There still 3 location untouched, will GW reveal them?
>>48336264
>The campaign is over edition
>>48336292
It certainly looks that way.
I mean, Order has more sub-factions than any other Alliance, right? So it sort of makes sense.
That said, I think it'd be more interesting from a narrative perspective if at least one city ends the campaign in the hands of a non-Order Alliance.
>>48336329
>Butthurt Death player detected
>>48336329
Maybe the Savage Orcs will boost Destruction - having 2 cities Order and 1 Destruction is pretty much my ideal scenario, despite the fact I play chaos.

I am playing Duradin myself and this shit is boring. Especially since painting points are super easy to be gotten by all the new Sylvaneth player.

I guess I might have to sit this one out except one or two few times I get a day off on the same day as the store being open.

I literally busted out my Forest Goblin army just to play games, so what exactly are you whining about?

Meh... found out I was the last post on thread. Anyways, here he is finished. Wasn't super pleased on how the cloth turned out, its a bitch to paint, and even worse when doing black I feel. But then again, when you have the box cover in front of you while you paint you just cant help to feel a bit worthless from time to time, as that stuff is absolutely gorgeous!
Still hyped over to try him out, and am as I type, right in the process of building my brutes! While on the topic, anyone has a good conversion idea for a Gore choppa? Its not that I don't like it, but I'm planning on getting more units, and don't want to have exact copies of the same weapon.

What happened to Warhams Gray morality?

It exploded
Go for Drycha and Spite-Revenants if you want angry evil trees

Leave your morality and shades of grey at the door.

You got your seasons wrong: autumn is for cozy defenders, winter for skirmish snowplay, spring for happy marches and summer is for summarized REEEEEs
>>48336617
>The perfect disguise!
So, looking through the rules.... For beastmen, a unit of Gors is 80 points. Min 10, max 30 models... Is it 80 points no matter what amount of models are in it? Might as well take the 30 always then.
>>48336640
Nah Summer is the season of chilling out - it's too hot to do anything
Autumn is knowing that it's only going to get worse, and your best times are behind you
Winter is for Drycha and the Outcasts + Spooky Groves

I give you the red, black and blue, but calling the forces of destruction 'noblebright' is just bullshit.

WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO STUPID?
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST FUCKING READ WHEN YOU'RE SO STUPID?
>>48336699
REEEEEEEEE! THANK YOU! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Should the beastmen tactics article be rewritten? A lot of their stuff isn't even in the same faction anymore nor has any major synergy amongst itsekf, such as their mobsters and Warherds.
I'm fact, I can't think of much that benefits them from the rest of the chaos roster. Maybe a Warshrine and a sorcerer lord to buff them?
>>48336717
>monsters
Why does GW hate them, again? Is it because no one bought the Cygor??
>>48336649
See that verminlord deciever? It is actually 10 assassins standing on each others shoulder, skitterleaping behind your lines.
>hat is actually playable in AoS
>>48336717
LOL they don't even have the Mortal keyword, Shrine is useless on leastmen. ;)
>>48336468
Looks great.. How'd you learn? I mean since you mentioned you think you've had little practice.
>>48336500
It turns out that the kids of today are not impressed by grey morality and that they want heroes to cheer on and villains to boo on.
>>48336699
That doesn't make sense at all, senpai.
>>48336806
Nah, I like bith, but Warhammer was never one for subtlty and nuance. What you ascribe to 'grey morality' means, to a lot of people, 'muh fantasy racism' and less to do with flawed, humanized protagonists.
I think the closest they've come is in novels, predominately the Empire and some Norscan fiction, and mmmmmmaybe the Elves. The rest of the setting was always full of black hats and silly XTREME villains.
I think what Brayherds need is Heroes on chariots again. The only reason they can't is there is no official model for it. Kind of annoying really.
>>48336867
40k is really the one that has grey morales by the virtue of everyone being an asshole. Mostly because it was derived from 2000AD comics that liked make fun of two extremes that just ends up causing a lot of damage either way. Like you have Chaos ruining society and then you have order through the Imperium ruining freedom. Both are terrible options and you are not supposed to think of either as the real good guy, but GW still decided to make the Chaos Space Marines the moustasch twirling villains.
>>48336820
The points cost is for the minimum unit number, so:
5 = 80
10 = 160
20 = 320
etc.
>>48336923
Why the fuck are my Centigor in the monsters section?
They should just merge Brayherds, Bullgor and Monsters into one 'Beastkin' faction, give them all the same keyword
Also bring back Ghorros and Malagor, even in the form of generic heroes it would be something.
>>48336923
There would be if it wasn't squatted
>>48336957
You aren't losing much if you want to take units from both groups.
>>48336957
We get no heroes. I'll be surprised if we EVER get any new heroes. Maybe the TW dlc for beastmen selling will convince GW they aren't a dead faction waiting to be squatted...
>>48336965
Gorthor is still valid and legal, but it's not Your Dude, plus I don't know how much longer they'll support legacy stuff.
>>48336980
GW said that they will keep rules for legacy stuff available for all times, which is why they got points in the first place. Whether or not you believe GW is going to keep this up is your decision.
>>48336969
Beastmen gave some decent synergy going on, in fact with Gorthor, a wargor, and a Furious Brayherd you have a shitload of Gors, chariots, etc. Making tons of attacks with re-rolling 1's on all hits and wounds, adding ones to hit and wound (possibly another +1 to wound and attack for Gors), running another +2" and charging after running.
It's the only thing that makes Brayherd beastmen stand out, so you probably want to double down on it.
hey guys, anyone got in alot of games with the new points system???
Question for those who have: are behemoth units op? or can they be sniped easily? wondering whether or not to include another Daemon Prince and a Soul Grinda in my army
>>48337002
The question is ir they will update the legacy warscrolls in the future, should they decide to fuck with the rules.
>>48337043
Depends on the opponents army. I would be wary of artillery heavy armies and ones with flying beatsticks, like an empire general or chimera.
>>48336980
>talking about models
>brings up rules
I have an uneasy sense of déjà vu
>>48337043
I very much doubt they are OP unless someone's army is really mono-build with like only grots or whatever.
They get weaker over time and very few can heal, i'm enjoying using Shaggoths and Jabberslythes. The soul-grinder you mentioned does seem pretty strong on paper but i assume it's expensive.
>>48337060
Is the Chimera that deadly? i might use one soon for my Chaos force. it's powerful yet i feel it will lose wounds quickly with that 5+ save, it'll probably be my shield candidate
>>48337085
It does a lot of damage and it's fast, but it's also a huge glass cannon. I usually flank with it and have Skullcrushers with Mystic shield screen for it and pin down units it wants to charge.
What are good Battleline units for a mostly Tzeentch force? Already got 2x units of horrors, but don't really feel like adding more horrors. Don't have enough points for a 30 strong blob of Daemonettes either.
>>48329288
Well, Fireforge games makes plastic miniatures that fits the Bretonnia aesthetic, that is if you don't mind the realistic scale and proportions of historical miniatures.
>>48337059
What kind of fuckery would they have to do for the warscroll to need changing? With the rules being as light as they are and most of the important bits being on the warscrolls they'd have to do some super drastical shit.
>>48336500
There was never any gray morality.
Okay, so the first two Empire detachments are in the free rules compendium with points in the Legacy list of the GH. Where the hell do I find the third one, though? "Free People's Regiment" or somesuch?
>>48337412
It's GW. I have come to expect stupid shit from them over the years.
>>48337592
Well if it's something from the original PDF or any of the 4 GA books it should have points, you're probably being blind or stupid like most people in these threads.
Some battalions just straight up do not have points however, it seems anything from a narrative book lacks points and is intended for free play / narrative only. Same with any battalion you find in a bundle box. Which is kind of silly, but...
>>48337595
Now that they're up for preorder, is it just me or did Bonesplittaz get a huge nerf?
No more inherent war paint and savage orruks losing their rend and reroll to hit seem to be the most blatant offenders.
Unless their battalions are bonkers, I'm not impressed given they don't even seem competent at their gimmick.
>>48337698
Splitting them into 3 different units based on weapons and then changing their abilitys is pretty retarded, not looking forward to this concept GW is trying to push.
So it seems Morboyz are the go-to option, i assume they are battle-line and the fact they can deal out d3 mortal wounds to monsters each turn is pretty cool.
Basic savage orks seem pointless and personally arrowboyz always felt stupid, i'm sure nobody has ever built that option, the models don't suit bows.
Yeah gotta agree losing that -1 rend is big, and i'm still confused as to why dudes with a 6+ save only get one attack, yet 2 wounds each on base infantry is kind of sweet.
>>48337751
The morboyz are not battleline. They are by far the most baffeling part of the new bonesplitterz to me. Theyre just not good and cost to much.
The arrowboys I could see use simply because taking 30 gives you 90 shots with -1 rend against monsters. I've had some good success with my grot archers so I could see the arrowboys also working.
The boarboys and maniaks look like they could be quite strong, even if the lack of rend is annoying.
The fact that all the models have one more wound than the cost equivalents have but shitty saves to compensate is kinda neat but it really looks like it will screw up the heroes. They all got shitty saves and barely more wounds than equivalent heroes so I'm afraid they can be killed quite easily.
I could imagine some of the Warclans giving them good bonuses could make the bonesplitterz decently strong and the whole 'two wound infantry at the cost of one' could be better in practice than it looks on paper. But I'm not super thrilled yet.
>>48337751
>horde unit
>spears & shields are pointless
I honestly cannot disagree more. I mean, sure, two different weapons are kinda nice, and the Deff Ride is a useful ace in the hole, but overall I'd much rather have savage boys instead of morboys.
>>48336500
Warhammer didn't have gray morality, it had satire. As in everything that could be wrong was wrong.
>>48337043
why is this ugly model posted in every general?
>>48337592
The free guild regiment is in the free guild section.
>>48338056
Yah I always wanted a Daemon prince but the new model is so awful. Be'Lakor is pretty cool tho.
>>48338122
I wouldn't mind it if it came with better head options, including god-specific ones. The default heads are seriously derpy. One of dorghar's heads could work well, but that relies on finding someone that converted their archaon mini.
>>48338182
OO that's a good idea. But I dunno if one fits into my army. I'll think about it.
>>48338061
Right! That one!
Can't seem to find the rules. Can you point me in the right direction, fella?

What's all this about?
>>48338716
>>48336264

They already have been revealed. The events of the previous book took place there.
>>48338702
Eh, I think the big ass Griffin and the Demigryphs do fine. I'd be okay with a new box of free guild guard though
>>48337659
Right, just couldn't find the Freeguild one. The other two from the free ruleset seemed pretty okay, but being in the Legacy list I figured they'd be phased out in the near future.
>>48338702
EVERYTHING can fit in the setting
it's the sigmarines that don't fit with the old armies
>>48338745
>>48338780
Honestly AoS Azyrheim and other free people's cities seem to be embracing (so far in the scant material we have) the early 90's and End Times vision of the empire as a grim fantasy setting rather than the mid 2000's version which is literally just the Holy Roman Empire

via Monly@warofsigmar
>>48339131
>sigmar has meta knowledge of the setting
this would explain everything
I was thinking Drakesworn Templars were better than the Celestant.
After artifacts (both have +1 damage artifact) and traits (Celestant has legendary fighter) the Celestant does 4.99 unsaved wounds in melee against 3+ save while the Templar with Lance does (assuming monster target) 1.75, with an axe does 1.77 and with the hammer does 2.13.
That's just the guy by himself, the drakes themselves are identical.
I know hero hunting isn't really what the Celestant is trying to do but it's the only place where the two even differ. Is 100 points worth 3 unsaved wounds?
>>48339004

White Dwarf is written, complete with the release schedule and stuff, about 2 months before each issue is released. So any reaction to Order being dominant would be about a month and a half too late if it was gonna be in WD.

>START COLLECTING! STORMCAST ETERNALS 65E
I just bought the starter box last night.
I don't know how to feel.
>>48340317
Different anon here. It's generally true for all magazines, regardless of what they're related to. It wouldn't surprise me if White Dwarf is written a little closer to its release date because it's only a small weekly publication, but that sort of lag between writing and release is quite common.

>And where do the Seraphon hand out?

Troggoths in a majority Ogor/Gutbuster army, yea or nay?
Already have a Gargant, I want a sort of army of monsters type feel. Probably adding some stuff from Beastclaw Raiders too.

Chimera.
>>48340394
Chimera, it was released back in the WHFB era alongside the Storm of Magic expansion. It's really not a very good model at all, nowhere near the quality of the large monster kits they do nowadays.
>>48340317
If you've got the Bonesplitters issue, check out page 29 in the Golden Demon box - they say that they're writing the issue a day or two after Warhammer Fest, which was 2 months ago in our time.

I wish we could have them reacting to how it's going.
>>48340338
Whatever is in the box you'll need more of anyway
Unless it's literally the Celestant on dracoth
>>48340492
Really hoping it has judicators and 2 retributors with starsoul maces
It will probably just be more of the easyfit stuff from the starter box
>>48340526

It'll be an absurdly good deal.
>>48338182
I managed to buy Dorghars heads just for the Nurgle one. The other two are sitting in my bits box.
My guess for the Stormcast box: Lord Castellandt & Gryph-Hound, 5 Judicators, 5 Liberators.
>>48340669
I'll still buy it
It's getting a box of liberators and the gryph hound for free

>>48340855
I don't want that box, I bought two starter sets
>>48340872
Buy it alongside the Storm of Sigmar box and you're good.
>>48340872
It works nicely with regiments of renown
>>48340887
It actually does work in matched play, you just pay for 5 but can only use 2
>>48340855
Easily the worst deal of them all.
I collect SCE and I get along just fine buying the stormcast halves of the starter set and from bits sites. This 'deal' wouldn't even be on my radar.
At least the other boxes are good.
>>48338702
Those people are contrarian children.

What's the best fluff source to read up on Dracothion? He seems like a pretty fucking major character given that he's essentially 'God' of the WHFB/AoS multiverse.
I'm very curious about a few things:
> Is he benevolent in giving the mortals a second chance, or is it just his natural 'thing' to create?
> Is he aware of the mortals he's creating? Is he self-aware?
> Is Chaos part of his plan, does he oppose it, or is he simply unaware?
> Was anybody in the WHFB universe aware of him at all?
> How does he interact with the Old Ones, if at all?
I know almost nothing other than him being God as a space-faring creation dragon.
Has he been expanded upon in the Seraphon/Extremis tomes at all?
>>48339899
Because some armies look objectively better in square bases
>>48340855
That would be laughable compared to the regular SC boxes!
>>48340855
The guy that said that subsequently changed his mind based up speculation in this very thread. Doesn't seem a very reliable claim to me.
>>48340424
A larger pack for rider less cold ones would have been nice for lizardmen players
>>48340962
Hmm if he is serpentine like that he could very well also be Sotek
>>48340962
Yeah he's actively anti chaos and is bros with Sigmar. He actually helps fight the chaos controlled dragon of the Metal realm in one of the latest books
>>48340914
>At least the other boxes are good.
WHAT IS IN THEM?
>>48340964
Doesn't matter. GW is either going all squares or all circles at this point. It would be dumb if some armies remained on squares and some on circles. The only reason why some kits are still being sold with squares is because GW hasn't gotten around to repacking them with circles.
>>48340964
>Because some armies look objectively better in square bases
>objectively
yeah, no, you're retarded, there's never anything objective about subjective aesthetics
>>48341033
Actually such a dynamic could give an army unique rules
>>48340971
WTF? Monly you idiot, we are getting this shit from you, and you are getting this shit from us? We have no fucking idea then what's in the start collectings.
>>48341027
I meant the current start collecting boxes. I don't know what's in the new ones, but all the ones up on GWs site right now are good.
>>48336362
I don't see how they are the exact same kits and rules
>>48341058
The source he got his first few post is an Age of Sigmar Facebook group. Saw them there before seeing them on the War of Sigmar Blog. He seems to just be spreading word of what he saw elsewhere.
>>48340400
>that pic
Fuck you, now I have feels
>>48341078
orks are pretty pisspoor, both 40k and aos
What are spirit host supposed to be used for? I grabbed another box after I got the start collecting malignants because I bloody love the models but I don't really see the best way to use the guys on the table.
>>48341155
Put them against big nasty stuff. They don't care about the enemy's rend, and they can pump out mortal wounds in return.
Herp Derp stormcast box revealed.
>>48341120
>to the stars, sigmar
>to the starsI mean, they are exactly benevolent reptilian beings that sacrificed themselves for the good of people and got to sit among the stars living in the form of timeless memories
>>48341265
>start collecting:Stormcast Extremis
>it's just two Dracothians for $85
>>48341245
Alright then, looks like I've got a way to go murder all the spooky new treelords popping up at the store. Cheers mate!
>>48341265
16 miniatures? lol
>>48341265
Heh, nice work. Not quite the right font on "Stormcast Eternals" though.
Also,16.
>>48341293
I mean I love that Kroak isn't obsoleted.
But with kickass new artwork, there is usually new models.
So I want Seraphon art. Awesome fucking Seraphon art.
>>48341265
>not 16 stardrakes
>>48341265
fake
>>48341331
>Awesome fucking Seraphon art.
you're in for disappointment.
also kroak is the only special character in a battletome that still hasn't seen any action nor introduction in the fluff bar his warscroll's.
>>48341388
;_;
Well. No resurgence of spending money in that direction then.
Dodged a financial bullet there I guess.
Made a triumph table to use in my group for the campaign, based on the lore about Phoenicium.
>>48341475
who was speaking about spending money?

New BOLS breaking news incoming.
It's a picture for ants, but it looks legit
>>48341767
It's unironically not bad to have prosecutors with special weapons and a liberator squad that'll give two grand weapons.
>two retributors
JUST
>>48341767
>two retributors
guess it's meant to go alongside the three man box/starter
>>48341767
That's cool. Any idea about the start collecting flesh eaters?
>>48341805
So I can have 8 liberators?
>>48341805
>>48341767
Every start collecting has a formation/battalion, wouldn't surprise me if the one in that specifies the retributors can start at 2.
Also, between the prosecutors and liberators you get a decent selection of grandweapons if you do want to spruce up the starter set dudes.
>>48341767
WHERE ARE THE OTHER ONES
>>48341898
>>48341912
>>48341912
>Treelord
>LOTS of driads
guess who is starting sylvaneth
>>48341928
>>48341944
Everyone who hasn't already?
>>48341912
Ok
>>48341928
Awesome
>>48341948
Sure
>>48341963
Neat
>>48341872
You can already take only 2 of them in matched, they just cost the full 220 points for 5
Now what would change that around would be a battalion that lets those two retributors form a unit with the lord celestant as bodyguards.
>>48341912
>16 Dryads
>Treelord
>Branchwych
Following the normal £50 price for Start Collecting! boxes, that would be £26 saved. The Dryads are basically free and the other two models are useful for pretty much any Sylvaneth army, so I can see this thing selling out fast.
>>48341948
Well I was planning on getting a zombie dragon...may as well spend the tenna extra... Thanks for the infos
>>48341948
Called it. And since you can make like ten different kits with it, it's strong for a repurchase, contrary to some other kits like Deathrattle.I'm a happy Strigoi.
>>48341963
10 Free Ardboyz and a free warchanter
cool, guess I'm buying more orks
>ironjawz start collecting has as much savings as seraphon
>>48342000
Doubt anyone will be using start collecting sets in matched play (none of the battalions have points, do they?). I just meant that currently their warscroll specifies that a unit of retributors is 3 or more models.
>>48336329
>>48336380
Honestly I hope that they use this campaign as a way to gauge how to do it in future.
Sure its one-sided now but hopefully this will lead to a global campaign in future that will be more intense.
>>48341912
>just bought a treelord
FUCK
how long till start collecting bonesplitters?
>>48341912
I think I'm about to fall for the Age of Sigmar meme.
>tfw browse Aosg more than 40k general
I hate to say it but I think I have been memed. It's time to get some orruks when that ironlads box comes out.
>>48342030
does deathrattle not come with a full morghast sprue to make the different morghasts?
>>48341912
is this uh
1x treelord
1x branchwraith
16x dryad?
>>48342071
They might.
But seriously I hope the battalion rules are Lightning Strike and "you may form a unit with your lord celestant by adding two retributors to your army to act as body guards. The Lord Celestant and his body guard count as one unit during the game."
>>48342224
Yes
>>48342224
These are complete sprues, so if the bits are on the original sprue, they are on the start collecting ones.
So the malignants one can make a mortis engine, OR a coven throne.
>>48342247
i may be seeing some spite revenants in there too?
>>48342247
I think that's the new plastic branchwych rather than the branchwraith. Adorable insects for all!
>>48341948
Mmh, i'm tempted to start a death force, given i only play Chaos. Don't like ghouls though.
Was looking at the skeleton one, i'd prefer it not have the big stupid monster and instead just a weight king, maybe some Grave guard instead.
Anyone here build that Deathrattle formation and played it? Is deathrattle or death in general a fun army?
>>48342224
They do, but each of them are unique characters. Whereas you could build a Ghoul King and a Zombie Dragon/Terrorgheist, or a Ghoul King on ZD/TG with the Flesh Eaters one, and they're not unique. The Horrors can also be Flayers, and there's also the Courtiers.
It's just a lot more options than Arkhan/Neferata/Baldmoron + skellys and mounted skellys.
>>48339487
Its kind of pottery if you think about it, considering how past campaigns have gone, and how much they hyped up Archaon
>>48342433
I'd say build a mostly skeleton army, grave guard are great with the death allegiance trait. But definitely bring a vampire lord as your general. Its the same command ability, with the benefits of benefits of getting a wizard. Bring some wight kings to march around with your skellies too, to get that bonus to hit.
Cav options are also good, Hexwraiths and Black Knights can tear it up.
Damn I was hoping Sylvanith start collecting would have those half elf half tree dudes.
Is the campaign really over? I thought it was going to August?
>>48341767
>two Retributors
I guess? As a stormcast player I'm not that enthused by it, to be honest.
>>48341912
The old sylvaneth box was 195€ for three treelords and 36 drayds, right?
>>48342607
It is. It's just Order's been well on top so far so some people are calling it after less than a week.
>>48342607
It is, but Order has such a big lead in all the cities it'll be hard for the other races to come back
>>48341928
Sweet, the Slaughter Priest not in Gorechosen.
>>48342547
Yeah i may eventually do that. I like the Vampire on nightmare model, and black knights look great.

Are the Silver tower units in the General's handbook?
For example, can I actually use the blue horrors and split them from the pink ones?
Are the points even on the book?

The Bloodbound are a really good deal, and the stormcast aren't too shabby, either, stupid two Retributors notwithstanding.
>>48343008
Not yet, the points cost will be released on the same day as the handbook.
Hoping the Knight Questor is going to be another budget hero for Order
