Old thread

>>48305806
That's some metal fucking art.
>>48305806
First for the campaing could've been nice but alliance size imbalance makes it pointless.
>>48305806
>tfw your GW manager tells you in no uncertain terms not to play Order or Chaos because the store has too many of those players already
whelp, time to play Death I guess...
MAKE GHYRAN GREEN AGAIN
According to the new lore, the Devoted of Sigmar (Flagellants) purify the land by shedding their blood on it.
I guess that makes them useful to have around. Also it shows that Sigmar does not this kind of behaviour done in his name.

Just started age of Sigmar. Chose chaos skaven. Judging by all the chaos hate on the threads here, did I make a mistake?
Post themes
Already have the Theme of Mazinkaizer and Veteran of the Psychic wars
>>48306054
what does it matter what people in these threads think?
>>48306054
No please, I want a challenge
>>48305995
You're my hero, anon! HUGE thank you for your generosity!
>>48305995
Thanks dude, I think I'll spend the saturday reading the thrilling conclusion to the REALMGAME WARS
So I'm going with the suggested world serpent them for my army, where can I get some good snake modles to work with?
>>48306143
>that bent lance on the left-most templar
>>48306221
Easily fixed by setting fire to the identidragon and replacing it with something better.
Right guys, after reading the formations in the latest realmgate wars, i will be using the one for my army, the ironjaws (5 megabosses in any combination)
I will have gordrakk and 4 megaboss on fott.
Now the problem is that i don't want 4 of the same model. ( already have 2, 1 of them is basic unchanged and the other has the choppa and the hand from the mawkrusha )
now for the other 2 megaboss, does anyone have any ideas of how i could make them different to each other?
>>48305995
Awesome thank-you!
Please, don't call me a Freeguilder. That's my slavename.
>>48306480
>sometimes think about playing warhammer (AoS) with my empire stuff
>then I remember they are now called freeguilders and are utterly unimportant to the story of AoS and stick out like a sore thumb

>>48306367
Kitbash some 40k models? No joke, they're quite similar.
What are the rules on Sylvaneth putting down beneficial wildwoods that boost their army?
FUCKING ORDER GET OUT
TOO MANY FACTIONS
LET US EAT SOME OF GHYRAN DAMMIT REEEEEE
>>48306245
Identidragon? What's the joke?
>>48306677
That they are monopose, I think.
>>48305995
This is great! Anyone going to convert to PDF soon? I have completely given up on trying to read GW ebooks.
>>48306677
>>48306688
Heh. Double Double Dubs.
>>48306700
Download Readium.
>>48305934
The orcs are kicking ass and taking names at our store. Everyone is loving them
>>48306616
Just play them in a different game. I mean I like AoS, but the glorious old empire doesn't deserve this shit.
>>48306688
Ahh as in identicle, I had thought of bashes with the carnosaur and maggmamoth kits but where can I get big enough wings?
>>48306700
There's a guy on Kickass that does them and they're good quality, I'll try and upload them on there by the end of today
>>48306101
It just seems like the popular view of the community.
If Order wins as overwhelmingly as they've been so far, could we maybe see a split or defections among them at some point?
If it keeps up like this the entire month, it has to be clear that Order encompasses too many factions and can win too easily, right?
>>48306780
Not really been seeing any real hate for Chaos, banter's pretty much all it is.
>>48306780
We're hating on Archaon every chance we get, not chaos as a whole though.
>>48306143
>be excited thinking I saw centigors in Archaon's retinue
>lol nope it's dragon ogres
Fuck you too then Grand Marshal Cunt
>>48306961
Considering he spat in the face of the Rat, pretty sure he hates Beastmen just as much.
>>48306987
I'm going to get drunk and rape his Varanguard with my swarm of goat cocks and there's not a god damn thing he can do about it!
>>48306616
I'm just gonna go with the logic that my dudes are from the sovereign Empire of Nordland.
>>48306795
If you read the lore bit on the Grey water Fastness the trees are super pissed about the Azyrites basically massacre the landscaoe do they can build their big dick gun fortress.
I get the feeling that even if Order wins the Sylvaneth are not content to remain allies with anyone once Chaos is pushed out all the way.
>>48306987
He doesn't hate Beastmen. He hates the Skaven because they are cowardly cravens and also because they killstealed Valten.
>>48305995
>GW introduces new treefolk
>I just wanted more XxxLegolaxX miniatures
>>48306710
Tried it. And besides I like reading on my kindle, which has yet to produce good with these.
I checked in at my local GW and we're Order but I'll be doing my bit and painting my Silver Tower heroes for points.
>>48307018
Each realm getting its own keyword and allowing Free Guilds to be any realm would be great for my plans to build a Life army.
>>48306670
Come again? Are you asking if they can do that? If so, yeah, sure.
Games Workshop confirmed for Skellymen.
Order is experiencing some pushback at Greywater Fastness, it seems. No longer in control of over 50%.
>>48307153
>GW is filled with lifeless revenants whose existence is solely to fellate the ego and carry out the whims of one short sighted, megalomaniac overlord.
>>48307018
Honestly the first ones I see spinning into destruction are the dark elves.
>>48307153
So Kirby was Nagash, and the new guy is Arkhan? (better in every way)
>>48307191
Well that's not a really anything new
>>48307241
If only he could have been settra, but his name is Rountree, so I don't think the sylvaneth update being the turn around is a coincidence
>>48307238
Maybe when we get to see more of the Shadow Realm?
>>48307238
>long haired vain megalomaniac sadistic pretty boys and girls
>Joining with the ugly brutes that only care about punching shit
Nah.
Besides, we already know the dark aelves are gonna joinCHAOS
>>48307238
I'd be down with Order being split up more but it seems unlikely, at least not until AoS 2e.
>>48307317
I thought that was the Horned Rat?
>>48307323
I didn't think there's editions to AoS?
I thought the rules and stuff were supposed to update and change over time, not stay the same until the next edition.
>>48307328
The symbol of the horned rat looks completely different.
>>48307241
Kirby was Mannfred. They even look the same.
>>48307323
That and progressive stories and campaigns like this are supposed to be happening all the time, not just static until next edition.
>>48307347
Is that still the case in Age of Sigmar?
anyone got experience with skullreapers, just brought some, not sure what to kit them with
>>48307369
Yes.
>>48307388
A thought occures, what if a good guy took over a seat in the chaos powers? Or am I being retarded?
>>48307388
The Horned Rat is still the new Chaos God. That's been the case for a long while hasn't it?
>>48307411
They still have to be beings of Chaos to be able to get in there.
So name me a good guy Chaos being.
>>48307411
You are (being retarded). Slightly less retarded then those retards who say Chaos isn't evil though.
>>48307359
>>48307342
Okay true, I'm just waiting with baited breath to see if GW sticks to all of this.
>>48307421
Doesn't change the fact that this >>48307317 is not the horned rats symbol.
>>48307421
For at least a year.
>>48307342
I seriously doubt there will be 'editions' of AoS in the traditional sense. I think the 4 pages of rules and warscrolls will remain as they are for the game's entire duration.
What I believe though is there will be more editions of the General's Handbook, which can only be a good thing.
This way they can adjust points costs for things ALL AT ONCE. This is also why I don't think they should include points costs of things in the battletomes. Also future editions of the General's Handbook could include additional rules for more modes of play and the like, to keep with the ongoing story.
This way they can 'update' the entire game using one singular book, and you don't need to rebuy any other books or army books. I am pretty stoked for it.
And if the General's Handbook stays around this same price, that would be a major bonus.
>>48307277
>Not having a Yugioh themed Dark Elf army, composed of big monsters themed after cards
>Not having a Blue Eyes White Hydra
>Not modeling your Sorcress to look like the Dark Magician Girl
>Not converting your Executioners into Celtic Swordsmen
>Not modeling your Blackfleet master with spikey hair, a duel disk and leather pants
Come now, its like you don't even play childrens Card Games. You have to believe in the heart of the minis!
>>48307507
Well hey, the eldar wraith knights have duel disks for sheilds so you're onto something
>>48307317
Malarion will probably become the new Chaos god that hates Chaos.
>>48307421
it's not one of the big 4 though, he's considered inferor, on the other hand be it malekith/malerion or morathi taking place of slaanesh, it's implied they will be treated in equal terms by the other 3.

Original image in the OP please?
Today I played a 1000 points game with Clan Skryre.
1 Warlock
2 Warplightning Cannons
2 Units of Stormfiends (3 with Ratling guns, 3 with Warpflamethrowers)
Apparently I am overpowered as fuck.
I mean sure, most of my stuff does deadly wounds and once the battalion shenanigans are in place it gets even worse. But I also am prone to blowing my own shit up, so I don't get where all the whining is coming from.
>>48306143
Everything here is built and painted better than will ever be able to paint any of my models.
>>48307794
Unless you have shake hands or some other physical issue there is not a whole lot of things to stop you from gitting gud.
>>48307791
whats the battle line?
>>48307791
>two warp lightning cannons
>in a 1000 pt game
I'm glad the people at my store aren't such cunts.
>>48306143
God damn, those dragons actually looks cool in that color...
>>48307846
Stormfiends
>>48307791
Come on, as long as its just a game for fun. Hell, I pitched my sole unit of Brutes against a full army of my friends old Dark Elves, just for shits and giggles.
And its not like they would fare better with the "official rules" where anything goes. Hell, I heard of people planting down a full table of only monsters when this game hit the shelves. Utterly destroying the new players wanting to throw dice with their newly invested storm casts.
>>48307779

>>48307791
>Warp Lightning Cannon 180 x 2 = 360
>Stormfiends 300 x 2 = 600
>Total 960
>Warlock-Engineer = 100
>Arch-Warlock = 140
Maybe they're whining coz you're cheating?
Also, nothing you got has any chance of blowing itself up, what are you talking about?
>>48307928
Thanks much mate.
>>48307459
That's a really good point, and I'd be ok with it. With an updated points list in one single tome released yearly would keep this game in the competitive scene I think.
Hello all, how goes the war?
Any changes? Updates?
How's the local scene where you are?
>>48307958
Cannons = 140 x 2 = 280
Stormfiends = 600
Warlock = 100
= 980
Also the blowing up part is for the battalion, where my weaoin teams, my warplightning cannons and my warlocks can kill themselves with one wrong roll. Well, two wrong rolls.
>>48307856
I say. It's a random ass weapon which, sure, can do a lot of damage, but other times, it does almost nothing.
Also I havent waited ten years for finally starting a Skyre army and not field two goddamn warplightning cannons.
>>48308022
I can imagine the next ghb including skirmish rules, where models don't act in units, like warhammer skirmish or kill-team. It just seems like something that would be part of a ghb.
Guys?
Guys.
Listen.
Guys?
Listen.

Guys.

I.
Guys.

On my deer.
Can I just take a bunch of wizards? Like the collegiate arcana or something? I just like magic and wizards and shit.
>>48308107
Cool, I was planning to do a similar thing with some Dracoth and kroxigor to recreate fantasy zoats
>>48308042
no the cannons are 180pts also the Warscroll Battalion is 200pts
>>48308114
Sure. Not in Matched play, I don't think, but Free Play, sure.
I have a question. With the reinforcement rules, does this mean I can't summon beyond the agreed points limit in a pitched battle?
Example: I've prepared a 1000 point death list. During the battle, if all of my units in the 1000 points list are still alive, I am not allowed to cast any "summon" spells to add to my existing army?
>>48308150
The fuck is this? I thought the point was to play whatever you wanted? The points was supposed to be just to balance sides, right?
>>48308128
Well unless you can show me proof right now, I'll stick to saying it costs 140 points, since that is what I believe is what I saw in the generals handbook.
Also yes, the battalion costs 200 points, that I know. But I wasn't using that at 1000 points.
>>48308186
You still need battleline units, and I don't see any Battlelines for them.
Maybe you can just field them without or something.
>>48308150
Could do your minimum Battleline and then inflate the rest with your mac allotment of Heroes via wizards n shit.
>>48308216
That you could do.
>>48308157
Read this.
That's all you need.
>>48308193
it is in the Generals Handbook you half breed are you fucking blind go download the mega and READ
>>48308215
>>48308216
Holy shit that's terrible. I thought this would let me have more fun since so I can play against strangers without worrying about inequality, not screw over people.
>>48308232
Well call me a liar and a scoundrel and a filthy filthy cheater then.
Good thing I'm playing Skaven.
>>48308186
You can play whatever you want, Matched Play is just an optional system for competitive games.
>>48308186
Yeah, and some manner of balancing needs to be used, one of them being mandatory battleline units and limits on heroes and monsters.
>>48308247
You go back into your mother's womb and only come back out once you've learned some manners you simple-minded twat.
>>48308118
wouldn't it be better to start from dragon ogres at that point?
I'd recommend to hunt for bits of bastiladon or stegadon feet though
>>48306616
Aesthetically the actual free guild models work fine, the newer releases are pretty consistent and with a griffin general and Demigryph Knights they fit in to the setting quite well
>>48308248
So don't play Matched then? You are looking for open or narrative play.
hrm, the regiments of renown rules are a bit more restrictive than i'd like for skirmishing, but are definitely a nice base for what i wanna do.
>grab enough hobby money to go buy some kurnoth hunters
>a guy just walked out after having bought EVERYTHING SYLVANETH RELATED from the local gee dub
>try to order a box
>it's sold out in europe
didn't realize there were so many tree lovers in yurop
also, third time they sell out their stock, and to think people thought aos was a flop....
>>48306616
It is all in the colors you use. A friend of mine ebraced the stormcast colors for his freeguild, making their armor/metal golden and their clothing crimson. They look a lot more regal and fit AoS pretty well that way.
>>48308593
Hunters are OP - got 2 groups in my 1k list
The models are a cunt to assemble though - if you want to hit everything well with paint you need do basically do it on the sprue
>>48308593
Swede here. Like 1/3 of our country is wilderness. We love trees.
>>48308593
all the tree stuff is popular everywhere there were 6 people hobbying in my shop and i was the only one doing something other than trees
Hey guys, "new" to AoS, just dusted off some ancient Chaos Warriors and Marauders on sprue and got me a Lord of Change, looking to expand with Flamers and Screamers for a nice Tzeentchian warband. How many points would this be?
Also, not having much luck on eBay, anywhere to get the Silver Tower Tzeentchian models at a reasonable price point or am I SOL?
>>48308716
how do you set them?
I tried sowrds and bows, don't really enjoy the bows since they didn't do jack shit in my game
>>48306711
Coolest thing about AoS.
>>48308791
Bows and Scythes - I like D3 damage
And the Fact i run the Heartwood Grove at 2.5k points so...
Sylv really don't have too much in terms of Range or Rend
Its a crappy shot, but heres my first AoS model in the process of starting a new era of wargaming for me!
Working on the bone as of now, and its only held together with blue-tack as you can see.
>>48308964
Looks really good anon! I am also doing orruks, but still cant decide if I want the black or red and bits of yellow paint scheme
>>48308964
That looks great!
Love the plume of vapors coming from the staff.
>>48308277
I don't like the elephant style feet
>>48308987
The official GW yellow never really got to me. I was actually about to start Chaos because why not, its cheap, available and over here, no one plays Khorne. But then I found some really "grimdark" Orruks, painted in mostly dark metal (fast, which is good when you like playing fully painted) with some white details on it. It was also good weathered, with rust and blood and all the little details that makes the model come alive, and just the things that was my cup of tea! I ordered my first 2 boxes of Orruks on the spot!
>>48308987
>>48308996
Thanks for the feedback by the way! I'm really starting to like how he´s turning out. Though I am curious, on the box-art they have managed to paint "sparks" inside the smoke, and it looks wicked, anyone knows how to get a similar effect?
>Vandus beats Skarbrand in a 1v1* IRL fite
Impressive.
*Alright, I guess he had a lightning drake thing helping too
>>48308964
Great magical effect on the smoke.
>>48308964
That looks awesome. Nicely done.
Not criticism: I can't help but feel the tusks round his head need shading to add depth but that might just be the photo washing it out a bit.
>>48309156
Vandus received an upgrade during his reforging and he got gifted with a Lightning weapon which is the equivalent of a small nuke.
>>48309245
Sounds like a low to mid tier Hinduism weapon.
>>48309156
Calling it, Vandus willbattle Archaon to a standstill and free Thostos' soul
>>48309245
Sigmar's just taking the piss now.
So we know that Chaos has destroyed countless worlds and realities. Races and civilizations extinguished, not leaving behind even an echo of their passing.
Does this destruction serve some purpose? What do the Chaos Gods and Archaon get from all of this? All of it seems pointless.
>>48309421
It was funny
>implying Chaos needs a reason
>>48309465
No that's Destruction. Chaos is ruled by extremes and base desires and fears projected, and distorted, by mortals.
>>48309617
Actually, even destruction is puzzled by the pointlessness of Chaos's, well, destruction.
>‘The Hammer God misses his friend. He misses his brother. He misses fighting beside Gorkamorka and wishes to do so again, in the coming war,’ Zephacleas said. ‘He wishes that his warriors, and those of his brother, could march side-by-side, as we do now, to fight the Old Enemy.’
>‘Gorkamorka has been fighting them, hammer-boss,’ Gordrakk rumbled. ‘He’s been fighting them forever. But where is the Hammer God? Why has he not been fighting alongside Gorkamorka?’
>‘The Hammer God thought Gorkamorka didn’t want to fight beside him any more,’ Zephacleas said. ‘The Hammer God thought Gorkamorka had become his enemy.’
>Gordrakk laughed. ‘Yeah? So?’ He snorted and tapped the side of his head. ‘Hammer God never understood Gorkamorka, never saw. Gorkamorka wants to fight forever, but the Hammer God doesn’t. Hammer God wants to build walls and towers and castles... But what’s the point of that if you never knock them over?’ He snorted. ‘Even the Chaos-things don’t understand. They think the point is to kill everyone, but then who’d be there to fight? Nobody understands but Ironjawz, because we’re the smartest and the toughest.’
>Zephacleas stared at the orruk. Despite himself, he was beginning to comprehend how Gordrakk saw the world. For the orruks, there was no difference between an enemy and a friend. A friend was just an enemy you weren’t fighting at the moment, and an enemy was just a friend who was trying to kill you. He cocked his head, considering. Then, he said, ‘So? Why not show us?
-"Fury of Gork"
>>48309421
Chaos dosens have a goal outside of just toying around with the cosmos. They really don't care if they break their toys either, they will just get new ones.
>>48309661
> He cocked his head, considering. Then, he said, ‘So? Why not show us?
I like where this is going.
>>48308964
Smoke and skull on staff are both great. Cloak and horns could use some shading.
>>48309421
GW doesn't know the difference between chaos, destruction and evil.
They're shit writers mostly and the fact that you can have a united front of chaos or gods of specific facets of chaos is literally impossible given it's true nature.
In fact the idea that anything exists in the realm from moment to moment is also a stretch.
>>48307388
>Soon he will rise
So we must remove Seraphon before he awakens! please the corrupter and we shall be rewarded. .
>>48309839
If anything chaos should be less about evil and more about madness
>>48307153
There's not a single store in my local area that isn't winning Death.
>>48309839
They wanted the World of Warcraft audience initially.
Then realized 'oh fuck even axing Brets/TKs we can't just have spiky red guys versus Blue paladin guys'
And then just made four factions, even though 3 of them are 'evil'
But notice how Nagash is negotiable, and how the Strigoi ghouls mimic humanity and shit, much like all vampires. At any point GW can suddenly decide that it's Death/Order versus Chaos/Destruction
It probably will be after this season to level the playing field since it seems death has the weakest fanbase, with Order at the top.
>>48309421
Thats why the Horned Rat feels so awkward as Chaos God. The old four were basically emotions taken to an obsessive max. Horned Rat is... nothing kinda. It seems like the only Chaos god who couldn't give a rats ass about the great game and just wants its children to conquer the world(s) and be the only god around.
I really hope that Slannesh will come back and then a great sunderring will take place to split the Skaven from Chaos.
Even gameplay wise the Chaos gifts/artifacts you get in matched play feel awkward and not really skaven-ish at all.
>>48305930
Destruction bro!
Speaking of, wanna make a savage orc megaboss on maw crusha
To anyone who has one how easy would it be to convert one as im awful with green stuff
>>48310018
I just imagined slaanesh eating the horned rat, gaining the ability to reshape the skaven in her own image, perhaps even into a new animal
>>48309839
Yeah, GW hasn't written something remotely thoughtful in like a decade.
>>48309808
Thunder Waarg or weird porn?
>>48309055
Hey man, i don't suppose you have a picture you could post of that scheme? I'm looking for inspiration for my orruks at the moment too, i'm not a huge fan of the gw yellow and i feel like the red is abit much too.
>>48310043
Depends what you want to do with it. The model is pretty blocky, though, so in that sense it's not so bad.
>>48308964
Keep us updated bud, i want to see what he looks like with the bone work finished. The smoke looks great and the skin too.
Pretty much exact same situation as you, got 1 box of brutes arriving tommorow and i'm well excited to get started. In my teens i was one of those kids with an army of grey plastic. Not doing that this time round.
>>48310018
>Even gameplay wise the Chaos gifts/artifacts you get in matched play feel awkward and not really skaven-ish at all.
This.
Even the fluff is written to reflect how little chaos matters.
Skryre are hired guns and ferrymen and will just fuck over Chaos as a whole when the time is right.Sure that one Engineer pledged himself to Archaeon, but who wouldn't
Pestilens goes well out of it's way to give Nurgle the middle finger, as it should given how Pestilens in this new Canon doesn't even have the old Liber-Nurgle connection, priests pray to the Horned Rat and he rewards them, Nurgle doesn't do anything and every Verminlord corrupter wants to undermine their Unclean One counterparts
I wish we could have gotten a Battletome: Skaven and just break away from all this.
Skexit now.
>>48309808
Storm Waaagh.
I want orruks riding lightning wielding celestial lightning weapons they shouldn't, skull-fucking the ever living nightmares out of Chaos.
>>48310233
>Pestilens goes well out of it's way to give Nurgle the middle finger, as it should given how Pestilens in this new Canon doesn't even have the old Liber-Nurgle connection, priests pray to the Horned Rat and he rewards them, Nurgle doesn't do anything and every Verminlord corrupter wants to undermine their Unclean One counterparts
Actually, Pestilens is in a formal alliance with Nurgle. Skaven being Skaven, betrayals are unavoidable.

Man I really want to play AoS but everyone at my store just wines alot about GW and how much they hate them. Mean while they will still play 40k no problem. I gota ask, I've never actively gone to a GW store, I was considering playing there instead if it means seeing at least some people trying this. For those of you who play at GW stores would you say the ratio of 40k to AoS players is leaning too one side or the other? Or is your stores fairly balanced?
>>48310230
Same here, never had the patience of painting a full army back then. Now, with a family, kids and a full time job, I paint more than ever! Its strange how you produce more, the less time you have.
But I have really made my mind set, I will go in to AoS because of the models, and thus, I wont allow myself to waste good miniatures by not painting. Thats like getting a fraction of the value of what you pay for your models if you think about it. So every time I feel like "nah.. I need to put down the brush, watch some TV... " I repeat to myself "this model cost me £XX.XX" and then I pick up the pace again.

Indeed, Betrayal soon, as there is a huge conflict of interests and methods and goals here.
So what actually happened to Khaine?
Questions about the skaven:
1. Where did the great horned rat come from? The skaven were created by other chaos gods.
2. What is the second great withering and when was the first?
My first ever dryad is painted!
>>48310786
chaos gods are formed of latent psychic impressions coalescing into forms in the realm of chaos
slaneesh, khorne, tzeentch, and nurgle were formed by humans/elves/dwarves/etc.
the great horned rat was created from the untold numbers of skaven

Me and the other death players are winning some impossible battles at the store, last game we had a 2 v 5 where we were really badly outnumbered and managed to pull off a victory for death putting us in the lead over the destruction players, order doesn't have a single point here and chaos is tiny.
>>48310704
He died.
day 3 of the order train has no brakes?
>>48305806
do you have that art without the text?
>>48310909
Order got its first point at my local tonight. Chaos letting the side down, but Destruction is dominating the fuck out of my store so it's not a big deal.
>sylvaneth battletome mentions the Stormcast Knights of Excelsior
>>48311022
meaning what?
>>48311022
literally who cares
>>48310786
The Horned Rat has been described by GW as a mixture of Nurgle and Tzeentch. He like all gods survived the end times and brought his subjects with him, even brining their old captial city and elevating several worthy Skaven to Daemonhood.
After doing so and spreading his children across the moral realms during the Age of Myth some of his oldest Verminlords Corruptors and some 'newly' elevated ones retained the memories and teachings of Pestilens and the religion started anew.
The conclave of Rot was the very first congregation to form and were granted a vision from the Horned Rat himself that in order to see him rise to power they must gather the 13th Great plagues recorded in Liber tomes, this was the first Great Withering as the clan was given a goal, yet upon finding these tomes the various misinterpretations and gleamed ideals from the texts caused the Conclave to split and fracture into Three distinct factions within Pestilens, yet even they would split further during the age of Chaos when the mortal realms were ruined.
Currently seven of the Plagues have been discovered and by this point several hundred divisions of Clans Pestilens exist each believing in a specific way of existing, fighting, and worshiping their deity. Although not all clans agree on it the Second Withering is said to be taking place right now during the Age of Sigmar, half their work is complete.
The Third and final Withering or the Age of Corruption will come to be when each plague is gathered and conjured, with all 13 combined all Pestilens as a whole shall ascend to greatness, the Horned one will devour Sotek and Sigmar and rise above even his Chaos peers, he will embrace his true aspect (Corruption) All Skaven shall bow to Pestilens, all Non-skaven life will be destroyed, and the realms themselves shall rot for eternity.

My local blackshirt says AoS is slightly more popular but when I've been in I've seen 2 40k games and 1 2v2 AoS.
>>48311131
has gw ever toyed with the idea of a sub-four chaos gods acting as a mix of the true four?
like how MtG has blue, white, red, black, green, and then specific identities for colour mixes (green black for undeath, white blue for law)
could we have
nurgle-khorne for .. shit i dont know
i guess i didnt think this through
>>48311379
Well look up Malal, the God of Anti-Chaos. that's as close as it gets. he is no longer supported though.
>>48310491
AoS will be very popular during this month and next, you might as well go to a gw and at least do a beginners game
What's the best starter box? I like everyone except the slyvaneth and nurgle daemons.
>>48306780
The "popular view of the community" is that AoS is an irredeemable pile of crap thrown together by an intern on a lunch break. If you're here to discuss the game, you're already not part of the popular view.
>>48311502
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>48311461
Seraphon. Everything after the Carnosaur is free basically.
Also, mind showing me that Sylvaneth starter box? Because I'm still waiting for one to be released.
>>48310845
Looks good. If you want a more realistic wood effect, try working in a little grey bark.
>>48311502
So tell me, do you actually know anything about the game or have you actually paid attention and still hate it?
why do you hate the game?
>>48311545
I was trying to go for a very "swampy" look for the dryad, with a lot of sorta algae like green covering it's bark.

GW gotta rake in 'dem shekels, Durthu is cheap compared to the new Beetle Queen. Well now buy 3 of him.
Also it's only 6 damage if he's not lost 2 wounds, but still sounds like total bullshit. Unless he's VERY expensive in points
Anyone get the Season of War tokens from filling out the card yet? I need to paint 5 more warscrolls and win 3 more games.
>>48311639
tokens?
>>48311626
With a 2+ save, ignoring Rend -1, and a -1 Hit penalty it will be very difficult to damage Durthu.
Then any nearby wizard can cast Regrowth on him to heal D6....
>>48311652
>>48311626
and how many resources did you spend to make it happen? so you brought along two wizards to cast both regrowth and mystic shield? then person's just gotta go snipe the wizards. playing pitched battle? what point level? so you spent hero slots on wizards? etc, etc.
there's tradeoff stuff going on with this and it's not just as simple as the durthu there.
GAS THE CIVILISATIONS

Bonesplitterz are up for pre-order.
What do we think?
Hope they raise the Destruction score a bit.
>>48311578
Who the hell said I hate it? I said if you're here and not trolling, you're not part of the popular view on if.
>>48311827
I just don't see why you'd bother bringing it up otherwise.
>>48311580
Thats great, work with lots of vegitation when you do the base, and the miniature will just "pop" a notch, and really bind the two together.
>>48311744
Yeah this. i'm not the guy talking about him in a Vacuum.
Durthu himself cannot regen d3 wounds like some monsters can, assuming he is about 300-400 points then about 600 of your points could be 'wasted' on him and two buffing wizards.
He can deflect wounds put on his mages, but if he's babysitting them he's not in your lines fighting, same as if he's hiding in a forest. this is where unbinding comes into play to try and shut down his casting.
Finally, i wouldn't ever do it, but if someone does empower his shooting it can go wrong since it's d3 mortal wounds in his shooting phase. if he drops by 2-3 wounds and the enemy has the next turn, he can be taken down before any healing can be attempted.
>>48311626
>>48311587
>>48311652
And all of this for the low, low price of400 points, or in other words, 2 cannons/Rockets, with 40 points to spare. Throw in a third cannon, and a artillery detachment and he wont last a single turn.
>>48311587
>>48311652
>how the fuck is this balanced
Lesse, lesse
>Taking Briarsheath means not taking the Oaken Armour, which you could still use when tanking wounds for other Heroes
>taking a Command Trait means you're forced to make him your General, which means not getting the Ancient's excellent Command
>Regrowth and Mystic Shield can both fail and are once-per-turn in Matched
>you can only cast Regrowth once per friendly hero phase meaning there's a very limited amount of Wounds he can heal per turn
>you cannot "immediately" heal what you sacrifice for the shooting, as you sacrifice in the shooting phase, two phases after where you can heal
>impaling talon has to roll ABOVE, so max 5 wounds and even that is fucking unlikely
>you have to get those additional woods you want to teleport him into from somewhere
>he's four-fucking-hundred points. I could get Drycha and 10 Dryads for that
>his 3 attacks average out to 1 1/3 actually wounding attacks. Assuming the opponent doesn't succeed either of those saves, that's 8 Wounds, or to put it in a different way, not enough to kill even a fourth of his cost in Protectors, who will royally fuck his shit up afterwards
>>48311793
TASTY BEEF MAN
>>48311838
The guy said he wasn't sure about playing chaos because it wasn't popular.
Friend, you are playing Age of Sigmar. The last store tournament I attended for it had three other players. It's essentially impossible to find pickup games, because the vast majority hate it.
Point is, popularity does not enter into this. Go the hell ahead and play chaos.
>>48311814
Two wounds on cheap horde troops is potent, as is a functional 6++, and their general focus of 'fuck monsters' should make some armies wary of them.
That said, losing out on Rampaging Destroyers hurts.
>>48311652
Disregarding points, you still need to babysit him with two fragile wizards that can easily be sniped and severely cripple his ability on the field.
He is good, no doubt, but not as unparalleled as you paint him up to be.
>>48311607
dontknowthegame.jpg
>>48311934
Losing Rampaging Destroyers doesn't taste so bitter when your footsloggers move 6" and you get cavalry as Battleline. Still can't get over how powerful Boarboy Maniaks are, especially for their cost.

what size circular base do I need for one of these?
Are the battalions in the campaign books not getting points ? Can't find them in the scans unless I'm being blind. Kind of a shame.
>>48312131
It looks better on a square base.
>>48312158
Yeah but if I have that on one of those and the rest on circles, it'll look weird.
>>48312168
Well, it's big enough to fit four horses.
>>48312131
IIRC it was on 40*80 rectangular base, so 46*75 oval should do the job. If you insist on circular, go for 80.
>>48312220
50x100 according to the site.
>>48312248
Damn, right, it's Chariot base, not "double the Ogre base" so 52*90 oval or 100 circular.
No wonder nobody really played him when he can't even form Rank&File with the rest of the Ogres.
>>48312220
>>48312283
Doesn't have to be circular, just round, so oval works.
Thanks!
Okay, what the fuck, just checked the Season of War Map and Order's share is actually increasing.
It's over already, isn't it?
>>48312283
Nobody played him, because his schtick was to be played with Gorgers; which may have fucking awesome fluff, but were mediocre at best on the tabletop even with his buffs.
>>48312341
Do not worry.
GW would never disregard the actual results of their campaigns and just end up doing whatever the fuck they want.Storm of Chaos
>>48312220
What kind of bases do Skullcrushers come with? I still have mine on the old rectangle bases.Granted, I think rectangle looks better on cavalry..

Why do I play this army, again? You think 7th and 8th edition would have taught me to give up and embrace the faggotry of Archaon.

Because, fellow Beastmanon, beastmen are literally the GOAT
Thoughts on the verminlord corruptor?
>>48312643
Maybe we'll get lucky and get Gorthor Mk II, with an even bigger and more spendid rape chariot.
>>48312686
I think they get bullied for having hollow or broken horns
>>48312751
pls no bully rat
>>48312739
>Maybe we'll get lucky
Let's not kid ourselves, we're playing beastmen after all
We're lucky we still exist
Figure I would post this over here as well
I'm trying to pick out some primers to use for my beastmen, on the left I have GW's Mournfang Brown, while the one on the right is Army Painter's Fur Brown. What do you guys think looks better?
I also thought about using Mournfang brown on Bestigors or Bullgors to keep their fur tone separate from my rank and file Gors.
>>48312808
>filename
Those aren't Ogors.
>>48312808
Where can I get a rhinox hide primer?
>>48312686
The weakest Verminlord, but also the cheapest, so it evens out.
Obviously a Pestilens army leader, perfect general as they have either him or Skrolk to pick, both have strong unique command traits mind.
In combat he has many attacks yet no rend, avoid high armour and instead target multi-wound units, spread his many attacks and cast plague on tight groups. if you leave anything half-wounded by ANY of his offensive moves you should score a free mortal wound. Cast shield on himself, he is one of Two verminlords who can attempt 2 spells.
I love him, an auto include for Pestilens force, but in a more general Skaven army a warbringer or deceiver might be more useful for direct combat and simplicity
>>48312835
An airbrush is your best bet.
Is there any reason NOT to build a Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirster? Besides the (modest) increase in points during Matched Play? Seems like they just do everything better besides Insensate Rage's risky potential for silly amounts of mortal wounds.
>>48312853
So don't use plague and bolt in one turn? Do I use him near my frontline?
>>48312888
Yeah front-line unit for sure, he's got to do some fighting, but needs to know what to engage. i love using Plague but i generally cast Shield first and then see what else is needed. plague won't do much versus say Ogres, and if a hero comes to challenge him you'll want the mystic bolts. it's easy to forget he can retreat if needed.
He might not go down so easy but it's possible that he waste his efforts slashing at something with a 3+ save that he'll never take down. He could drown a 5+ save monster like a Chimera or Giant in attacks sure, i'd attempt that.
How is Slaanesh doing? Still alive?
Is there any word on when Stormcast are getting more models?
>>48313000
Most likely being given a Clockwork Orange treatment where he is brainwashed into being a perfect model citizen.
>>48313027
Stormcast aren't getting shit for a good long while.
Savage Orc repackage, new Ogors and new Tzeentch are next.
>>48313027
I wouldn't bet on anything new coming their way for a while. The Freeguilders are probably more likely to get a book before they do.
Any good battleline for a Tzeentchy army besides Horrors? Got two units and I'm looking to expand for 2k, but don't really want a third unit.
>>48313059
>Most likely being given a Clockwork Orange treatment where he is brainwashed into being a perfect model citizen.
It's that bad?
So one of the Seeds of Hope is being powered by "Realm Stone" that's unstable but can be used for power.
This is wind of magic Warp Stone and we all know it right?
