridiculous the concept of an angry, suicidal Dwarf that is to stubborn to lose is.
>>44280876
Pretty much.
It's the Grim Comedy of them that makes them so endearing, I hope Fyrslayers have as much character.
>>44280857
>AoS haters complain about Sigmar having beard and armour, but he always had them.
Not quite.
>>44280857
>>44281410
>>44280021
Because those are the only spare bits I have. Also, because I really love the idea of making subtle references between Warhammer universes (Like strapping Kroot blades to Lizardmen, or dwarf weapons to Space Marines)
I thought of trying with different types of SM helmets, but it's way too bulky to seem "natural".
(For some reason, I really hate Sigmarine heads. I can't even fucking tell why.)
>>44280992
I was super butthurt in 8th that slayers were shit except when extremely lucky. Now they're viable and even have a save. I'm finishing up painting my Dispossessed Clan Throng then it's on to all my slayers that have been neglected.
I've got Ungrim, Garagrim, the special edition Daemon Slayer, 4 Doomseekers and a buttload of normal slayers including command figs.

>There was a throb in her temple, a flex in the penumbral skein, and a section of the boundary wall appeared to turn semi-molten and bulge as though pushed at from the other side. A wave of starlight breached the weakened barrier and a hulking saurian warrior, clad in bone and silver plate and wielding a feathered spear, stepped through.
>The wall sealed seamlessly behind it in a snap of interlocking brass. At the same moment, a cold-blooded consciousness pressed its way into hers. There were no words, just pictures and sensations, a string of hieroglyphs etched in brilliant, brilliant pain into her mind. She saw searing light, tiered ziggurats of gold peopled by feathered priests, their servants, and their warrior cohorts. She felt isolation. Abandonment. Silent suffering. A final icon appeared. Two symbols, one of sun, one of moon, that she intuitively put together into a name.
>Eclipse.
Just read the new novel. As predicted it offered no answers. However, (see above) The Slaaneshi warband stumbled upon an emo Lizardman and his Sarus warriors. He was felling grief at being abandoned it for whatever reason.
>>44281543
New short story*
The Lizardman was pale skinned and wore sliver armor. His name was/is eclipse. Beautiful name, eh?
>>44279805
terrible tbqh famila
>The saurus came on with an overhead sweep intended to turn her into paste. She angled her blade across her shoulder and knocked the blow aside, creating the space to land a blow of her own. Her free hand made a lurid series of gestures as she punched the saurus’ armoured gut.
>The aethyr blast erupted against Eclipse’s belly, lifted him off the ground and hurled him back. He smashed into the Astrosanct, the ancient apparatus buckling under his enormous mass and pinning him in place. Eclipse gave a roar of frustration, and the other saurus echoed it. Throwing caution aside, they hurled themselves at the remaining Seekers with an uncaring, empty fury.
Ninja hand gestures?! I told you guys GW went full ANIME!
>>44281543
> tiered ziggurats of gold peopled by feathered priests
>no answers
I won't spoil it for you, but I promise you we've been given an answer right there.
>>44281608
Spoil away. These were just images she got from Eclipse's mind. You think they are something else?
>>44281636
I think GW just tipped their hand for their long term plans for AoS.
>>44279805
Get on 1d4chan and look up the forgesworn eternals
>>44280640
I had to Google it for the link because I couldn't find on the gw site the direct link for it. I just knew they had it
>>44281686
What do you mean?
>>44281570
>Beautiful name, eh?
eh...the translations of the chotecah sound stupid
Cha'huantec rolls out the forked tongue better, especially for saurus with no lips to pronounce well bilabial sounds
>>44268690

GW also didn't make the term space marines, didn't stop them from suing smaller companies.
>>44281607
>Saurus warrior named Eclipse

I am not fucking okay with this.
>>44285095
Equlepzu
I was thinking about getting into AoS with the Seraphon. Are they ok to make your first army? I play Nids in 40k and I have been told they are similar.
>>44285095
To be fair, that's just a name the gal makes out basing on the concept behind the identifying glyph for the saurus, not necessarily its actual name, phonetically speaking, which could be, for example, what this guy proposed >>44283446
>>44285605
They play more like chaos daemons than anything, but with lawful good alignment rather than chaotic evil
Anyone know where I can find some third party beastman heads, preferably in bulk? I'd like some variety among my muder-rape furries.
>>44290716
Vic minis?
>>44290716
Or maybe some maxmini werewolf heads? Quite the bestial fellows.
>>44291146
>>44291245
Not bad. I was hoping for something like generic lion and wolf animal heads to match the goat-ish heads, but I might consider those if I can't find any others.
I'm surprised there's no furry 28mm heads around, really.
>>44291306
More werewolf heads.
>>44291306
Are you wanting the pretty furry bullshit? Because I'm pretty sure you're only going to find the ugly bestial chaos type heads, and rightly so.
>Building clanrats
>For some fuckin reason, missing the final arm

Maybe not if you, you know, actually replaced them with something less ugly as opposed to something more ugly

Why was Eclipse? Who abandoned him?
>>44295168
call 'em skryrie clanrats and you are golden
>>44295813
It could be referring to the isolation caused by the departure of the old ones.
Assuming that the departure of the slann in the end times didn't cause much of an isolation since they died shortly after.
If true, this saurus is pretty fucking old.

>Lizardmen Sarrus with emotions
YOU HAD ONE JOB, GW.
ONE JOB
>>44298073
Those are Slaanesh's emotions. Interpreted by a Lizardman.
And Slaanesh is being guarded by the Emprah's Custodians.
>>44298090
It's the opposite.
The Slaaneshi girl was feeling the emotions of lizardmen.
She even taunts him by saying something to the effect "It hurts to be abandoned, doesn't it?".
>>44298105
>two symbols, one of sun, one of moon, that she intuitively put together into a name. Eclipse.
I feel it's a doublebluff.
I don't think those were the lizardmen's feeling that were being explored there.
Of course, I also thought that when they announced Michael Jackson was dead that it was just a marketing ploy so he could start his tour with the greatest performance of Thriller ever.
>>44298153
Makes more sense than lizards feeling emotions.
>>44298073
>>44298105
Well, demons are manifestations of the warp, which pretty much means they're made up of emotions, right? Now that lizardmen are basically demons, maybe it's the same for them? I dunno, it sounds like bullshit but it's the only theory I got. Other than GW just fucking up again.
>>44298073
it's not something actually new, being the lost children of the old ones has always been part of the culture of the lizardmen, emphasys on lost.
here we simply see a slaaneshi sensing the lizard being conscious of this abandonement and believing it is comparable to her angsty feelings for the disappearance of slaanesh.
it doesn't mean the lizard is conscious of the abandonment with resentment rather than cold aknowledgment and a bit of grief for their maybe dead godly masters.
>>44298357
not all magical entities have the same nature of chaos daemons.
>>44298545
The Slann should be the ones manifesting emotions. The Sarus has no business having emotions.
>>44298561
In Oldhammer (Ur-hammer?) they were cold-blooded and slow to react to psychology, not immune to psychology. They could still feel fear, and still feel despair (causing them to flee). Also:
>Although his temple-city was in ruins, Kroq-Gar and the surviving army fought their way out, buoyed by their own rage and the last blessings of their Mage-Priests.
>by their own rage
Saurus have emotions.
>>44298561
the saurus are manifestations of the slann now, though.
but I'd argue about living saurus being able to have simple emotions too: an emotion is just the result of the rationalization of information and the situation at hand that suggests an action, nothing the lizard are incapable of doing; being dominated by these emotions, letting them override determination and purpose, feeding daemons, is another thing entirely and we've never seen it being applied to the lizards in relevant ways, anyway.
>>44293809
I want some generic, savage looking animal heads that aren't all goats.
Don't get me wrong, I love goat-men, but it just boggles my mind that nobody makes 28mm beastman heads in anything but goat or hairy man flavor.
At this rate, I'm thinking of buying some of the random animal-folk minis I found, cutting the heads off, and casting more. Can't be too hard, right?
>>44299410
In the head-cutting respect, Iron Wind Metals carries lots of single-piece beastmen with unique heads.

Those aren't bad at all. Thanks, Anon.
I might not even recast them and just toss some rabbits, hawks, and dogs into the ranks.
Holy hell I'm digging the lore for AoS. The idea that all the old armies are just war bands in a final stand against Chaos in a world broken beyond repair.
What edition is this?
What does it come with?
What should I pay for it? (Guy payed 120 CAD retail 10 years ago)
>>44302589
My first inclination was that was battle for blackfire pass, but it doesnt look like it. i think this predates me getting into whfb
>>44302666
Theres also a guy selling this for 45 CAD which is a fucking steel including a wood elf king. I want dem orks/goblins though.
You know whats in this?
>>44302687
Don't recognize that either.
>>44302589
6th Edition Starter Box Empire vs OG
>>44302687
5th Edition Starter Box Bretonians vs Lizardmen
>>44302589
Oh hey I remember that. That was my first starter set, from 6th Edition.
I don't remember the exact number of all the contents, but I know it has Empire Spearmen, Handgunners, Captain on a Horse, Cannon/Mortar kit, and an Orc on a Boar, Orc arches, orcs with two hand weapons and an Orc Chariot and a cardboard building.
Most of it was fixed position stuff. I wouldn't pay all that much for it.
Also had basic gaming stuff like templates and measuring sticks.
You can easily see everything in it by googling
I've been reading over a lot of the fluff for AOS lately. I've noticed that the Beastmen have been mentioned as an opponent of the chaos forces seemingly as often as any of the other forces.
I always wanted them to be more a force representative of the unbridled violence of nature, more than just Chaos cannon fodder. Sort of a cross between Sylvaneth and Orruks, an opposed force to civilization and progress.
In the old fluff I've read they once were the dominant faction in the Old World's woodlands, having a sort of loose confederation of sorts. Then with the coming of Dwarves, Elves and eventually men, they went into decline. They are forever incensed of this encroachment into the natural world and constantly strive to tear down civilizations and return the world to a state of primitive barbarism where might makes right and only the fit survive the wilds. I guess Chaos happened at some point? They are also described as the true children of Chaos so who knows. Maybe that description was at one point representative of true chaos of the natural kind instead of the actual Chaos Gods themselves.
Perhaps with the shattering of the world that was, large numbers of Beastmen now operate independently of Chaos' influence. Just a bunch of angry furries trying to ruin everybody else's shit lol. For now, I think that's how I'll imagine them.
>>44303501
>I've been reading over a lot of the fluff for AOS lately. I've noticed that the Beastmen have been mentioned as an opponent of the chaos forces seemingly as often as any of the other forces.
You mean like every Chaos force out there in the Realms? It's not something unique to the beastmen. Chaos infights a lot. They did it for the majority of the Age of Chaos. I think some anons in their stupidity are just blind to this. They see something they like in Chaos and then they want to remove it from Chaos. Fuckers.
>They are also described as the true children of Chaos so who knows. Maybe that description was at one point representative of true chaos of the natural kind instead of the actual Chaos Gods themselves.
They are children of Chaos because they wholly belong to Chaos. Unlike humans who have to pledge their souls and surrender their freewill to Chaos, the Beastmen have no freewill in what they do. From the day they are born their souls belong to Chaos. They are compelled to serve the Chaos Gods by instinct. They can be nothing else.
All of this is described in clear detail in the Beastmen army rulebooks where it's shown they hate human worshippers of Chaos out of jealously and bitterness because the Beastmen whom souls already belong to Chaos are ignored by the gods.
Seriously, just stop.

Please understand that the more you buy second hand from Ebay the more you are killing this hobby and is the primary reason that Age of Sigmar happened in the first place (ie no one was fucking playing/buying fantasy battles.)
I can't tell you what to do nor enforce you to do it, but for the love of the hobby please don't buy second hand unless you absolutely have to.
>>44303501
The first battle in Quest For Ghal Maraz has cooper-skinned beastman in Chamon. If it's literal it could mean that the beastmen might mean that they get realm-themed units.
>>44303896
But Age of Sigmar is the best thing to happen to warhammer fantasy. Sorry, but I encourage buying second hand.
Chinese recasters are another story, however.
>>44304075
>If it's literal it could mean that the beastmen might mean that they get realm-themed units.
If anything it only means you paint them in a different color. The rules will still be universal.
>>44303651
No need to be a dick about it. I'm not a chaosfag so I don't already know all their lore. I continued to read about them, and you are in fact correct.
So I will revise what I have said. While acknowledging what the Beastmen fluff actually says about their origin and nature, the idea of a force dedicated to the return of the world to its natural and feral state appeals to me. Though the Sylvaneth do represent the natural world and the seasons and such, I don't really see them as opposed to civilization as an ideal or concept. They're goody fufu nature.
The Beastmen directly oppose civilization, despite not being natural themselves, and seek to return mankind to a primitive state where they are forced to fend for themselves as a part of the natural world and reenter the food chain. I like that aspect of them whether "cause Chaos" or not. And I would like to see them play a larger role in the goings on of the AOS storyscape than as speed bumps for other factions as they move towards "real threats".
>>44304158
>I don't really see them as opposed to civilization as an ideal or concept. They're goody fufu nature.
Doesn't know shit confirmed.
>>44303896
I bought second hand from eBay because Island of Blood is discontinued and I wanted a Skaven army
>>44304182
I know the Sylvaneth in Loren were butthurt and didn't allow encroachment into their realm til the Asrai showed up, but they didn't actively seek the downfall of all civilization the way Beastmen do. Prove me wrong instead of just being a douchebag.

What you proposed in your original post is amputating the Beastmen faction from the Chaos Gods and making them a neutral faction. You wanted to make them your little furry snowflake faction. Which is disgusting.
It's one thing to demand more Beastmen lore but another to shit on their lore. Please stop from doing so in the future.
Try going through the 7th ED Beastmen army book.

>>44305144
You say that now, but just wait until fantasy is removed all together as opposed to attempting to reboot it.
>>44305144
neither are T-rexes, it doesn't mean chickens are better or that the mass exctintion of 65 millions years ago was the best thing to happen to dinosaurs.
>>44304608
No need to be so sensitive about it man. It's a game. And I'm reading the book now.
I guess what I mean is that I like the whole "fuck civilization" aspect of them irregardless of their association with Chaos. I don't want them to be separated from Chaos necessarily, it's just that that part of their lore isn't what attracts me to them as an army.
>>44305144
>>44305460
Both valid points
>>44303896
I want snap fits/one piece models because I drop my models a lot and I hate having to reglue them.
>>44305460
Holy shit you picked the worst analogy. THAT was the best you could think of?!
Chickens are better than dinosaurs because we can eat the chickens. Extinction of the dinosaurs was the best thing to ever happen because it gave rise to the age of man.
So by your analogy we would be better off without delicious chicken and an age without sentient man where these kinds of games wouldnt even exist?
You really only proved my case. Admittedly though it's not much of a case of anything for either of us, because it's all a battle of opinions.
>>44305446
You say that now, but just wait until it doesn't.

>Start collecting!
>That soon after christmas
>>44307781
Maybe they think some people take on a new project for the new year. It happens in other hobbies.
>>44307743
New factions names!
Malignants: I pretty much I assumed these guys would be called Nighthaunts.
Greenskinz: Much better faction name than Orcs&Goblins...
>>44307743
>Skitarii
>Tech Priest Dominus
what, I get that Skitarii have no HQ but you could at least give them Ruststalkers
>>44307946
Except the Greenskinz are just an Orruk Clan. The other 2 orruk clans are Bonesplittaz (savage orcs), and Ironjawz (Black orcs).
For the Grots it's Gitmob (regular goblins), Moonclan (night goblins), and Spiderfang (forest goblins)
I would imagine eventually each clan gets their own 'start collecting!' box set. It makes sense these could come after christmas because a lot of hobbyists have a bunch of christmas cash from parents/grandparents to spend on thigs. I generally do. Most people don't feel comfortable buying stuff for my hobbies, so I just get cash.
>>44303896
Good. Let the abomination die. Haven't bought anything from GW since June and I've spent over $1000 on ebay/chinaman
Never bought recasts before that, spent like twice the amount of that on GW/Independent stockists a year beforehand, never doing the same mistake again
>>44305144
>Old hammer isn't coming back.
this is sadly true. however, AoS is already dead
>>44307727
>>44307743
Welp, if these are true, these are actually pretty good deals, and GW is giving us the old school box sets.
The Greenskinz one values at $118 USD, and they're selling for $85. That's actually pretty good.
>>44308253
And they're going to come with round bases instead of squares, no less. So you can count that value in there if you want.
>>44308253
some of them are even more crazy actually. for instance, just the carnosaur is $85 in the lizardmen box, you get the saurus + coc for free
>>44308274
yeah, count the cost of square bases into the price too, as you will have to buy them to replace the inferior round bases
>>44308313
Yeah that's pretty sweet. I would have only expected them to do maybe a couple of the finecast heroes or something, but the carnosaur is a steal of a deal.
>>44308313
>you get the saurus for free
Cold one knights and basic saurus are both kind of shit though. Former because of the models, latter because of the rules.
