4 Heroes are

>Sigmar Priest
>Human Barbarian
>Dwarf Warrior

Bad guys are all Tzeentch, Screamers and Warriors and that.

It's going to be expensive and probably a black mark on the name of Warhammer Quest

Don't buy the main game, but buy any expansion packs to it that don't relate to the AoS setting.
>>
>>47129450

I posted in a thread last night, a good friend of mine has a full Warhammer Quest set of every official and unofficial mission set and models, and by models I mean every possible combination of monster you can get he has.

Level 1 - 3 Snotlings and 2 spiders.
or
Level 10 - 5 Bloodletters, 10 Chaos Dwarf Blunderbusses, 1 Great Unclean one, 1 Liche Lord,

I cannot fathom why they did not make this before AOS took over, in the Old World, they'd have made a goddamn fucking fortune.

Yeah I don't like the abstract baubles of reality colliding in the ether of time wierd fantasy setting of AoS at all. I wouldn't like it if it had nothing to do with Warhammer. The fact that they gutted and killed WFB and the Old World to make this pile of shit just adds insult to injury.

To be fair, Fyreslyers are the abortion of Slayers.

That's not fair at all, visually they are almost identical. In fact they are exactly the same in the one aspect that was being picked on, their nakedness.

>>47129981
The only people who play Warhammer are rich kids who don't have any money concerns. The proper way to exploit them is to encourage them to play 10,000 point Warhammer games. Having a game that would use a tiny number of models is senseless.

You are so wrong it hurts.

The only mini that hasn't been conplete trash is that new orc warboss, and even then he's only good to use as an easy base for mega armor conversions. He's more expensive than Ghazzy though, so I doubt he'll be more popular.

GW's new art direction has folks that don't understand the older aesthetic and equate it to EXTREEEEEEEEME.
These are the people directing graphics interns.
Yes, it is a problem.
No, "but you're just a grognard" is not a valid counterargument.

Nah, everything has been at least decent.

>>47134140

They're not even mirrored, they're symmetric, but not that symmetric.

>>visual vomit

A little busy with that scheme.

Almost all big kits are monopose, and the model is not deformed.

Lower jaws aren't great, but over all the models are good.

The only thing more extreme looking about the Fyreslayers is that they've got tattoos.

>>47134476
>They're not even mirrored, they're symmetric, but not that symmetric.

Adding a key to one hand doesn't mean it wasn't mirriored in CAD. It just means you knew that your dumbshit boss would notice if you didn't add -something- to make it less obvious that you spent a grand total of thirty minutes on one model.
>>
>>47134509
>The only thing more extreme looking about the Fyreslayers is that they've got tattoos.

The headdress/helmets that are taller than they are, in your opinion, are not ridiculous?

Because the WFB Slayers had big crests, yes, but the model focus was still the dwarf, not the hairdresser or milliner.
Or whatever bastardised profession produces those things.
>>
>>47134561
>Adding a key to one hand doesn't mean it wasn't mirriored in CAD

The fact it's actually not perfectly symmetric does though. It is simply not symmetric enough to be CAD mirror.
>>
>>47134580
>The headdress/helmets that are taller than they are, in your opinion, are not ridiculous?

No, not for a Fantasy setting. Especially not when it's part of a decades long legacy. Slayer have big crests.

>Because the WFB Slayers had big crests, yes, but the model focus was still the dwarf

Hardly, Fantasy slayers were mostly their hair and their beard.

Very serious.
You can differences on each side that simple would not be if it were a mirror job. The beard is not an exact mirror, nor are the legs or the eyes amd his crest is slightly off centre.
Is he symmetric looking? Yes. Is he actually mirrored? No.
So how about you actually learn to look instead of meme.

It's not the second.
>>
>>47135278
Now if you'll bother too look you'll notice it isn't even exactly mirrored.

>>47135308
Look harder. There are inconsequential differences. Not detail differences that are added after the fact, but to the actual structure of the model. Differences that have no reason to be there other if the model was simply mirrored.

One of these is taken from the GW site, the other has been mirrored in MS Paint. I have then omitted all of the non-identical runes, and added the dagger back onto the belt.
Can you tell which one was sculpted and which was mirrored?
>>
>>47135830
The bottom one. That little bit of metal chain on the right is a bit diffrent on the top and the sigil is mirrored.
>>
>>47135830
You mirrored the lower one. I determined this not by looking at the sculpt, but by examining flaws and artifacts in the paint.

See if you can find some unpainted examples and try again.

Right is sculpted.

Not particularly hard. One is an exact mirror, while the sculpted one has differences, for example in his crest, in his eyes, his moustache and the way he holds one arm slightly higher.
