Old thread

>>48246615
What are you talking about? I downloaded it and the filename is 1468358317927.png.
Savage orc leaks are still probably at least half a week out.
so what conversions do you have planned?
>>48246671
It's not that difficult.
>>48246671
*sigh*
>>48246703
I'm actually going to make another unit of irondrakes. But I want to try something a little different.
I am going to use the ironbreaker heads with the beards on them, and mount the drakeguns over the shoulders, where their right arms hold them up, leaving their left arms free to hold things.
Working on the first model of my Knights Excelsior stormcast, themed around the swamps of the realm of life. Still need to finish the tabard bits, leather, blue and black etc.
>>48246703
Right now I am cutting the Skaven pages out of the Grand Alliance: Chaos and plan on gluing them back together with a new cover/backpage to have a full fledged AoS Skaven Battletome. I want to say because I don't want to carry the huge Chaos book with me, but I know I simply don't want to have anything to do with the other Chaos factions.
>>48246615
Just a reminder that the sendspace link in OP is only there to get him 5 cents per click. Circulate the pdf or imgur album instead
>>48246703
40k player here, I track for conversions and occasiaonal lore curiosity, the Sylvaneth/Dryads stuff is going to be great for converting necrons, the bark textures and branches are som metal paint and snipping away from being wild necrodermis, and all the sprites can add variety to the scarab swarms, the New Drycha is a dead ringer for the c'tan shard of the endless swarm
>>48246751
That's looking nice. The verdigris ties the blue and the white together really nicely.
>>48246703
I made my two spare relictors into a Knight Vexillor and a 10th retributor respectively. Genuinely surprised at how good they came out, will post pics when I get home
>>48246809
Yeah you're an idiot. Hosting something on sendspace does not get you money, it gets them money. It's how they make their money for people hosting their shit up there for free.
>>48246751
Loving the idea so far. The Libby looks great and kudos for taking the starter set dude and giving him an upgrade set shield, I bet that took a fuckload of work to not look out of place.
And the base is absolutely perfect, it looks disgustingly wet and muddy.
>>48246778
Yeah, I'd like to do that for my Rotbringers too, but I've grown too attached to my GA book to cut it up.
>>48246858
Shun the Jew, do not fall for his schemes
>>48246809
>Circulate the pdf or imgur album instead
Let me correct that for you:
>spoonfeed me plox, I am too stupid to click a download link and follow the instructions I find there
>>48246751
Nice weathering sempai, but your paints have no deepness.
>>48246755
not that anon but you can take different banners to get all of their bonuses.
>>48246751
Gotta say, this is the first 'clean' stormcast scheme that looks good to me. Well done. And nice work on the base as well.
>>48246946
someone in this thread actually used plox unironically
I hate summer
>>48247009
>has no idea what unironically means
Yeah, summer sucks.
>>48246924

>>48247003
Very few units have more than one banner or musician/icon though. and since you pick who dies it's near pointless to have more than one of the same. But yes you can.
Champions obviously come alone and must pick between options. also wrong image
reposting free guild points
>>48247107
>since you pick who dies it's near pointless to have more than one of the same
Untrue. Sometimes your opponent pincers you in a way that the most beneficial model for you to remove as casualty turns out to be your standard bearer. If you had a spare, you could take that model away and keep the bonus. This is however, exceedingly rare and tends to be proof that you screwed up your movement, but it CAN happen
>>48247107
The second GW releases a model/spell/batallion that allows a player to snipe certain models it would be the smartest to have everyon carry a banner/instrument.
>>48247058
Got you covered senpai

>>48247107
>Deathmaster only 20 points above an Assassin
>Deathmaster has better save, anti-hero rules, etc.
Since he also has the 'assassin' keyword you can shove him into the Eshin clawpack too.
I was expecting points to fix this admittedly minor issue, but unless you really cannot squeeze out 20 pts to spare or your lgs bans named characters you'll never take an Assassin over Snikch Unless you really want 2 assassin's in your force.
>>48246615
>things have points now
I might actually have to look at AoS again.
>>48247298
It's breddy okay
>>48247255
You know, he's also 0-1, which compensates a bit. Yes, he's way better for his points, but you can never have more than 1. I find that a vast step up from WHFB where special characters used to be 0-1 AND overcosted. Similarly, Ikit is infinitely better than a normal Warplock for 40 points more and Skrolk is infinitely better than a normal Plague Priest for 20 points more.
>>48247235
There are technically a few, like a Stardrake nomming models, but frankly if you're in melee with a Stardrake, you quite literally have bigger things to worry about than keeping your musician safe
>>48247255
Just because everything tends to be in blocks of 100, it can sort of be difficult to find anywhere fit in 20 points.
>>48247249
>>48247278
Aw Shieet thanks.
Did they not include Centigor?
>>48247333
>It's breddy okay
That's all I ask.
>>48247362
Centigor now fall under the Monsters of Chaos faction (for some arbitrary reason).
>>48246703
Nothing extensive, I'm looking for helmets that future well on Storm cast. My plan is to leave unit leaders with the face mask and everyone else as normal helms.
>>48246703
Still working on this fucker. Or rather, trying to, since uni is a bitch right now and I wish I had time to actually get to painting.
Also, the little guy to the lower right, since I wanted a winged Lord-Celestant. On the table he'll be a Knight-Azyros with Master of Defense (to represent the shield) and Relic Blade (for the hefty battleaxe).
Anyway to extract the eBook from AoS app(Android)?
>>48247482
What is the chariot made from?
>>48247498
Ahahahahahaha
>>48247362
Anyone have the legacy Empire stats?
>>48247459
Do they have points? mind posting it, it sounds interesting.
I assume Centigor would be battleline, that's sort really the 'all monster' force i imagined
>>48247556
So... impossible?
BTW, the price tag of How to Paint Sylvaneth gone wild, £1 only, grab it quick.
>>48246703
I'm in the middle of converting a Lord relictor into a Wight King... First time using green stuff... There is a LOT of being used....
>>48247581
Don't have the jpg, but Centigors are 80 points for 5 and NOT Battleline. Neither is anything else in Monsters of Chaos. It's probably a Faction like Firebellies and Gargants, that is theoretically its own faction, but cannot be used on its own in Matched Play.
>>48247738
Do you have the point cost for Empire Knights?
>>48247521
Like a million different bits, but I assume you mean the armored front?mThat's made up from the spare pauldrons of the Stardrake connected by a Lord-Celestant's shield.
>>48247760
Yes, he has. Just like everybody else in the thread.
>>48247738
Is a chimera even worth taking now that it screws up your sub faction allegiance?
>>48247802
Share the love bruh
I'm thinking of starting a Sylvaneth army of some sort, any advice for a complete noob?
>>48247808
Who plays sub-factions? Seriously, especially Chaos. Devoting yourself to a God without specifying Mortal or Daemon has absolutely zero bonus and taking Mortal into it only helps Nurgle (Blightkings) and Daemon helps nobody unless you for some reason want to run an all-Flesh Hound army, so you might as well take all of Chaos, at which point the Chimera fits again. Want an old-school WoC army? Sure, the Chimera fits in there as well, you just can't run all-cav plus Chimera.
Although, the Chimera is imo way overcosted. I mean yes, it's absolutely devastating with a ridiculous damage output, but it's also fragile as hell with its 5+ Save. And all of that for slightly MORE than a Mutalith.
>>48247849
Sure thing, mate.
>sendspace.com/file/n3nkx2
Here you go. Enjoy.
>>48247904
Got an image for it?
>>48247917
Yeah, I have them all.
>>48247065
I wish I had as much money to throw at models as you.
>>48247886
Treelord Ancients and Spirits of Durthu are amazing. Taking at least one is basically mandatory.
Dryads are your rank and file. Field them in units of 20 and they'll put in a lot of work.
Drycha is way undercosted and a absolute blender if used right.
Wyldwoods are your best friends. Have at least two ready to deploy. Your army revolves around them and loves them, because the Wyldwoods love your army.
>>48247890
I own the chimera abd don't want nor really like the mutalith us my thing. Not sure how to fit it into a beastmen or bloodbound list, either.
>>48246778
Something the guy at my sorta-local GW suggested with the Ga books was to take them to like Kinko's or something, get the binding cut off and then have them punched and spiral bound
>>48247738
80 for 5 ain't bad, i'm glad they are cheap. thanks
>>48247917
As a matter of fact, I do!
I hope this helps.
>>48246703
Head swapping my Stormcasts. I love the iron face masks but I feel its something that more special dudes should have rather then every mook.
Used my Stormcast as Grey Knights for a long time so the most have termy heads n' shit, but I finally tried AoS and really loved it, so now I''m making more fantasy looking dudes like pic related.
>>48247955
Sweet, post Empire
8 confirms it
Just wondering, what is it that the ironjawz battle tome and all the tomes previous to the newest sylvaneth one are missing compared to the latest and ones to come?
I understand they are already now "behind" on the rules in some regard to books after the GHB? I stopped playing 40k many moons ago after buying a codex right before a new edition of the game came out and for my army to not recieve any kind of update for fucking years, i don't want that to happen again, unless its not that big of a deal?
Why can't games workshop structure there releases better.
Daily reminder: Kroak is a faget
>>48248063
Looking good. Those look sorta dreamforge-ish.
>>48248104
>Why can't games workshop structure there releases better.
GW is the most incompetent band of fuckwits running a company you'll ever see.
What's missing is 'Warlord traits', Something that will basically be Chapter tactics, magic items, a faction bonus making dedication worth while, and supposedly 6 unique spells.
>>48248149
Ow thats a shame, that sounds like an awful lot of missing things. Then again this time round i am mostly just collecting and not gaming. I do love those ironjaw models too. Ah fuck it, i hate you games workshop but i will begrudgingly give you more money.
>>48247993
Thanks, for flavour I like Harvestboon but Gnarlroot has interesting abilities. Is this one of those wait till you have the basics things or is it worth making my mind up now?
I got the Battletome and my resolve is slipping, I'm going back to the hobby.
>>48248104
Basically, the new Sylvaneth book sets a new standard for care put into a product and goes a long way to adress issues the community had with certain aspects of the game.
Basically, the Sylvaneth are the first faction with their own relics, traits and spells to make the heroes more into *your dudes*, some special force arrangement in the form of Wargroves (which have been compared to Space Marine Chapter Tactics) that affect your playstyle and a few other matters.
Forces released until now didn't have them, so some feel a little left out. To be honest, my Stormcast and Brets don't mind. Stormcast have no spellcasters in the first place, brets don't need any other spells (and will never get their own, obviously) and the general relics and traits found in the General's Handbook are pretty much perfect for them, so no loss there.
>>48248149
This.
There's essentially zero reason outside formations to take Judicators instead of free guild handgunners or crossbow men. I get 30 handgunners or crossbowmen for less than the cost of 10 judicators.
>>48248239
I see, so the generals handbook comes with some default relics for any army to take (more specifically ironjawz)? Sorry if thats obvious i am only just now looking into collecting again.
>>48248216
I'd recommend you wait a bit befire committing. Get a few models done, play a few games, that sort of thing. Once you got a feel for the actual proceedings on the table you can look more objectively into those wargroves.
And don't start with Alarielle. She's so outrageously powerful that she quickly becomes a crutch for beginners. I've seen it happen with Nagash and it's pretty annoying to wean a player off of that.
>>48248352
Got it. Get a blob of Dryads, a Treelord Ancient or Drycha Hamadreth (a great model, caught my interest in WD) and see what works.

its interesting to see these guys talk about their enthusiasm for the AoS GT which is going to be big at the LVO.
>$40 dollar free guild general on griffin can whip the ass of a $150 lord celestant on star drake
>>48248320
The GBH has six relics and six command traits for each of the four big factions on top of a factional bonus for sticking to yours.
Now, here's where it gets tricky. To get those relics/traits (one of each for your army by default), you need to have *allegiance* to your Grand Alliance, i.e. Destruction in your case. That, however, means that your force cannot be Ironjawz allegiance at the same time, since you only get on allegiance at any time. This means, if Ironjawz have any units that become Battleline on the condition that you have Ironjawz allegiance, you are out of luck and need to bring baseline Batteline units.
(That said, I don't know if Ironjawz have conditional Battleline units, but I'd expect so.)

Necron converter here, how big is the beetle? because depending on size I could make it fill in for a tomb stalker, or even a monolith
What does /tg/ think of the way summoning works in Pitched? More of a "choose your own reinforcements" than spam.
Is it better to spam empire Knights or Demigryphs as Free Guilds? I feel like with all the buffs I can give units, one big blob of horse Knights will put out more damage and have more staying power than just a few Demigryphs.
>>48248605
Easily an expensive stalker...
>>48248116
reminder that skaven players are the 13 year old angsty teenage edgelords of aos
>>48248696
I like it. Instead of giving summoners free points, they get a lot of flexibility and still have good mobility because of summoning things in is like a deep strike. I am pretty cool with it.
>>48248605
Mine is still in the mail, but a guy at the store already assembled one for last Saturday
It's pretty substantial, not monolith-sized, but certainly chunkier than a tombstalker.
But if you plan on that, I feel compelled to warn you from one necron player to another that the wardroth doesn't match the necron aesthetic at all. Like, not even a tiny bit.
>>48248718
so it would cost more money.... darn, part of me converts more for visual variety but the savings are a welcome part when I can land them
>>48248761
If done right it could look sick. Buuuut it's like three times the price!
>>48248759
well was planning dome doing, and the use of other converted dryads to make a more matched mixed up mutant metal look, and... I would have used tomb kings parts to help blend but those are an ebay premium now, part of it was because I wanted a spiritual recreation of pic related
>>48248477
haha not bad for a dead game.
i don't see the ITC picking up KoW or 9th age.
>>48248482
How tho
Can command abilities that say "pick a unit within X inches of the general" target the general himself?
>>48249193
Yes.
Sylvaneth battletome posted yet?
>>48248734
Hey its grumpy-mad guy again. We get, you hate skaven.
>>48248992
The griffon is striaght-up a better brawler than the stardrake and the general is not much behind the celestant either, trading one range and to wound for a rend. Meanwhile, the griffon can ignore both sources of mortal wounds in melee and the ranged source barely affects it.
So do all old Empire units have point values?
My starterbox plus paint+stormcast box gets me this if I use my paladins as just stand ins for liberator grandhammers (since 3 isn't enough for a squad anyway)
What should I finish my 1000 point army with?
I don't really want to overspend on this considering the starter got me 700 points of stormcast AND those chaos guys for £54
Everything else stormcast just seems so stupidly priced.
>>48249380
Woops, forgot image.

https://youtu.be/Xy7AoKAywHk
>>48248492
I appreciate you explaining that anon, I was struggling to understand how it all worked.
It's not super important, I have no opponents and mostly cynical ex 40k friends that would only power game the shit out of this anyways, I just thought it would be nice to have a "legal army" if the occasion arose.
Practicing my painting on my old 40k models until my box of brutes arrive. I'm strangely looking forward to taking my time and buying small and painting up my force piece by piece. Again thanks for the explanation.
>>48249349
Yup
You can find them under 'legacy'
Hard to believe GW hasn't axed AoS yet. Specialist games are only supposed to last for a year.
>>48249648
40 points is a lot higher in AoS than it is in 40k or WHFB
>>48249799
Wooooow
People getting real lazy with the shitposting
>>48249239
Rules, yes. Pretty much all of them were posted before release.
Lore, probably not. I really do think it is being cheap as fuck refusing to buy books if you want lore though.
>>48249810
Fair nuff
I'll scrap tge warlord and have the Warbringer be general, prefer the grey seer model and abilities, with that in mind hows it look?
>>48249823
You can be a faggot and accuse anyone who disagrees with you of "shitposting", but it won't change the fact that AoS is a specialist game.
>>48249856
I was going to say, drop the warlord and spend the points on perhaps an Assassin or weapon team. Not the Warpfire thrower it's kind of shit.
Other than that, yeah looks pretty standard generic troop army, nothing special and yet no huge flaws
Battleshock will start to fuck over those clanrats and even Vermin, i'd take advantage of the Grey Seer's command trait to keep everyone around.
Your plan will be to keep him safe and Mystic shield up on the Verminlord and/or Stormvermin..

>>48249310
Also add the fact that the general on a griffon is literally half the cost of a lord celestant on star drake. Has half the rules yet can match the big dragon pretty well.
>>48253072
>buying a Mistweaver off Ebay
Not buying the whole box!Neither do I.
>>48253172

Um... stardrake is tougher, and their maw attack is excellent against elites, kill 1 ironguts on average can't be bad.But stardrake is fucking expensive... in term of $£€¥

This has been a bad week for Archaon. I cannot imagine his stress.
with pic related, does adding the anointed as a rider add the points value for the rider as well? it's sort of confusing as you compare it to a free-guild general and a free-guild general on griffon having separate points values
>>48254732
>This has been a bad week for Archaon. I cannot imagine his stress.
The way you said this makes me think of Archaon at home, sitting at his desk with his head in his hands while his wife rubs his shoulders and tells him it'll be alright - they'll figure things out.
>>48254484
Unfortunately I'm at work and won't be back home for hours. If no one has done it by then, I'll let you know.
>>48249599
I use Incubi Darkness, Nuln Oil, light dry-brush of Hellion Green. I don't claim that's what they used, but it looks pretty fucking similar. If dry-brushing is too sloppy for you, edge-highlight with Gauss Blaster Green instead.
>>48249669
no, he doesn't, he uses a different scheme for the armor, unfortunately
>>48253433
Sure, but the issue was them fighting one-on-one.
For a guy that is literally half the points and even less in actual cash the General is a powerful brawler that can wreck the Lord-Celestant, mostly on account of the Gryphon being a stronger melee option than the Stardrake (who's more of a horde mulcher). Against the Rend-2 of two of the General's three melee profiles the Celestant has a 5+, rerolling 1s and 3 more wounds while the General has a straight 4+ against anything his foe has, so they're fairly even on the defense, too.
If either use their Command Ability on themselves it becomes even more pronounced.
>>48254738
You just explained it yourself. The Phoenix costs the same with the rider and without. If it had a different value than it would have a seperate entry like the free-guild general.
>>48254738
You could just, you know, have a look at the points table. Because it says quite fucking clearly that "Anointed of Asuryan", "Flamespyre Phoenix" and "Anointed of Asuryan on Flamespyre Phoenix" are all different entries.
I wonder if GW will be releasing an "FAQ for Absolute Fucktards" the day the book comes out..

Do you have a different point table than me?
>>48254749
Isn't his wife some sort of hideous daemon-thing now?

I just noticed the Open Play: Aelves collection seems to be sold out on all of GWs online stores, kinda crazy.
Do you think there is some sort of significants in the way the collection is composed? EVERYTHING in that box is a wizard. Do you think they just made this as some sort of quick thematic pack to make some bucks or is there some potential hint for the future of Aelvekind in there?
>>48254987
The reason it's sold out is probably cause one of the component parts is sold out

>gaunt summoners plotting behind his back
I have no idea how you see that as a sign of incompetence on anyone but Archaon's part.
I rather think its a sign of incompetence that the supposed greatest tactician can fail so dramatically to estimate what forces are necessary to win the day on each battlefield other than the one he attacked personally.
All of this makes him look like nothing but a dumb sledgehammer.
>>48255220
>>48255166
Archaon after defeating the attack on the Allgate in Chamon rushed into the portal to the Allpoint Nexus. He is heading over to protect what remained of the Allgates in Chaos's grasp.
Death, Light, and Shadow Allgates are currently in danger. Which Allgate do you think Archaon will choose to defend personally?
>>48246946
Why not use mediafire or MEGA? Those two are far more legitimate.
>>48255313
>I have no idea how you see that as a sign of incompetence on anyone but Archaon's part.
The Gaunt Summoners have been plotting and rebelling against Archaon since their enslavement. He has punished them many times already. They are too useful for him despite their shiftiness. They just cannot get it through their bunny shaped heads that they cannot be free from Archaon no matter how hard they try.
>I rather think its a sign of incompetence that the supposed greatest tactician can fail so dramatically to estimate what forces are necessary to win the day on each battlefield other than the one he attacked personally.
Unforeseen outcomes. Dragonbro's intervention, the Skaven sudden betrayal, Gordrakk's Waaaaagh! outta nowhere. All of which were outside his control. The Chaos Allgate were defended by plenty of forces and they had reinforcements a plenty from Varanspire. The problem there wasn't in the power or numbers deployed there. The faults were in the commanders in charge of the defense.
>>48255313
I was going a different direction with that post originally and meant to take out the gaunt summoners. It's even worst on his part that he literally walked in on one of them trying to betray him and doesn't think the other 8 would try something as well. IIRC he didn't actually kill that gaunt summoner but just banished him somewhere awful. He's still out there and knows Archaons Name and greatest weakness.
>>48255331
Death. Nagash is marshaling his hosts for an all out attack, and only Archaon would be able to stop him. Of all the gods, he probably finds nagash to be the biggest threat since he's actually revealed himself.
>>48255337
Because both of those require you to make an account while sendspace doesn't. Whoever made the link was probably just lazy.
>>48255375
>He's still out there and knows Archaons Name and greatest weakness.
First of all, Whisperfane is the Silver Tower or a Silver Tower.
Second, Archaon stated he gives no fucks if the Gaunt Summoner knew his true name. He is not a daemon prince. That name means nothing to him. Heck, the gods, Be'lakor, all the gods of Order know his true name. It's not really a secret to anyone but newfags in the setting.
Third, the Watcher King is now free. He reunited with the other nine.
>Death. Nagash is marshaling his hosts for an all out attack, and only Archaon would be able to stop him. Of all the gods, he probably finds nagash to be the biggest threat since he's actually revealed himself.
The Everqueen also revealed herself, dude. She is way more active that Nagash.
>>48255365
>Unforeseen outcomes.
I thought he can see the future? I give him the Waaagh! cause I remember in some book it said even Tzeentch can't predict the greenskinz in AoS anymore but he really should have seen the skaven betrayal coming.
>>48255384
Nooo, it's a conspiracy, I tell you. OP is shilling out the link made by another anon to get people to download something from a service that hosts things anonymously to make mad dosh of the adds. Nevermind logic or anything like that!
>>48248696
The fact that the couple of people at my FLGS absolutely hate the changes I think is indicative of it being a net positive for the game.

Revealed himself to be a whiny, incompetent little bitch with an inferiority complex a mile wide, you mean? If I were Archaon, I wouldn't bother with Shyish, leaving Nagash alone for a while should be enough to bring him utter defeat.

The Eye of Sheerin gives shows him the near future. Just a few moments into the future. It's useful in duels but useless for planning battle tactics or long term planning.
There are rare cases when the Eye showed him the far future but that only happens during momentous moments,
Archaon relies of The Gaunt Summoners and the Oracle of the Vault for sight into the Far-future. Surprise, surprise, they all advised him to protect the Allgate in Chamon first.
> but he really should have seen the skaven betrayal coming.
It wasn't him who contracted the Skaven. It was the Glottkin. Otto despite his brothers protest that the Skaven are not to be trusted, choose the Skaven as his allies.

>utter carnage ensues
over the weekend I did some storage unit diving looking for some old stuff, and more of my 6E fantasy army was intact than I expected.
what should I know if I want to use old high elf units in current AoS? (for pitched)
I've read through the rules, and looked at the general's handbook stuff, but having not played any fantasy in well over a decade I have no points of comparison to judge anything.
pic related is what I have pulled out of storage, I think everything should be correct, I dug through the various warscrolls trying to figure out what units got new names, and am a little annoyed the shift seems to have left me with no good generic generals that affect highborn except the sea helm or a prince on gryphon (which I don't have)
what should I know going in and are there any recommendations for what to use from that list to build a vanguard force?

Well, and here I thought Ghurk was the stupid one, but even a mindless mound of fat and muscle that contributes nothing to the conversation is smarter than someone who trusts Skaven
>>48255475
>Incompetent
more like overly arrogant. he thought he could face Archaon without Sigmars help, but Archaon still had to deal with him personally in each of his defeats. Archaon leaving him alone is a sure way that Nagash takes back control of the shysh allgate. It would be better to take out Nagash first and secure his hold on the realm of death. Nagash may be an idiot but he's still too powerful for anyone but Archaon to take out.
>>48255402
Alarielle already has control of her allgate, Archaon is rushing to one of the ones that is still open.
>>48255630
>he thought he could face Archaon without Sigmars help,
To be fair, he had enough of Sigmar stabbing him in the back each time they ally with each other. Enough is enough, man.
>Archaon failing to see Skaven betrayal
>Sigmar failing to see Nagash betrayal
Will Mannfred and Be'lakor betray everyone with nobody expecting it next?
It would be beyond hilarious if Archaon showed up in Shyish to thwart Nagash and punish him for his arrogance
>>48255752
>Archaon failing to see Skaven betrayal
Archaon did not have the Skaven defend the Allgate in Ghyran. Otto Glottkin allied himself with the Skaven.
>>48255782
So? Otto worked for Archaon. If he sent the Glottkin to the gate with instructions like "yeah do whatever you like" it's obviously his fault.
>>48255768
Getting really sick of your shit, Nagash.

>>48255797
Actually, Nurgle propositioned Archaon for Ghyran and the right to defend the allgate. Archaon granted this, and Nurgle assigned his greatest champions the Glottkin to defend the Allgate.
He is not their nanny. Archaon told Nurgle to tell the Glottkin that the Everqueen and Stormcast were coming to the Allgate. They were informed and they prepared the defense and gathered their allies.
After that it was out of Archaon's hand and into Nurgle's and the Glottkin's blubbery hands..

>>48255946
Among the Chaos Generals leading the defense of the Allgate was a talented Plague Sorcerer who was working on a powerful plague spell. The plague spell happens to be one of the ingredients for one of the Great Skaven Plagues. So the Skaven betrayed their Chaos allies and attacked he sorcerer defensive fort and then captured him. After that was done, most Skaven escaped the battle and returned to Skavenblight with his prize.

>>48255931
Archaon knows the Skaven are untrustworthy but he finds them useful and he has used them in the past. In fact, he has Skaven daemons and commanders in his direct employ. Allying with the Skaven is not an inherently a bad idea. It's up for the commander to keep a watchful eye on them. This goes without saying. It's common knowledge. I mean It's Chaos we are talking about. Betrayals are abound.
Otto was overconfident and ignored Edrac's bellyaching about the Skaven coming betrayal. He ignored common sense. Otto's failure is not Archaon's.

This. A good general must always be on top of everything. Archaon has always been a mediocre general that has just throws stuff at the wall to see what would stick.

Bleh. I can only play 4 games over the month, (games evening is only once a week at the store,) but apparently I can have just as big an impact by buying and painting 2 cheap characters. (If I optimistically assume I would win 50% of my games.)
>>48256171
I really don't get the requirements for "painting a miniature". Do I have to buy it in front of the store manager and then paint it? Its stupid, because otherwise i can just say "i painted all these yesterday" and get like 10 points for free.

Pretty neat, means we should be able to see what grand alliance is the most popular in each region.

is interesting. I guess that's to stop people pumping their results into certain locations as happened in previous campaigns.
>How will you ensure the results are reported fairly?
>All results are reported, in person, through an official participating store and all results are checked to make sure no mistakes have been made. Obviously, we can’t send an official adjudicator to every one of the thousands of games taking place across the campaign, so it is up to you to report your results honestly. Remember, Sigmar is watching, and takes a dim view on cheaters, who will be struck down with heavenly bolts of Azyr-lightning (probably).
How many of you guys will be eligible to be thinderstruck during this whole campaign
maybe I should strip and repaint all those elves for the good of order then! its a shitty paintjob from nearly 14 years ago, but I have 40k to finish before an early armies on parade for a store anniversary.

>>48256189
Either Order or Chaos. I highly doubt there's gonna be enough people repping death or destruction. I'd say order is probably slightly more likely to win in most regions. Especially since they're gonna get a lot of points from all the painted Sylvaneth stuff.
>>48256264
Nah, the best option is to just destroy everything, including Chaos.
>>48256327

>>48256019
>Otto's failure is not Archaon's.
But it is. And Archaon keeping Skaven around is clearly also a failure as demonstrated by their treachery. Chaos being chaos is not an excuse. How many times have Nurgle forces backstabbed other Nurgle forces? That's right they are actually reliable when Skaven are out.
If Archaon wasn't personally powerful he'd be kicked out of the command chair and if he wasn't dumb he'd leave grand strategyzing to someone cleverer.
>>48256264
>archaon apologist

>>48256364
>But it is. And Archaon keeping Skaven around is clearly also a failure as demonstrated by their treachery.
He has no choice in the matter because the Horned Rat was promoted to the Great Horned Rat and was invited in to the Great Pantheon of Chaos by the Three (formerly the Four but now Four again). So Skaven being around is the fault of the upper management. Archaon just has to deal with the reality that the Chaos Gods created when they made the Skaven an official part of the Chaos group.
>How many times have Nurgle forces backstabbed other Nurgle forces?
Plenty. The Call of Archaon has one example and during the chase for the Everqueen there have been a stiff rivalry between various Nurglite leaders over who gets to capture the Everqueen.
The Chaos Gods have been trying for untold thousands of years to send their champions to outsmart or outfight Archaon. All ended in failure. Archaon is as good as it gets and he is more than than the forces of Order can handle.
>>48256360
Because the God of DEATH who, by the way, is apparently either too dumb or too arrogant to even take care of his own realm, shouldn't be entrusted with the realm of LIFE. If anything, the two Gods of Life, Nurgle and Alarielle should duke it out.

>>48256608
The Chaos gods has never been a source of good judgement. They don't think in ways that either makes sense or resemble the way we think. Their thoughtprocess is literally chaos. That's why they needed some random asshole like Archaon to begin with. He is someone that could think in practical and linear ways.
If they could make logical plans and executions they would just walk over everything all the time.
>>48256608

The fluff says that the Three view Great Horned Rat as a weakling lesser who is not their equal in any way. He uses their disregard for him to plot behind their backs for next stage of Ascendancy.
Anyways, I just remembered something. The reason Skaven are all over Ghyran is because Nurgle allied himself with the Great Horned Rat. Forming an uneasy alliance between their both armies in order to spread disease and entropy over Ghyran and all other realms.
Archaon conquered Ghyran and handed it to Nurgle to run and manage. When Nurgle invited the rats inside and put them in key positions, then it's his fault and not Archaon's.
>>48256657
>By the way. Is Korghos Khull still alive? or was killed in the last realmgate book?
Unknown. Ignax burned the whole continent in fire. A lot of Chaos dudes died.
However, Khul survived an Azyrite nuke. He might survive this also.
>>48256481
