/skaven/
>>46020421
That's pretty good, especially for a Start Collecting box battalion. I can't wait for Skyre and Eshin to get new stuff.
>>46022663
Is it?
I've never played Warhammer.
I've played Malifaux though.
I've been playing Vermintide a lot and have really gotten into the feel for the fantasy wargaming. Also, they miniatures look badass.
Is this a good starting point? $85 seems like a lot, but it seems to come with a lot of mini's. Also, the Skaven look awesome.
Is this a balanced battalion?
So is the Empire dead?
I mean, I really hope they are, so they don't have to suffer the indignity of sucking Stormcast dick for the rest of time.
>>46022797
All of the Start Collecting boxes are really great. They come with enough stuff to make games feel big enough that interesting combinations of units can form, but small enough to be painted and played in a fairly short amount of time. There's enough synergy between units that the Pestilents box seems to be pretty effective. Pull some of the rule books from the OP and flip through them for a feel for the game's setting and rules.
>>46022928
Cheers.

>3 2+ Instant kill on 1w model...
>And d3 mortal wound after combat...
Jeezus, these rules are making the Stardrake more likable for me. The Templar's bow sounds useful for picking off those troublesome models that buff enemy units while his list of weapons seem useful for a given situation.
>6 attacks with a Tempest Axe with a range of 2"
>3 attacks with a Stormlance with a range of 3"
For when you really need to reach that annoying ass buffer and the Inspiration's 1+ to bravery couldn't hurt
As for the Celestant, the Stormbound Blade sounds troublesome with the 4+ to hit, but that chance for the 6 and making 3 more wound rolls sounds devastating, while the hammer sounds like the more reliable to rack in hits. The Shield is definitely a help if it lets you wound dudes trying to bog the drake down nearby on a 3". Plus that charge as well, D3 extra attacks could make a big difference.
The Drake is no pushover as well, Able to delete 3 models right off the bat can be useful if done right and a D3 wounds after combat can help take out any remaining guys. The Lord of the Heavens thing sounds like the most troublesome though. The breath weapon would be the hardest to get each turn and the rain can fall flat when your stuck with a 1 on how many to hit.
The Celestant's Command ability sounds really good since Dracoths already have a strong attack with their claws. Though this 'is' considering if you even have a unit riding Dracoths to begin with. Though for the Stardrake itself it could come in handy.
Well, I guess all that's left is to sell a kidney to even afford a Stardrake and to acquire someloaded dice to maximize fully on rolls.

And people will justify the pricing
>>46025920
Star Drake is cool, unlike WHFB models.
>>46024021
wait does this have 9 or 10 bravery
>>46022797
Its is. Most units are viable in Aos and games tend to be rpetty balanced.
You can either go full fluff or stick with the same faction- keep in mind models with the same faction tend to have a LOT of sinergy with each other. start collecting box is awesome, you add 10/20 basic infantry and a single elite unit and you already have a good army. Wich means 85+30+40 usually wich is 150 and for warhammer standards(300-500 bucks)is pretty neato.
>>46026689
"cool"
Except the ridiculously small derphead, those badly sculpted front legs (hands? what are those even?), and the wings I do not even have words for.
>>46028261
GW has produced some historically awful kits within this new system. The clone army sigmarines, overdesigned varanguards, mirrored CAD-dorfs, monopose catdragon cavalry, and now this poor drake abomination.
Frankly the boring khorne release now look pretty good compared to the other Age of Sigmar stuff. Maybe that was the plan all along, bloodsecrators for the blood god!
>>46019925
Aw yiss.
>>46028888
Khorne quads claimed.
Khorne officially confirmed BTFO by GHR.
>>46028261
People will actually defend this piece of shit? At that horribly inflated price no less?
>>46028299
I think the new Archaon is the worst of the lot, if only because it is perfectly emblematic of everything wrong with Age of Sigmar.
>>46029035
The fact that without defined scale and scope and context, non'a dis mattuhs?

It was destroyed during the End Times
I assume that they will rebrand and repackage the old Empire models like they did with Lizardmen. Doesn't make any sense to squat such a huge range of models.
Then again it didn't make any sense to squat TK...

New Archaon was voted as the best model of 2015.
It got 62% of the votes. An crushing victory.
You guys just have bad taste.

Minority do not equal to bad taste, the new Archaon is cool, but my vote for Bloodthirster.

>stop not liking what I like
>>46032816
>white dwarf
Well that explains it. The only people who can still stomach that walking corpse dressed in advertisement are people who would lick the shit from their local redshirt's asshole for 80 dollars.
>>46032816
Well that invalidates it right there, people who are still buying WD at this point cannot be trusted.
The new Archaon is still an insult to the old one. Literally everything single thing about it is worse except how big it is and how much money GW makes when idiots buy them.
>>46032845
>>46032869
It actually contains fluff, rules, and painting and building guides and stuff, but please do go on repeating what the internet told you about it just being advertising pictures of the models.
>>46032984
You really never read white dwarf pre 2012 did you.
>>46032816
>people could email
>>46032869
>still buying WD
You can email without buying WD,and all WD weekly available in OP link too.The new Archaon is good, Bloodthirster is great, but the old Archaon just epic, no one can't resist Napoleon, right?
>>46032780
>celestant prime
The swirling thing just stupid, the kit is ok, but too expensive, I would rate it 5(0-10).
>>46033059
>is good
No, it isn't. Its got a horrible pose, has far too much unnecessary detail and is incompetently executed.
>>46033059
90% of the people who knew about it would be white dwarf readers.
>>46033036
Yeah, I did actually. I'm not saying it's as good as back then, it obviously isn't. But neither is it just adverts of the models like everybody claims, there is hobby stuff in there, so it can be worth a read if that week's releases are an army that you collect. The big difference is I don't bother with it when the contents are armies that don't interest me, while old WD was worth picking up anyway.
It's just boring seeing people repeat the same shit when they clearly haven't picked up a copy of the mag since it was relaunched.Warhammer Visions though, that I don't see the point of.
>>46032984
Literally the same shit in their store page and their youtube. Plus a few gimmes.
Some of us remember ACTUAL articles. Ones about creating things, real people playing games, and forging a narrative rather than a QVC catalog.
>>46033077
It fittingly looks like an amine statue or a Figma figure at a 400% price mark up.
>>46033077
>No, it isn't
You don't need to explain.
>>46033083
>white dwarf readersReader do not mean they need to pay for WD.
>>46033136
In issue 111 there is ONE PAGE that is not either advertisement or meaningless rambling or rules for the new product. There are no articles, nothing like standard bearer, or a battle report. There is ONE PAGE of actual content mixed with a bit of ad.
Compared to this the December 2007 issue, the one I just happened to pick up, it has 26 pages of ads for minis or books, 1 page of art, a 20 page long battle report, a 10 page long campaign rule set, a 3 page opinion piece, ANOTHER 6 mage campaign rule set, 5 pages of a painters gallery, 26 pages of golden demon entries, an 8 page ad painting guide hybrid for the bane blade, a 6 page modelling guide for terrain, a 7 page painting guide/ad hybrid for the high elf dragon, a page of art with a short story, and 10 pages of event information. Keep in mind the ads bookend the thing, and are easily skip able rather than being the hole damn thing.
Absolutely fuckoff.
>>46033366
white dwarf is the weekly advertisement
warhammer visions is the hobby/content monthly magazine
>>46033366
>Dismiss everything you don't like as "meaningless rambling"
>ONE PAGE GUIS
Great goalpost positioning, champ.
>>46033410
Picking up the nearest copy of visions lets fucking see. I have april 2014. 60 pages of the eavy metal imperial knights glamour shots, not a great start, 18 pages of glamour shots of some guys orks, okay step in the right direction, 50 pages of glamour shots of various minis after the fashion of the golden demon sections of old, 14 more pages of imperial knight wankery, 6 pages of blanchitsu, aka more pictures of models albeit very pretty converted ones, 16 pages of army glamour shots, oh shit more imperial knights 10 pages, OH SHIT CONTENT 4 pages of conversions and 4 pages of glamour shots of each, 18 more pages of imperial knight glamour shots, 10 pages of imperial knight painting guides, and the rest is store addresses.
I think I noticed a theme.

"this plastic boxed set contains two of these mighty warriors, a pair of Dracothian Guard riding into battle on huge, lightning-spitting Dracoths. As we’ve come to expect from the Stormcast Eternals, they’re clad head-to-foot in heavy sigmarite armour, their faces hidden behind impassive masks crowned with lightning bolts. Unlike other Stormcast warriors, however, the"
That's what I mean. The pages are all a picture of stormcast with half a page of that. It'snot content it's more advertisement. It's not talking about modelling or painting or gameplay or events in the lore it's just "STORMCAST COOL" which is essentially meaningless. At least warhammer visions accepts itself for what it is and just focuses on pretty pictures, hence the name.
>>46033633
Free rules for a unit that are needed to use the unit are not content. Rules for a campaign, or rules for a scenario are content.
>>46033672
Actually, Apocrypha articles take about events in lore or just dumps lore. Some of the AoS can only be traced to WDs.
The Fantasy thread is happily discussing Skaven and proxies while you guys argue over White Dwarf with your fingers in your ears like shitposters shitposting shitposters.
This is why people are being turned off from Age as quick as they come to it. Our community is turning toxic because you lot enter every conversation like its the fault of every other person that a Celestant-Prime was shoved up your ass sideways.
Well fuck White Dwarf and fuck Sigmarines, discuss Skaven. The one thing bringing people into this hobby via Vermintide rather than shoving them out via douchebaggery.
>>46033711
i much preferred it when gw were years out of date and didn't bother with stats outside of codexes
>>46033757
Do not mention fantasy in AoS please. It attracts them like flies and we get things like yesterday happening.
>>46033757
the funny thing is that the people shitting on AOS stopped playing fantasy years ago, noticed GW rebranded the game they stopped playing and got worked up into a frenzy over their nostalgia.
They'll stop giving a fuck about AOS after they rant for about a week.
>>46033757
The last WHFB thread and the one before was full of shitposting and complaining about 9th age. Please don't act like it's any better there.
Anyways, has the Clans Pestlins battletome been uploaded yet?If It's not, then I will upload it, for the glory of Swigmar!
>>46033774
It's all well and good publishing your rules for free as you come out with models, I have no issue with that except for the balance issues it would cause if this game has balance to begin with, but putting it in your weekly magazine and then calling it content simply isn't the case. It's a necessary part of the product they are selling that happens to be there. If it were rules for a campaign of sigmarines vs undead or hell even sigmarine formations it could be called content but as it is that simply isn't the case.

No, I was in many WHFB threads. I saw plenty of anons telling off the 9th agers and telling them to fuck off and make their own threads.
>>46033860
Just report shitposters and move on. Hopefully the mods/janitors do their job and we can be left with a clean discussion of the game.

>april 2014
>Lots of knights in it.
Isn't that the issue where they first released IK for the first time since epic?
>>46034598
It isn't that it's knights, it's that it's all glamour shots of their new product. No article about knight lore, no articles about anything really.
Warhammer visions is basically miniature porn monthly, but half those pictures tend to be actual players very nice models rather than JUST GW's most recent kits painted up by the in house painters, so it's not totally condemnable. Neo white dwarf however is basically just "this week's products weekly" and doesn't really have any value as anything but an ad.
Are there any runors, reliable or otherwise, about anymore skaven? I'm crossing my fingers for a moulder themed starting pack. Also, do the AoS boxes come with square bases? I assume sigmarines dont, but what about older boxes?
>>46034712
If you like your miniature porn (from the masses, not GW), GW's flickr page has some stuff uploaded to it quite often.
https://www.flickr.com/groups/gamesworkshop/pool/
Obviously it's just what people put up there, so there's some derpy stuff, but I quite like it for sometimes getting inspiration.
Pic related, just something that happened to be on page 1 at the moment.
How much hate dobson think would go down if someone started a "who would win" thread between a space marine and storm cast?
>>46034967
Most people are ignoring Stormcast and Age. Most 40kfags are on the side of Fantasy, and see Age as a supply of bits and a troubling sign for their game.
It would likely 404.

Please forgive my autism
>>46035031
A lot of the 40k players at my local GW are playing AOS. Fantasy was super unpopular there before I even started showing up, though.
How the fuck do I get the AoS App from downloading the scrolls with all the text mashed together?

They are in the process of rebasing everything with circles. Pretty much the only things with square bases still are kits they intend to discontinue.

soooo
i have been out of the fantasy loop for 2 years,
wtf ????? is happening
>>46033757
I plan on buying some Skaven for my Grand Alliance of Chaos. I was thinking of Eshin, to use as the Chaos Lord's personal assassins and counter-espionage. He keeps them in line by stealing their own Warpstone and ransoming it back to them, playing favorites and keeping them in-fighting with each other rather than conspiring to kill him in his sleep.
>>46028261
Honestly this is void dragon conversion fodder, nothing more, I like the idea of it but they picked the worst possible pose to freeze it in

Skaven are the worst part of warhammer. They should have been the ones to be squatted instead of the TK
>>46035802
Skaven are one of the few races that are completely of GW's design, as opposed to the mishmash of influences that went into most other races (including TK). There's no way they should be dropped.
>>46035836
Rats are fucking lame
>>46035715
in every fucking AoS thread theres someone who does this shit. Acts like they don't know what happened so they can get everyone foaming at the mouth to complain about AoS. Like 90% of these threads aren't already comprised of people stating how much they hate this game
>>46035921
They are shitposting, yes.
>>46035921
I've had more fun playing 40k and AoS than I ever did Fantasy, Warmachine or Infinity, but on the other hand I changed groups before playing it so that might have something to do with it.

Yeah, I assume its like a 70/30 split of people to game mechanics.
I do enjoy having My Dudesand not dealing with movement trays, reforming units , pivoting, that shitty fucking magic phase ruleset and people cheating about it. Granted that cancer has infected 40k psychic phase so i'm on the fence about that as well.
If you want to have good AoS threads then all you need to do it is stop responding to people who hate AoS. They will grow bored and stop posting.
I want to try and fix the stardragon, the wings don't bug me as much, reminds me of DnD Metta local dragons, but the posing needs work, also are horses just extinct now?
>>46036415
no they just havent done any releases for races with horses lately
skeletal horses still exist, and the varanguard are riding demonic horse things
once they do elves, empire, bretonnia (if they avoid being squatted) then you'll see horses again
>>46036558
Not that I'm against non horse mounts I just understand that there are many who think the eternals would look better on horses, I like the idea of the big pseudo dragons and proper dragons. I just wish they were posed better, or at least not monopose

The squatting hammer has not been dropped with such ferocity as it is now
Have they explained dwhy they are squatting the better undead faction?
Greetings /TG/
I'm looking to start reading the 40k novels over the coming few months, and I'd like to know if there's an order that's best to read them in. I checked the lex-wiki about it but was unable to find anything relevant.
Does anyone have a list of recommended books to start with? Or an appropriate order to read the novels in to get a better understanding of how things play out?
I appreciate any and all input and reference anyone can provide.
>>46037120
I would try the 40K thread for that one. I have been reading the Horus Heresy in order and it's worked well enough for me (except for the 1 in 3 books that are total duds). Haven't read much regular 40K fiction.
>>46035715

>>46035856
Rats are awesome.
But Chaos in general needs to fuck off.
>>46036731
The squatting continues
>>46037013
No.
Fans speculate low sales and old models.
Further speculation is since Vamps got better rules and more coverage when Undead split into VC and TK more people bought them which resulted in VC getting newer models and more attention, meaning GW caused TK to be less popular by neglect.
Nobody has a good answer for why very popular models like the Sphinxes that new new are being dropped though. Especially with Necron fans for conversions.
Seems GW gives no shits. Its all about the Stormcast, the rest are just there as metaphorical condiments to your Stormcast force.
>>46024021
>>46024050
Well, a bit light on the defense side, but not too shabby on the offense. Not that much of a character hunter, but pretty excellent at erasing units and cleaning up the hinterlands. Arcane Lineage is not exactly game changing, but the huge bubble means you can more often than not screw with Wizards.
>Templar
Both axe and hammer options seem fairly viable, lance seems kinda gimmicky when compared to that. Always bring a bow; even without Drakothian Guard its another straight-up Judicator shot and those are worth their weight in gold.
>Lord-Celestant
Hammer is slightly better, but not by much, surprisingly enough. If you feel like gambling a little, go with the blade and bet on Inescapable Vengance. Aslo, it's nice that the Sigmarite Thundeshield is explained here, since it was missing on the Celestant on Drakoth. Not huge, but a nice bit of fuck you, I like it.
Honestly, between the Command Ability, the bow and the Inspirational Lieutenant ability all being basically custom-made for this, I'm pretty tempted to expand my stormcast with a cavalry only army, maybe supported by a few Prosecutor units (assuming I'll ever find a use fur those knuckleheads besides collecting dust and being annoying to paint).
Something like this, maybe:
Lord-Celestant on Stardrake
Drakesworn Templar (axe & bow)
Lord-Celestant on Drakoth (tempestos hammer & shield)
4 Fulminators
4 Concussors [ugh, that name...]
3 Prosecutors (2 with hammer and shield; Prime with grandhammer)
3 Prosecutors (2 with hammer and shield; Prime with grandsword)
3 Prosecutors (2 with javelin and shield; Prime with trident and shield)
Then again, another 4 Drakothian guard are costly and the Stardrake model is very meh as of yet. Maybe if dwarfen salamader thing worked as a replacement...
>>46034883
5 of those Blood Knights costs $99. I'm serious.
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Vampire-Counts-Blood-Knights
That has to be one of the most over priced units in GW's range.
>>46034435
>Verminlord defeats a Slann
Wat?
>>46037814
Think they're squatting Brets because they think without KotR to convert people will have to buy those?
I wouldn't be shocked if they banned Black Knight conversions from counting in GW stores. Then again, in a game where you can pull from any army fielding BK doesn't matter much anymore.
>>46037634
Everything is viable as long as you just take it 20 times :^)
>>46037814
20 dollars for a guy on a horse of decent quality vs 33 dollars for a guy on an over designed sort-of-horse, or 40 dollars for a guy on a normal horse but he's 40 dollars because being the only model in a box someone increases value.
And there are cheaper better blood knights out there anyhow.

Does TTS actually let me play warhammer 40k/fantasy/AOS digitally vs other players?
>>46037814
Given he's converted them with dragon prince horses, they cost even more than that. Kind of reminds me of someone who made a 40-man block of har ganeth executioners out of finecast incubi.
>>46037522
so it's just comes down to unwitting creative favoritism and trying to push the Ground Marines for summer slam
>>46039318
Yeah.
Stormcast vs Chaos is Warhammer now.
All other factions are O&G. Side plots. Plot devices. Defined by which of the two main factions are in the story with them, lose importance and screentime when both are there.
Fuck, Sigmarines were in the land of the Steamhead and we didn't hear shit about them.
>>46039564

not really the case, m8
the bulk of RT details the setting separate from those factions, up to and including various flora and fauna. Including rules.

>>46039615
Orks are at least important as plot devices since any war that isn't Tyranid is them.
Everyone in Age is Eldar. Really unimportant.
Undead are Tau. Mostly unimportant, but get attention because they sell and are easy to make models for. So GW is shipteasing NagashxSigmar constantly.
>>46039670

Oh look its the 'anybody who does not like my shitty game did not play WHFB anyway' troll.
You should get a new nonsensical argument, that one is old.
>>46033861
You are an idiot as well, its perfectly possible for someone to dislike both AoS and 9th Age.
>>46039824
then what does that mean? that there are no good games left?
Funny how times change
>>46039863
AoS and 9th Age are not the only two fantasy games that exist.
This silly idea that you have to like either of them or you are just shilling helps nobody.
>>46039824
In the particular thread about which he was citing bitching about 9th, the only person doing so was an ardent AoS defender. I made no claims about universality.
>>46040278
To be fair, shortly after AOS came out there was a bit of a backlash against 9th as people were taking over the WHFB thread and kind of acting like the ONLY way to play fantasy from then was 9th, which got up some peoples' noses. It all seems to have calmed down now though.
>>46040278
Depends on which thread he means, I have been accused of being an 'AoS fanboy' because I think they have made stupid changes.

Anyone think the Kroot from 40k could fit in as an age of sigmar faction? obviously without any of the space tech and stuff, but I can see them being Order and Destructions answer to beastmen
>>46047512
Literally anything works in Age. Its a clusterfuck of nine "near infinite" planes plus the spaces in between of so much potential that maps are impossible.
>>46042132
No, High Elves were equal to Empire as heroes, Dwarfs got a lot more attention and were even a starter army once, and Vampires were the main villains after Chaos and featured in more campaigns.
Fantasy had MUCH more depth than 40k and Age.
>>46041561
Next book is Slaaneshi who worship Archaon vs Nef. More lore then, even if not Slaanesh himself.

They're supposed to be regular soldiers who live in and fight for Sigmaron. Theoretically not all of the wars are fought in Sigmar's name are fought with just Sigmarines, and Empire troops get their kicks in as well.
I hardly ever see them, though. Not even in places like miniwargaming. They just don't show up that much. Also I hear they and Bretonnia are getting folded together under the generic title "The Free Peoples."
>>46036084
>I do enjoy having My Dudes
Was there something about Fantasy that stopped you from having Your Dudes? And what about AoS gives you more freedom? 40k, I can understand--that shit's so jumbled you can make up pretty much anything and have a fluffy enough justification for it.
>>46047952
Don't see why not. The retreat mechanic allows you to keep pulling back and making additional charges, which helps cavalry armies.
GW has just made a facebook page for AoS and they are, wait for it, allowing user comments. This is something I have never seen before. The rules are don't post to any website other than GW and make sure to be nice etc, but they are letting us say things to them and letting other gamers see.
How long until one of us ruins it?
Also they seem to be having fun with it, there's a travel brochure thing like pic related, and also a flowchart of how to pick your monster that reads like it's for teens but still tryingto be funny instead of all grimdork all the time.
>>46051312
Also they misspelled Azyr as Azry on their own image, kek
>>46051312
you autists are gonna run over there and spam the usual garbage posts in there and when they close the comments will wonder why they did it

This guide is for monsters only, but it is a sign that they're heading away from heroes on horseback/cold-one etc, if the recent models hadn't convinced us of the trend already.

>quite useless
Are you joking? bad wording aside this is great, perfect for a larger game without spamming the same units or needing to own multiple furnaces like the other formations
That Foetid prayer is strong as fuck..
Plague monks already get -1 rend AND generate an additional mortal wound upon 6's to wound, now you're doing straight up 2 mortal wounds for every random 6.
Censer bearers and Verminlords put out massed attacks, this solves the Verminlords many attacks but no rend problem
The plagueclaw hardly benefits, but the priest isn't supposed to. He can stand back and safely cast it and hit everyone with it's huge range.
Put it Bless with filth from the furnace onto a huge mob of 30+ Monks and now you're rerolling to hit and wound and just wrecking house. not to mention it effects everyone which i can't believe. Definitely going to use this.

The one dropped is abyssal terror; dread abyssal is the wingless monster ridden by the 3 mortarchs.

Just returned from a game of Aos. I don't often because most of the week i work but I had a great time. Game was a revenge playing nurgle/pestilence against chaos demons. Got a lot of photos, might do a battle report if anyone's interested!
Long story short: plaguebearers are INSANE, literally nothing can take them, blight kings are awesome and plague monks are the most fragile glass cannon i ever saw.
Also, epidemus rules.
>>46057695
post some choice photos
>>46019604
What Empire State Troops are the most effective for what jobs out of Halberdiers, Swords, and Spears? Assume there are shields on all of them.
>>46057828
sure!
This was the battle field after we deployed.
Mission was "the monolith", when I have to slowly build a monolith rolling a d6 in each of my hero phases an reach 20 when my opponent has to desercate it by reaching it with one of his unit and rolling a 4(with -2 if having half miniatures than the opponent into 3" the monolith or a +2 if having 2 times the miniatures on it).
I deployed my forces around the monolith, with exception of the left side: there i fielded a monk unit-my class cannon-ready to flank the bloodletters; when my opponent fielded the chariot so trample them i deployed my loved plaguerebarers ready to shield them.
And oh boy, they DID shielded them.
Should I continue?
>>46058092
forgot pic!
>>46058092
>Should I continue?
Go for it. For Nurghoul.
First turn! Slaanesh starts and moves awufully fast. Instead of focusing on the monolith they foolishly take the bait and attack-on the left side the masque, the chariot AND the unit of seekers crash into the plaguebearers-and manages to kill only a few of them! Plaguebearers simply refuse to die. I got lucky, but doube roll save againt anything is insane. they barely scratch their opponent too-their strenght is in resilience, not attack.
On the other side the fiends of slaanesh headbutts into the blightkings, along with the second units of fiends. They hit hard and their combined attack kills 2 of them-but the counterattack is fierce, with the blightkings killing FOUR fiends and 2 wounds on a fiend!
The rest of the army footslog, aiming for the hated monument.
After a turn waiting, thanks for the dead plaguebearers the monks see an opening...
>>46051358
>>46051312
I'm going to be honest and say these made me smile. Particularly the flow chart. Could it be some real humour is being brought back and the teams are getting some free reign?
>>46058524
and attack! the monks are strong after a charge, getting a +1 attack, and they are dead meat if attacked first. Slaanesh took a big bait atatcking.
A plague priest chants a prayer for them, succeding and cursing the seekers, maijg them easier to wound.
All according to keikaku.
...even tho due to really BAD rolls they don't kill as many as intended. Oh well, they CAN endure a turn of attacking, right?
Also, has anyone else noticed this site has popped up recently? https://warhammerart.com/
>>46058430
Nerf plaguebearers.
>>46058673
they are really great at tarpiting units and camping on objectives-even tho they REALLY do shit damage and move really slow. Seriously, dameonettes can run AND charge, and fucking fiends move 14 PLUS run and charge with 3d6 dice. its crazy.
>>46058430
the duel between fiends and blightkings.
They can really kick anyones ass but damn, they are a lot less tough than i tought. They really need mystic shield to stand strong in combats.
The fight continues! on the right side the blightkings get another loss while the fiends stay strong, so they decide to run like coeards and make space for the monks to attack in their place, so the fiends wont run after them!
they clash and do some really nice damage, but they all forget the ONE seeker that survived last turn.
And this is really important...
>>46058969
again, forgot pic. goddamit.
All of this while Nurgle got 2 turns in a row!
Rolled the second 6 while building the monolith, so now only 7 remains...with a 6 next turn Nurgle will triumph!
But lets look at the other side of the arena.
After getting a few losses the plague monks decide to FLEE EN MASS. Very skaven like. I guess some things never changes....leaving only ONE brave monk in the unit. Stand and fight? HA! he decides to flee, leaving the plaguebearers to fight. He'll see another day, maybe...or block the enemy for one turn. Who knows?

>40k

lel. 40k is bad only when facing waacs, otherwise is an extremely fun game.
>>46059381
The problem with 40k is the setting and the fact the main character faction looks like giant toddlers in gridiron football gear.
last turns!
on the left the chariot and the survivors slowly(fast)run toward the monolith...
>>46059519
This is bait, right?
Aos is the same but even more focused in the same guys(they are called sigmarines for a fucking reason)...
In 40k lore-wise the SM are nearly not enough to protect the mankind, they are deployed only when the danger is really grave and numbers alone cant do shit.
If you talk about horus heresy, thats another thing entirely...
so..
is khorne still as shit as it was since 7th ed?
In the mewnahile, everyone forgot about Skiz-niz, the lonely plague monk.
I guess he'll survive another day.
(the little fella earned his name because this is the second time this shit happens. Way to go, skiz!)

Oh fuck no

NO NO NO NO NO

FUUUUUCCCKKKKKKKK
>>46059794
>>46059815
>>46059838
And thats how i lost.
The best part is: this was a revenge mission for another game with the same player-AND SHE FUCKING WON WITH ONE SINGLE SEEKERS THE SAME EXACT WAY-super sprint with one seeker, gets double turn, win.
Had a lot of fun anyway, game was really balanced and we used no point system-we just took turn fielding units. 10/10 would do this again.
(the drawings have been made just NOW for you, courtesy by the slaanesh player)
>>46059895
Nice. Maybe keep a unit back next time to block any gaps in your line?
>>46060027
My biggest mistake was not to kill the seeker with the monks, because really, i completely forgot about her.
One small mistake...
It was kinda a random finish but pretty epic, I had a lot of luck with dice rolls anyway so the game had been pretty tight.
Right now i a converting 10 savage orcs to nurgle, they will replace 10 plaguebearers to give me some anti-monster force and go more aggressive. Also ill add a plague wizard to summon the extra 'bearers when needed.
>>46056392
Ah, got it. So that may be a decent list of the monsters that are safe then.
>>46059599
Sigmarines are fucking terrible too.
Space Marines are terrible, and coming in small numbers in lore doesn't change that they are over half of the game.
Horus Heresy is terrible because its still the 40k setting, and 40k is terrible.
Now stop posting off-topic things about your shit game and get back to your containment threads.
