#Warhammer and Such

I do think melee and blast weapons at the very least should get spillover in 40k
I also have heard that AoS is generally less lethal than 40k?
Clearing hordes is certainly not that hard in 40k
Yes and no. Things like mortal wounds are more common but so are feel no pain rolls. Armour values are lower in general, getting a 2+ save in AOS without some major investment of command points or a buff piece is rare. But also as I've stated damage values are lower in AOS too. So some matchups like nurgle into giants is low lethality while something like orks into beastmen will wrap up in an hour
+1 to save is both a universal stratagem and a universal spell but when only one unit a turn can receive them, sure that unit is going to be tanky but the rest of your units that are engaged or shot at are gonna feel the pain
So you can end up with a key fight on a primary objective being low lethality while the units going for a secondary objective are in a blood bath because all the strategic resources got funneled into a single unit trying to hold a point
Something else worth noting is while dev wounds type rules are more common, lethal hits is basically non existent outside of nighthaunt
40k has these pockets of hyper lethal matchups because so many armies have easy access to lethal hits options

lmao
Look, the important part is they either sat on a backline objective or accomplished some secondary
haha yeah
Mark of tzeentch cultists go brrr

Iiiiiinteresting
Lookin' good! It seems tricky to do a dynamic pose with dreads and you nailed ot
As soon as I touched their sprues, I was inflicted with malign inspiration and the path was clear to me
though the left one's hand was a bit of a compromise since I did want the arm to be raised higher

which one of the chaos gods is the best one at swearing?
I struggle to imagine any of them having a decisive edge
Slaanesh also indulges in edging
Tzeentch would drop excessively wordy and weird insults not unlike Cio.
since slaneesh likes to make people sad they are probably good at swearing
THOU FOWL STRUMPET!
We’re reorganizing ladies and gentlemen, my models and various painting supplies are no longer in a shoebox
Tzeetch would drop those insults that gamers develop when they are watched by AI moderators
I wonder what sort of stuff that ghouls will get, they need more stuff
I like the new justice character, the courts need sone new battle line units though
At present they are the worst GW line imho
thats they fyreslayers for me lol
but were likely getting at least the summer king
i also desperately want skaven and beastmen to get some love ngl lol
the flipside of this is that aos single model units bracket much harder even now, and originally pretty much all bracketed like every other wound. compared to 40k there's a lot smaller a difference in nails, not just the hammers
attacks vs damage is much more about buff priority (eg +attacks from a command unit vs +damage from flaming weapon)
Those at least have magmadoroths
I feel like tzeentch insults are the kind you hear and are unaffected by but upon later reflection, they make you do "Hey wait a minute"
tzeentch insults you for things you haven't even done yet
Tzeentch reveals that they were actually your father
tzeentch be like zoom or reverse flash with the It Was Me Barry™️ moments
I’d bet that flesh eaters will get Sumerking the lord of masks
saw a caiphas cain book on sale but it's like the 5th book or something...
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/11/14/the-rumour-engine-14th-november-2023/ whatever you this is, I like it
It looks very votann Ngl
If memory serves that looks like their style of bionic arm
As ref
It has similar grooves and etc
Also the kill team had a similar looking mine
Another example of a kin bionic
Oh that would make sense
So maybe it's some kinda sapper unit
Sounds plausible! Or maybe just a Bomb Guy tucked into a larger unit
Sapper would be a fun parallel to the miners in fantasy Ngl
What if one of their jump pack guys can just rain charges on someone lol
I could see it yeah
I just like the idea is more than one new unit lol
Cuz we know jump troops are coming
they're like
shaped charges
they only really blow up a specific thing like you stick it on an engine
but otherwise it's like a meltagun for close combat that you can carry maglocked
will absolutely mulch anyone if you can get it to stick to them tho
Yeah bombs are melee weapons
That was another guess but I'm not so sure
don't tell me these are cheek guns
Mandiblasters
that's so silly 
just like real scorpions have 😌
It's very likely lov lol
Like the way the hand and mine look are nearly one to one to stuff in their kill team lol
"Whaaaaat!?"
Jee I wonder what were gonna see from old world lol
my belthanos arrived and blimmin royal mail didn't tell me
was just sitting in the rain 😭
Wet bug...
Rip
the box itself is fine thankfully
Nice
DRY BUG!!!
do Skaven like cheese
In theory they like anything that's edible
And less edible in the case of warp stone lol
tfw I sign on with the rebellion in some city called atoma
Tbh it must be pretty discouraging to lose literally hundreds of trained heretical guardsmen to groups of 4 nigh unkillable Inquisitorial agents referred to as "Rejects". I'd sigh too
If there's one thing I hate about making my chorfs is cutting off the circular base they're on.
Stupid little plastic circles I need a saw to get through.

Making a 10-man unit of blunderbuss dudes.
I got about...13 more left that I dunno if I want to make another unit of 10, or use'em as weapon teams.
She's back
What… what are those?
melta bombs 😌
Ohhhh
takes a special someone to consider their primary weapon melta bombs
Tbh a lov sapper team with one dorf just running with bombs would be funny
lol
Oh anyone here familiar with tau lists?
Bagpipes intensify
only a bit, but havent been looking hard at current comp stuff, why?
sylvaneth are so good
made a scythe kurnoth and a spiterider and they're just so cool
They're pretty cool
kinda think it would be fun to model up claw arms for the kurnoth to be dreadwood kurnothi
My brother is hoping that we see tk stuff
tomb kings
ahhh ok

what are the early thoughts on this game?
oo
im actually rather interested
might be a very tactile way for me to learn about the age of sigmar
we absolutely are going to lol
like the most recent image post about the previews had sand, scarabs, and skeleton hands lol
so unless they pull the worlds most massive gotcha and announce a new death faction for aos its gonna be tik lol
I’m excited for the Kroot stuff :)
that would be weird
it also made me laugh
wait if a space marine is a gorilla what's an ork
A gorilla with a machine gun.
Dakka
Kroot and a single necromunda character model is best guess
Some like weirdly specific character that will have absolutely awful rules and look rad
Oh and the enforcers Taurus
can i be the kroot who has a gun emplacement on a monkey?
when youre a kroot half of the ecosystem is other kroot
like if your great grandma was a bird
and your uncle was a gorilla
nah it is more like cousins
but your great grandma might've had wings and your uncle might've been big and green
man... I like where my 30k list plan is at but I realize I don't really have any efficient backline scorers
I could strip one of my breacher squads down so they're not wasting points back there but I want my cool shield wall up front
what legion?
I really like the Nightlords color scheme
isnt that just the regular nightlords scheme?
big fan of the chaos nundams
think they work better than the loyalist ones actually
Ultramarines.
Whats the Chaos one?
the one pictured
yeah the nuns already have the penitent engine
and that has basically the same shape but more scrungle
actually damn comparing the two models now why did they get a second walker unit?
to go with morvehn vahl prolly
and she's probably partially a reimagining of karazmov
that would be such a disservice to the source material
just look at this lad
need to finish mine
Vahl on a war throne would be fucking rad as hell
i do think her missile launchers give a much improved silhouette to the war suit however
i really like vahls model ngl lol
but in general i like the warsuits
theyre a fun like other side of the coin to the engines imo
weirdo scrunglo torment nexus walker vs like knightly nun exo suits
yeah i can get that
bit like the gravis and terminator kits i suppose
even if all the gravis kits are spread out over like 5 boxes
sorta i spose lol
I don't know what I am looking at but it looks cool
Progress on Kairos. I'm hoping to finish him by the weekend for a tournament
Kairo's is cool, it's a shame that tzaangors and kairic acolytes don't appeal to me since I usually really like tzeentch
although given how expensive GW stuff is, if I get another army alongisde my GSC (who are a money pit in themselves) I'd probably look at Malifaux or Bushido
I like kairics and thought tzaangors where neat until I actually handled the models. I'd be down for more shit in the kairic style. Unlike the other 3 gods tzeentch kinda lacks visual consistency across their mortal range
Tzeentch needs a elite mortal unit in my opinion
They're the only faction that lacks one unless you count tzaangor enlightened
Gimme doom knights or armoured wizard freaks like the curseling
The enlightened do look pretty cool

Ty 🙂
Tall enough to box stiltman
this feels like its using a historical photo as a ref and i cant tell if thats just my brain imagining it
its like in this uncanny valley of almost feeling cursed but not
What're some good sources for clawed hands? The new genestealer kit is nice-looking but I wanna open my options a bit
Something that'd fit on an Eightbound, so preferably pronounced
hmm ngl nothing other than maybe some sylvaneth models? is really coming to mind
maybe theres something in aos chaos that could work too
but not sure
anyone pick up the new AOS RTS?
Don't actually do this but the Clawed Fiend miniature comes to mind
get any hands on experience with it?
It looks neat
The IGN review was extremely funny to me but I might pick it up when I have less backlog
ive tacked it on to my steam wish list but don't think its in my soon-to-buy horizon
I plan to
it seems fine. but gives me like bizarre we have dawn of war at home vibes which i know is maybe unfair to it but eh
but i find it appealing as someone not really IN the aos lore, as a bridge into it a lot like Dawn of War was way way back
like it seems well designed and etc
but something with the 3d models and animation doesnt grab me personally all that much
its almost like dawn of war if dawn of war took itself serious? i guess?
which isnt inherently bad in anyway tbh
im now curious what it said lol
Im actually a big fan of AoS and 3 of the factions so Im fairly excited for it
i like aos too
i also feel like seeing the models and factions in motion would be cool for me, in terms of like gelling
what i see
like this is very much not like a "fuck aos" sorta thing to be clear lol
and setting expectations
Ye ye, there are def some more things out of AoS I'd like to see more of but generally I think its a fun setting an absolutely gorgeous model line overall
if Warhammer Fantasy/40K are punk & death metal, then Age of Sigmar is Imagine Dragons.
The funny part of it
Ye
like one hundread and ten percent
I think the reviewer is actually a jilted whfb fan and it SHOWS
For sure, it's def like high octaine shit thats cool because it's cool
like it literally constantly reminds me of the sorta art youd see on like vans in like shit set in the eighties
where its like a wizard with a guitar and lightning behind them
while i still hold that pain and salt in my heart thats definitely silly
especially considering oldhammer is not punk or death metal
its for sure that kinda shit
Some goober guitar noodling while a man with big hair screams about fighting evil wizards (see gloryhammer)
well i wont use gloryhammer as example cuz as memory serves theres some shit going on there. but yeah like its unleash the archers style shit or etc
Battle beast then
like im definitely to a degree a snubbed fantasy fan and have quibbles with aos. but aos is still really cool in a variety of ways lol
I feel like this is AOS
no yeah exactly
thats like legit what i was saying prior lol
but yeah aos gave me kharadron and gloomspite
which are some of my fave like dorf and gobo things
I'm sorry but this feels strangely relevant
wheres the token lion roar or the red hawk sound mixed into the explosion
Pain
Yeah any lingering dislike I have is just AoS being instead of the game I like
On its own AoS is amazing, its just pure powermetal fantasy
Every new unit I see is the dopest shit
How grim dark was Warhammer Fantasy Battle?
it varies
like allot
not that grim dark on average though tbh
like its more like grimey than grim imo
i think the darkest it gets is like the mark of chaos cinematic
which is great imo

#Warhammer: #Mark of Chaos. 2006. Dark #medieval #fantasy strategy game in Warhammer Fantasy Battles world.
Enhanced and upscaled to #4k - #2160p #UHD.
This is my first 4k video and it took 5 hours of enhancing AI to make. Topaz Video Enhance AI.
There is no escape from Youtube compression, i...
it was as grim dark as a medieval-ish setting where the monsters in the woods are real might be; which is to say both grim and dark, but not really super duper grimdark
the grimdark nature of the fantasy setting had a lot more to do with chaos and the forces of undeath eroded at the empire; but until the End Times, it was largey a net neutral rather than "Everything is actually fucked and you're watching the bloated corpse rot"
It's not really a "grimdark" setting like 40k is, which I think is kind of how it gets conflated
Since a lot of people (including me in the past) get introduced to warhammer via 40k and read fantasy as "the fantasy version of 40k" which implies a lot of stuff about it which isn't true
like it still kinda sucks to be an imperial peasant sure, but it doesn't suck like it does being an Imperial Hive factory worker
also it sucks less to be an imperial peasant than it does to be a brettonian peasant
yehp
also a big thing is there are like legitimate heroes and "good guys" in oldhammer
like in vermintide everyone but saltspyre is a good guy more or less lol
While in darktide everyone is bad except for like, one of the zealots maybe and the loner psyker who hasn't done anything wrong ever
In Warhammer almost all the best people ARE in charge
Karl Franz and Louen Leoncour are the actually shining paragons who's main failings are an inability to address the status quo because The World Is On Fire
WHFB wasn't anywhere near as grim or as dark as people thought it was. The RPG sure was, but the actual wargame? Eeeeeh not really.
Like 6th and 7th were notably darker in art and tone compared to previous editions, and even like half of 8th ed. But that coincided with 40k also getting more grim n' gritty, which it has stayed a lot more consistent with that tone.
like another could like gauge of the vibe is river trolls attack people by vomiting at them lol
its a setting that isn't overall grimdark till the end times, but a setting that has grim dark moments, might be a summary i go with
40k is much more grim dark
it also very much depends on who you are and where you are lol

Warhammer Fantasy was always a medieval pastiche setting
so you have french/english bretonnians talking about peasants and making monty python references while also being a horrible grim's fairy tales land
or the empire being Very German Provinces
Kislevs are just russian
dwarves have an event called The War Of The Beard
and hold grudges and avenge grudges but every time they avenge grudges they have more grudges for the people who got killed avenging the previous grudges...
so it was grim but always leavened with a kind of side eye humor
that 40k gradually lost
Bretonian peasants are promised a single copper coin :^)
And every single dwarf lore entry is someone complaining that things used to be better in the old days
Warhammer Fantasy wasn't satire but it was, a lot of the time, parody.
Which at times played things completely straight and did it fucking sick as hell a lot of the times when it did.
i imagine inviting a custodes to my tea party would be kinda rough
no way their name would fit inside the invitation...

You know, the imperial fists urge to build defenses even when attacking is something I can identify with
Imperial fists fight the same way I do in RTSs (I am bad at rts's though)
considering buying just like, a a breacher squad and then maybe a crisis to paint up for solely modeling purposes (i really dont think i could get into this game unless it had alternating activations, and even then mechanically its not really what i want).
does anyone have recommendations of what hobbyist tools to have starting out painting and assembling?
Like really really starting out?
Some brushes, some paper towel, a mug for paint water, a shoe box for priming/spraying
Maybe a lamp
never painted a model before, wants to get basic stuff to make a few models and see how they like it.
sprue clipper and a file/sanding board, hobby knife
what grit?
You can get real deep into the many many accessories and "must haves" but like, you can get by with a lot less than super hobbyists will tell you
Personally I'd pick up like a basic modeling kit, a set of cheap brushes, and some kind of directional light
that's a really cool scheme
Something as cheap as this even
https://a.co/d/cHx03Ys
Are you looking for a basic model kit tool set to quick start a new hobby? Are you stressed that your teens have too much cell phone and screen time? This nifty and reliable model building tools kit might be the solution. With almost all expert gear and core items, this high-quality hobby tools a...
good question, I have no idea. any small hobby file will work and then I use a nail filing board lol
Another 10 bucks would net you some basic modeling brushes
And if push comes to shove you can get by without a proper table lamp
yeee something like this is what i started off with and it's been working great
The thing I usual advise is like... it's really easy to over invest and get lost in the product rabbit hole, but if you're just starting its usually better to pay less, make do with a limited tool set and discover what your wants are and establish good habits
is there anything to know keeping care of brushes for acrylic paint? like obvs wash them off but.
That's the long and short of it. Keep em wet while using, properly wash when done. Dry properly too
Another note, Tau models also have a lot of flat mechanical surfaces where people note that trying to get a clean even coat by hand is a pain in the butt, and prefer airbrushing them
Don't overload the brush with paint enough that it dries into the mud
don't overload them with paint so much that it goes up into the ferrule (the metal part)
beat me to it lol
I do personally consider an airbrush a luxury pick rather than a basic one fwiw
I haven't done Tau models myself, I've just heard it as a common complaint
Yeah an airbrush is not really an entry level thing
What I did when starting off was I went with like a super cheap pack of synthetic brushes since I've never painted before and didn't want to worry too much about accidentally destroying them 😄
but if you take care of them they'll last quite a while and will still be useful even if you move onto better brushes
Heck, ruined brushes have their uses lol
(also cheap makeup brushes make great dry brushes)
im thinking
-basic brush and hobbyist set
-tau strike squad
-basic paint set to be determined when i figure out the color scheme
use that to practice painting and see how i like it, then move up to crisis suits, then maybe like a coldstar or broadside, thinking in terms of what would make a cool model to display, which is part of what draws me to tau: models that arent overly large but still are large enough to make good displays.
I guess more a warning not to expect that perfect white or tan coat on your first time
yeah some colors are very tricky, you can use the sprue to kinda test them out and practice and get a feel for how they look
Will also need some kind of glue, you can get citadel plastic glue or some plain old super glue with a fine applicator
im thinking of going like, grey with navy blue accents.
ah yeah, there's two types of glue, plastic glue melts and bonds the pieces together and then super glue is super glue, both have their uses
YouTube and online tutorials will be your friend, but also sing be afraid to experiment and mess up
Don't be afraid*
You'll find a flow that works for you and you can develop and refine it over time
ive watched some hobbying videos and saw plastic and superglue, It seemed like plastic glue was only for large builds bearing a lot of force.
I honestly use it for everything I can, the fact that it melts the pieces together means there's less risk of leaving a gap or joint between them
but it also means if you mess up you can't just throw the model in the freezer for a bit to get the super glue brittle and snap the part off 😄
A basic bit of advice also
- use thin paint coats. It'll take longer and more coats, but allows you to correct mistakes and layer
- debatable, but work from dark colors to light.
- load the brush lightly and frequently rather than heavily and rarely, a little goes a long way
i dont think ive ever heard of plastic glue being load bearing
oh my last thought is if you're doing one main color, using a spray rattlecan primer in that color will save you a ton of work
Oh this is both a joke and advice, don't drink the paint water
granted all the big models are resin so not something that usually comes up
its good with a little bourbon
I've come really close more than once
tea and paint water mugs next to each other, got it.
I've also ruined a drink by mentally farting and dunking my brush on it
I got to sleep but I wish you luck on your target. Remember, start cheap, it makes mistakes cheaper to fix.
Many tools will serve multiple purposes early on that yes, there are specific tools out there that can do some of those things better, but don't worry about it.
Test various hand and grip positions for your brushes, you'll absolutely tire out your hand and wrist frequently, this is normal
space marines are also super cool, and for the same price and number of models i get larger bodies to work on than fire warriors. tempted to go there first as a "practice squad".
Also little fun fact, you can play kill team with a basic fire warrior strike Team. They're not meta or anything, but it means you have a format you can play even with just one squad
You can do either, pick up models you like, really
Firewarriors suck to paint, as someone who started with tau
Especially with white armor
what made them particularly bad?
It can be tricky to get the lenses and cloth and lines on the armor in a good looking way
I don't think they're super hard to paint, though white in general is pretty hard
i have a dumb list im gonna use
Angron - warlord
Khorne lord of skulls default profiles
Bloodthirster with greataxe of khorne
2x War dog Karnivores
That seems like only 1500 pts, are you taking two Khorne Lords of Skulls?
Honestly, can still be a good pick
Caiphas as I remember is not that linear
It would still be Cain being a heroic wuss with imposter syndrome, Jorgan with his Melta and the Inquisitor putting Cain into more dangerous situations
oh no
10th book actually, but good to know!
We need more Cain stories honestly.
As in, a pinch of humor in the grimdarkness
Fire Warriors were my first models and they didn't give me too much grief, it can be a little tricky to tell what part of their legs is fabric/armor/skin but me accidentally giving all my guys shorts wasn't like, an actual problem
Space Marines are a solid intro tho, can't hurt to get a couple if you think it'll be fun
Jee I wonder what faction this could be referencing lol
Very curious about what we're gonna see for just about every game
I suspect it's gonna be fec mostly for aos, tk for old world, and rumors as I recall point to eldar for 40k
As for the skirmish games I feel that's a big toss up lol
Heresy is apparently expecting a New Army so that could mean a whole lot of things
All the Solar Auxilia stuff for LI makes me wonder if they could be lined up for scaled-up plastic too
Ghouls and tomb kings are obviously going to be the stars of the show
Excited for the celestine statue the article mentions
Wonder how much it'll cost (too much lmao)
Lol yeah
It'll be cool to see the celestine one
I hope they go more for the vibe she has in the art Ngl
cock
Mood
Poor bastard
You didn't sinned your wallet
You fucking EXTERMINATUS it
Still a great scene from DoW2
I have big-brained a blunderbuss conversion

In response to this
Looks like we're gonna see DA in some capacity
or the fallen 
No you see that's actually the bottom half of a gear and we're getting Ferrus Manus returned
Now with pop-on head action!
Lol
I mean considering the recent lore that's sorta same difference
Also that armor is greenlol
Which isn't often what fallen/risen armor is colored
oh my dreams of Daemon Prince Luther once again crushed 
I'm not sure he'd go the prince route.
He still seems obsessed with forgiveness and becoming a daemon prince is the exact opposite.
oh to live in the universe where "Luther amassing a legion of Fallen" ended with "codex: fallen" instead of "threat gone because of Primarch" 🥺
anyway, guess they might show a deathwing upgrade spure for the new termies?
maybe they will be nurgle fallen 
hope the necromunda thing is pit slaves so I can get some good servitor bits
Yeah he like forsaked the gods near the end of their fight
Yeah, as I recall, Uther was the chaos classic "Oh god I am 0.1 second to die and I regret everything, The chaos gods were using me, there is no Daemonussy"
Lol
It was ultimately him realizing he was about to merc his not son I feel
It's very Arthurian in vibe imo
So
very fitting
I wonder what the chances are that they would bring back more parts of the Hexagrammaton now that the Lion is back 
It's a cool symbol
It's possible
In hoping for like a risen unit
Or kill team
Maybe scale updates for some of the DA unique units too
dark angels vs fallen kill team box (both teams are identical except for colour)
Risen rep would be cool and make my current DA idea even easier to do lol
manus gost

ferrus manus as a ghost spelled without "h"
funny to see them fighting Fists, the dwarfiest of Space Marines
i imagine even for a kin warhost, a space marine combat detachment is no small matter
you can also see the subtext, "Defiance burned in their eyes" Because now they knew they had to fortify and hold until reinforcements arrived
im imagining a fighting imperial fist retreat actually looks like repeated earthworks bunkers built almost out of thin air, then abandoned; so from orbit you can see a daisy chain of fortified positions following their retreat path
It feels ironic to have a video game tie in statue miniature for warhammer haha
must be hard to retreat rapidly with a firestrike servo turret's movement speed
I also like getting a sense of how Kronus Hegemony fights, pulling sneaky tricks to make their aggression look justifiable
Not positive what they stand to gain from this tho
Ah ok
is the kronus hegemony the one that resolves every argument with a fight
even with other kin?
Depends tbh. Cuz the kin also made a joke out of one of the arks of omen lol
Yes
It's why they also sorta just baited the marines into a fight
They gotta meet their literal conquest quota lol
And against the least dorf of the space dorfs lol
SM deserve to get jobbed every so often; but also i don't think anyone gets to take SM lightly in the warhammer universe
they could, however, get jobbed more often
and i wouldn't mind
it IS a bit weird when normal SM job like other more elite imperial factions like custodes or gk tho
I mean in fairness the kin take no one lightly lol
Can fortifications gain xp in crusade? I presume not
only if you have Dorn on the field /j
In 10th I'm fairly certain "yes"
Do you think the iron halo doohickeys from the Age of Darkness Praetors would read as vexiliae if I put them on some random troopers?
At least I assume they're meant to be iron halos
Feels very fist, also feels like it might be under utilizing the Detachment feature
But also 10 hefty intercessors is a solid firebase
Niceee
Clearly fighting over that pet food in the background.
yeaaah love those sorts of terrain

ayy iybraesil fan art
hell yeah
so apparently an upcoming lov vs crons short story got listed on a site somewhere lol
its a bit funny to have necrons being the side fighting desperately for survival
so often its the other way with necrons
oh fuck that's awesome
ye. its the first time ive seen the like painted finished product of one of those conversions
and it's going steppy
lol yeah
I'm curious what the instigator of their conflict will be. I can understand Kin waking up necrons with their mining, but a void battle?
Could be an asteroid with no atmosphere, and which spills out into a ship.
Do yall think the carchardons got primaris reinforcements by now?
I feel like carch rievers on boarding actions is a vibe
its simple really
Iirc don't kin consider necron tombs high risk/ high reward endeavors
Like they like pilfering necron stuff
they do likely have a bunch of unique substances and minerals i imagine
i love how the LoV have shifted from "aye stout and strong miners and craftsmen" to actual criminals
i guess?
blowin up populated planets for money puts you up there in the crime list
i mean that was stated as something they might do in the dex
so idk how its really a shift lol
ah
tbh i feel its allot of like dawi sensibilities just run through the 40k filter lol
still find it hilarious people made so much fuss over them not being "grimdark" enough
people say that about anything not covered in skulls
people say that about anything
true
still like i was/am in the lov discord and like there was so much stink of that with it just sorta hitting a wall of people like me going "have you like not read any of this lore?"
and just us going "the votann are all slowly basically going crazy and the leagues like are willing to eat planets"
and it sorta ultimately just boiled down to allot of brainless iom fan noises lol
god i just want people to look at the eldar line when i hear people say this or that aint "grimdark"
my man they have murder clowns
exactly
that was another point we often brought up
and was usually just ignored by those folks as they just went "wer skuhls"
I can see some especially edgy kin taking trophies from settled grudges
not like Night Lords nasty but maybe like, a skull rack like the CSM terminators
in theory thats not too out of like the lore norms established for the lov
especially if a grudge is involved
theyd likely get them like put on a plaque or what have you
picturing a champion with a big ol nid skull strapped to their sheild
actually it's fun to picture a Kahl or someone being kind of a big game hunter about it, got a warboss's head in his study
i can only hope the next votann units have got that cthonian vibe
those beserkers almost got me collecting
yeah it would be cool to have different aesthetic threads within the range
More progress. Still a lot of detail work to go but he's table ready
Hahaha
Weird image
Didn't want to upload
The Thai list for the world championship
Well it's the Malaysian ticket but still hahah
He did just get outscored by 150 jackals
That's kinda the uneviable fate of a list that vehicle heavy
I do fuck with the triple Manticore tho
I think a crisis block unguided can reliably wipe out 2 units of Jack's a turn
Hmmmm
No it's 7
I cripple 2 units a turn not kill sadly
9 or 1p
Undercharged i kill 11 or 12
Hmmmm
is a chess club a potential tzeenchian cult?
Most Tzeenchians prolly think chess is basic

tzeentch worshippers hang out outside chess clubs looking for people to recruit and be like chess is good but have you heard of chess 2
Dorns aiui are generally considered pretty decent
How is underworlds as a game?
It's problems are on the gw end more than the game end
Elaborate?
underworlds is fun
best models gw has
order based activations in alternating order. everyone gets 4 orders per round over three rounds
it's got the ccg problem kinda of requiring you to buy everything to have a complete collection and make the ideal decks but they're moving away from that with the more recent formats
objective hands are pretty cool. compared to kill team and warcry you're a lot more focused on what you need to do in the moment than overall in a way
a lot of variety in how teams play and team sizes
esepcially in more recent teams who all have a unique mechanic for their warband cards
also games are really quick once you're into the game. like 30 minutes. so standard matches are best of 3 games
Oh those helmets look dope
they look like the blightlord ones a little
or I meant typhus'
idk I just threw out a random nurgle word lol
Lol
Valid lol
As someone planning out some risen I'm happy lol
Agreed lol
It's like a weird mix of termy mks
The hood makes the head look so smol
I love the hooded termie heads da get Ngl
Cuz so much of it gets obscured
So it just looks weird and kinda creepy
I always sit in two minds about termi armor knight vibes; because it often looks as though the termie armor lacks the rom to actually use a sword with any acuity; but also its very fitting as like a heavy plate analogue and looks sick
i suppose also there are specific models, like logan grimnar with his axe out behind him, that suggest a greater rom
I never really think about logistics with warhammer lol
thats a blessing im mildly envious of, but also makes perfect sense when thinking about em
Just whether it looks cool/fun is my sniff test lol
i do also think that hte newer termies look a lot more.. mobile?
not like "scratch their back" mobile, but like "can raise their hand above shoulder height"
Like I totally get fussy with logistics in other things here and there
But I've come to the point of understanding warhammer really shouldn't be one of those things imo lol
my little detail brain gets caught up on like two major things; billboard design and swordy stuff in fiction
I think it helps that I've grown a fondness for retrohammer stuff
i feel like to an extent, learning more about swordfighting now requires me to turn that side of my brain off conciously or fictional sword stuff is a snagging point
And growing out of a need for things I like to be taken seriously or etc
I have that too with other stuff
I can get really fussy about armor
And weapons
Just I've sorta learned a bit of like time and place with some stuff
And recognizing when something is just trying to be silly and fun
But hell I still fuss about sob armor sometimes
a funny bit that doesn't bother me but constantly occurs to me is warhammers in fiction being effectively sledgehammers or larger
though i was pleased to see a cos model with a normal warhammer relatively recently
That's never bothered me cuz I love how it looks lol
Like its part of the warrior priests still live rent free in my head
i do share how the mark of chaos priest of sigmar trailer lives rent free in my head
That cinematic is still my fave warhammer animation lol
it was one of the earliest encounters i had with warhammer fantasy
and suffice to say it lives with me
I go back and watch it occassionally
Same
Oh nice new DW
I never cared for the last generation of DW terminator sculpts so this is very welcome
They look good too
Yeah I quite like the look of these
Mm mm
i thought i saw that on harddrive first lol
I swear they've made the same joke before
Found out some Heresy narrative events make you reserve Primarchs so there aren't multiples running around and I'm charmed by the idea
My brother and I both have underworld teams we like (thricefold discord and Ephilims unknowables for me and the skeleton king faction for him)however all three of those are in starter sets alongside stuff we’re less interested in
found out that in Horus Heresy's ally matrix the Night Lords and Death Guard are battle-besties and I don't know what's more appealing as an army concept, the nastiest scariest traitors possible or a duo that somehow brings out the best in each other
you might be able to get individual models + cards on ebay
but worth getting a starter or two anyway for boards and tokens
n dice
n universal decks if you wanna play nemesis
Update! I found a combo that would almost be disgusting but I think is impossible
Death Guard have that ROW for turning large portions of the board into Dangerous Terrain, Night Lords have a ROW for fielding five proxy-warlords whose units deal with difficult and dangerous terrain better. But the latter needs to be the primary detachment and the former needs a Siege Breaker, which would take up their one ally HQ slot and thus prevent them from taking ROW.
What's a good source of learning the broad trends of Age of Sigmar lore?
I'm more familiar with the Old World.
wish i could recommend the warhammer TV lore vids, but i don't know if those are free
I suppose I could grab a year's subscription.... eventually.
There's probably a good YouTube channel or two out there but I don't know any by name
Unde i think knows who the artist is, but i feel its time again to share a bunch of Eddy's warhammer art here
https://eddygonzlezdvila.artstation.com/projects/LRmbav
I fuckin love this one
man they've really mutated over the years huh
cw for like preview spoilers for this one. but yeah taken from the leaks channel on the lov discord
ngl its a cool ass model
@dense sedge youre the only one i know to ping for this lol
so in 10th edition do tau drones have any function beyond the static ability you give?
nope
just tokens to show upgrades other than the tac drone squad which is very overcosted
so theres no reason to have them as models on the table beyond visual indicatiors (Which isn't even super neccasary since like, detachment enhancements have no visual signal).
?
“What you see is what you get” rules might require drones, check with whoever is running the crusade/tournament/whatever
(ymmv - your mileage may vary)
He looks like he’s from Kingdom Death, I love it
Probably one of yhe best ones that get across the "monstrous nobility" vibe
yeah
also previews starting soon
and so it begins
And plad too
poor trazyn
I think the plad is what takes it from "frat bro's first job interview" to "most british outfit ever devised"
left in the dust
looking at the silhouettes on the community site, it looks like saurus might be getting something
yeah, that would checks
also ngl new orikan would look great in my homebrew cron concept
he even sorta looks like a snake/cobra
Yhe crons have some fineass models these days
lol yeah
i bet this is asmodeus
asmodai
i should say
ohhoooo
thats a good ass model
fuck yeah
The pariah are still my favorite models of theirs but that's mostly nostalgia
oh I quite like it
Asmodai without the hood is like Vegeta with the facial hair: it feels wrong.
I just like the lil spike-studs
really well done asmodai though
the smoke is mmmmwah
Oh right it's just this piece of art.
lol yeah
aka the most fuckin' 40k thing
ayyy
its the terms
these may be my fave termie models now
love the hooded heads ngl
also that watcher in the dark fucks
all the head options on these guys are great
def
fuck yeah they can al lhave hoods
hell yeah
peak DA termies
i really like the maces
watcher in the dark will smoke you out
squints at the redacted
i cant tell if thats a new thing or them just not having decided on that yet
here come the ghouls
saw this coming and am quite excited
THAT KING LOOKS DOPE AS HELL
tbh the newer models may have them added to my interest list
cuz they look pretty darn good
I have a long interest list for AoS
i guess its a new elite unit
cuz they have actual swords lol
also omfg we have lady ghouls
halberd guys seem neat, I hope they're battleline since they need those
i see those saggers gw you cant hide them
thse bat things faces are great
oh i fucking love this model
I love how they're commiting to the bit
ten out of ten on that fucker
and lol yeah
damn i was hoping they were gonna referesh the old minis too
yeah, shame
admittely they havent aged too badly
they give you new battleline though, which they needed
'mortrch of delusion' I love the title
i love how horribly hunched he is
Just like me fr fr
DOOM TOOTS AS HE PLEASES
"finksteala" is a concept I'd want to port over to Blood Axes
kill team?
HH
nah, horus heresy
jumpers in plastic
OOOO I really like the armor plates on the chest
lol
i do find it hilarious jump packs have slowly become more and more reasonable in size on the minis
I'm into the shape of these ones
my faves are still the lov ones i think
cuz theyre chunky but seem functional
and like the grip rails on it
I'm almost surprised they're all on the ground
given the precedent set by other units
but it seems better to be more reserved with a troops unit
?
there's a reveal stream
this vehicle is an ork buggy you cant trick me gw
Sorry I haven’t been here… at all as of late. Fighting games have consumed me.
I'd go for GSC but that's almost everything in Necromunda
cops vs ash nomads would be an aesthetically fun fight
fucking called it
Ash Nomads are so awesome
chat just going "orks orks orks"
the nomads are cool
the ironheads are my fave though
for probably obvious reasons
Ash Nomads are LITERALLY just Dune
it's night lords
Wait what?
I did not see that coming
oh, is it a single kill team huh
ngl they look great
Do y’all have a link?
I'd heard rumors
Thanks
dammit slim
a KT focused on a specific unaligned warband is pretty surprising to me
yeah, still surprised
also love the heads ngl
I'm surprised to see that they're solo, most of the time they're a pair in a set
they look great
Positively reserved on the bat helms here
30k fans will probably love this too lol
These look great
that chainsword is bonkers
they're very cool
its great ngl
Now that’s what I call edgy
lol
I guess I’ll need to get a box
but still funny
"I wanna go home"
lol
I could fit these guys into my Red Corsairs...
I’m curious how their rules will look
tk weirdo spotted
huh
its a very different looking settra
in terms of his mount at least
ngl its throwing me off
cuz im not use to tk having dragons lol
cool though
and its plastic
plastic
this is where all the plastic design budget went lol
ok the magic sand vulture is p sick
my brother is not going to like the heads, he love skeletons
thats cool yeah
im glad its plastic but i do also find it funny lol
the scarabs coming out of the ground on the base is a good touch
tbh i think id just not put the wings on
and just have it be a giant bone crocodile lol
hell yeah
mummy cat
tfw no cat rules
Love how chat is going CAT
like sans the wings which i wager is gonna be easy to not put on im into it
SHOW US THE CAT
was kinda hoping for more Heresy since they have some big stuff explicitly stated to be in the works
still, overall a solid showing
i wager thatll be an adepticon thing lol
Was it just DW knights or did they also do normal DW termies?
just knights i think
ah ok
ah yeah, I've got no sense of the event schedules
Cool models for sure
since you can probably slap the new termie arms on the new knights
The new asmodai is very good
to make normal DW
yeah the asmodai may be my highlight lol
that or the knights
tbh the night lords were cool but it feels like a missed opportunity to pit them against a risen kill team or something
I think it makes sense to make them a weird solo one
They're another upgrade kit for the same box
So it'd feel a little lame for that to be a signature release
I'm curious how their rules will differ from the normal legionaries
I do wish we got another kill team for them to face off with for whatever reason
They definitely have a different specialist pool
it's usually a upgrade sprue versus a bespoke
i am a bit sad we didnt get trazyn
as a mirror to orikan
also while im glad asmodai got a new model
i do find it funny considering the current narrative with the DA
this might me the most overt them being bretts has gotten lol
tbh this may overall be my fave model they whoed off
its so gloriously horrid and lanky
AoS continues to have factions that make me consider joining it
tbh i may use the courtier as part of my homebrew old world vamps
lol
also i really like the paintjob
the spots of pink really pull it all together imo
on an entirely different note
i really dig this take on stormcast
i may take inspo from it for mine
yeah, it's positely sickly looking
it also adds some points of warmth to help with color variety
New taurus 🙂
lol
enforcers are really bad 😦
well not really bad native access to bolters across the board is nothing to sniff at
cat
but boy thats all they got
ngl the tomb king having a trident feels weird to my brain
my tomb kings collecting brother isn't huge on the new dragon, he would've prefered a sphinx of some sort
yeah, thought we would've seen more as well
ur getting me the great dorky one
