Well, a way to resolve this is to is to only give some weapons spillover

tepid stratus
#

I do think melee and blast weapons at the very least should get spillover in 40k

tired cairn
#

I also have heard that AoS is generally less lethal than 40k?

floral herald
#

Clearing hordes is certainly not that hard in 40k

tepid stratus
# tired cairn I also have heard that AoS is generally less lethal than 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

tired cairn

lmao

#

Look, the important part is they either sat on a backline objective or accomplished some secondary

which one of the chaos gods is the best one at swearing?

quaint compass
#

Slaanesh

#

They indulge in it

floral herald
#

I struggle to imagine any of them having a decisive edge

quaint compass
#

Slaanesh also indulges in edging

lofty warren
#

Tzeentch is worst at it imo

#

Cause they would default to redditor insults

quaint compass
#

Too many words
Too little impact

#

until the prophecy comes true

#

Tzeentch would drop excessively wordy and weird insults not unlike Cio.

since slaneesh likes to make people sad they are probably good at swearing

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

naive abyss
#

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

jaunty dawn
#

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)

dense sedge
thin ibex
#

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"

jaunty dawn
#

tzeentch insults you for things you haven't even done yet

It looks very votann Ngl

Yeah

#

The hand seems a little weird but idk

unreal cosmos
#

Oh that would make sense

naive abyss
#

So maybe it's some kinda sapper unit

unreal cosmos
#

Sounds plausible! Or maybe just a Bomb Guy tucked into a larger unit

naive abyss
#

Sapper would be a fun parallel to the miners in fantasy Ngl

unreal cosmos
#

What if one of their jump pack guys can just rain charges on someone lol

jaunty dawn
#

assault marines used to get melta bombs

#

so it wouldn't be out of place in 40k

naive abyss
#

I could see it yeah

#

I just like the idea is more than one new unit lol

#

Cuz we know jump troops are coming

pulsar cairn
#

a melta bomb sounds op

#

just big sphere of death

jaunty dawn
#

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

im actually rather interested

might be a very tactile way for me to learn about the age of sigmar

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 :)

it also made me laugh

#

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

pulsar cairn
#

can i be the kroot who has a gun emplacement on a monkey?

naive abyss

that actually would be your cousin

be nice to them or moms gonna take away the xbox

when youre a kroot half of the ecosystem is other kroot

nah it is more like cousins

Whats the Chaos one?

past sphinx
#

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?

jaunty dawn
#

to go with morvehn vahl prolly

#

and she's probably partially a reimagining of karazmov

past sphinx
#

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

naive abyss
#

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

past sphinx
#

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

#

Progress on Kairos. I'm hoping to finish him by the weekend for a tournament

thin ibex
#

are the sister's warsuits considered good atm?

#

i like em a lot

dense sedge
#

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

tepid stratus
#

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

dense sedge
#

Tzeentch needs a elite mortal unit in my opinion

tepid stratus
#

They're the only faction that lacks one unless you count tzaangor enlightened

#

Gimme doom knights or armoured wizard freaks like the curseling

#

What're some good sources for clawed hands? The new genestealer kit is nice-looking but I wanna open my options a bit

naive abyss
#

uhhh how clawed do you need?

#

cuz i think skaven have sorta clawed hands

quaint compass
#

Something that'd fit on an Eightbound, so preferably pronounced

naive abyss
#

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

thin ibex
#

anyone pick up the new AOS RTS?

floral herald
#

Don't actually do this but the Clawed Fiend miniature comes to mind

thin ibex
#

get any hands on experience with it?

floral herald
#

It looks neat

#

The IGN review was extremely funny to me but I might pick it up when I have less backlog

thin ibex
#

ive tacked it on to my steam wish list but don't think its in my soon-to-buy horizon

serene kestrel
naive abyss
#

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

thin ibex
#

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

naive abyss
#

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

naive abyss
serene kestrel
#

Im actually a big fan of AoS and 3 of the factions so Im fairly excited for it

naive abyss
#

i like aos too

thin ibex
#

i also feel like seeing the models and factions in motion would be cool for me, in terms of like gelling

#

what i see

naive abyss
#

like this is very much not like a "fuck aos" sorta thing to be clear lol

thin ibex
#

and setting expectations

serene kestrel
#

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

floral herald
naive abyss
#

jesus

#

thats

floral herald
#

I think its a dumb review

#

(Also it was PCgamer not IGN)

naive abyss
#

not at all correct

#

like aos is power metal

serene kestrel
#

Ye

naive abyss
#

like one hundread and ten percent

floral herald
#

I think the reviewer is actually a jilted whfb fan and it SHOWS

serene kestrel
#

For sure, it's def like high octaine shit thats cool because it's cool

naive abyss
#

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

naive abyss
#

especially considering oldhammer is not punk or death metal

serene kestrel
naive abyss
#

its like

#

idk

#

dungeon synth

#

is honestly my first emotion

serene kestrel
#

Some goober guitar noodling while a man with big hair screams about fighting evil wizards (see gloryhammer)

naive abyss
#

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

serene kestrel
#

Battle beast then

naive abyss
#

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

thin ibex
#

I feel like this is AOS

naive abyss
#

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

floral herald

I'm sorry but this feels strangely relevant

#

i find this extra funny considering the tone of the original dawn of war ngl

How grim dark was Warhammer Fantasy Battle?

naive abyss
#

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

#

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"

floral herald
#

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

thin ibex
#

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

Remember that 40k is the Space version of Warhammer Fantasy

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

naive abyss
#

yeah

#

thats like tbh one of the really key differences imo

upper canopy
#

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

pastel rampart
#

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.

naive abyss
#

like another could like gauge of the vibe is river trolls attack people by vomiting at them lol

thin ibex
#

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

naive abyss
#

it also very much depends on who you are and where you are lol

pulsar cairn
torn arrow
#

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.

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)

glossy vapor
#

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?

thin ibex
#

Like really really starting out?

#

Some brushes, some paper towel, a mug for paint water, a shoe box for priming/spraying

#

Maybe a lamp

glossy vapor
#

never painted a model before, wants to get basic stuff to make a few models and see how they like it.

sinful merlin
#

sprue clipper and a file/sanding board, hobby knife

glossy vapor
#

what grit?

thin ibex
#

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

dense sedge
thin ibex
sinful merlin
thin ibex
#

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

sinful merlin
thin ibex
#

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

glossy vapor
#

is there anything to know keeping care of brushes for acrylic paint? like obvs wash them off but.

thin ibex
#

That's the long and short of it. Keep em wet while using, properly wash when done. Dry properly too

desert jay
#

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

thin ibex
#

Don't overload the brush with paint enough that it dries into the mud

sinful merlin
#

don't overload them with paint so much that it goes up into the ferrule (the metal part)

thin ibex
#

Into the mid* of the brush

#

Yeah that

sinful merlin
#

beat me to it lol

thin ibex
desert jay
#

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

sinful merlin
#

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 😄

thin ibex
#

That's the way to do it

#

Because you'll probably destroy your first set of brushes

sinful merlin
#

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

thin ibex
#

Heck, ruined brushes have their uses lol

sinful merlin
#

(also cheap makeup brushes make great dry brushes)

glossy vapor
# thin ibex The thing I usual advise is like... it's really easy to over invest and get lost...

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.

desert jay
#

I guess more a warning not to expect that perfect white or tan coat on your first time

sinful merlin
#

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

thin ibex
glossy vapor
#

im thinking of going like, grey with navy blue accents.

sinful merlin
#

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

thin ibex
#

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

glossy vapor
#

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.

sinful merlin
#

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 😄

thin ibex
#

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
past sphinx
#

i dont think ive ever heard of plastic glue being load bearing

sinful merlin
thin ibex
#

Oh this is both a joke and advice, don't drink the paint water

past sphinx
#

granted all the big models are resin so not something that usually comes up

past sphinx
thin ibex
#

I've come really close more than once

glossy vapor
thin ibex
#

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

glossy vapor
#

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".

thin ibex
#

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

past sphinx
#

Firewarriors suck to paint, as someone who started with tau

#

Especially with white armor

glossy vapor
#

what made them particularly bad?

floral herald
#

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

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

naive abyss
#

Jee I wonder what faction this could be referencing lol

unreal cosmos
#

Very curious about what we're gonna see for just about every game

naive abyss

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

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?

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"

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

floral herald
thin ibex
#

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

naive abyss
thin ibex
#

is the kronus hegemony the one that resolves every argument with a fight

#

even with other kin?

naive abyss
naive abyss
#

It's why they also sorta just baited the marines into a fight

#

They gotta meet their literal conquest quota lol

naive abyss
thin ibex
#

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

so often its the other way with necrons

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?

pastel rampart
#

Could be an asteroid with no atmosphere, and which spills out into a ship.

thin ibex
#

Do yall think the carchardons got primaris reinforcements by now?

pastel rampart

Oh probably.

Same with the Minotaurs.

I feel like carch rievers on boarding actions is a vibe

Iirc don't kin consider necron tombs high risk/ high reward endeavors

i love how the LoV have shifted from "aye stout and strong miners and craftsmen" to actual criminals

i mean that was stated as something they might do in the dex

#

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

past sphinx
#

people say that about anything not covered in skulls

jaunty dawn
#

people say that about anything

naive abyss
#

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

past sphinx
#

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

naive abyss
#

exactly

#

that was another point we often brought up

#

and was usually just ignored by those folks as they just went "wer skuhls"

unreal cosmos
#

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

naive abyss
#

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

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

How is underworlds as a game?

past sphinx
#

It's problems are on the gw end more than the game end

dense sedge
#

Elaborate?

jaunty dawn
#

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

soft willow
#

Those aren't kin. I am dissapointed.

#

Cool models though.

The hood makes the head look so smol

naive abyss
#

I love the hooded termie heads da get Ngl

#

Cuz so much of it gets obscured

#

So it just looks weird and kinda creepy

thin ibex
#

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

naive abyss
#

I never really think about logistics with warhammer lol

thin ibex
#

thats a blessing im mildly envious of, but also makes perfect sense when thinking about em

naive abyss
#

Just whether it looks cool/fun is my sniff test lol

thin ibex
#

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"

naive abyss
#

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

thin ibex
#

my little detail brain gets caught up on like two major things; billboard design and swordy stuff in fiction

naive abyss
#

I think it helps that I've grown a fondness for retrohammer stuff

thin ibex
#

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

naive abyss
#

And growing out of a need for things I like to be taken seriously or etc

naive abyss
#

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

naive abyss
thin ibex
#

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

naive abyss
#

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

#

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

unreal cosmos
#

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

jaunty dawn
#

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

unreal cosmos
#

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.

so in 10th edition do tau drones have any function beyond the static ability you give?

jaunty dawn

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).

Cool models for sure

naive abyss
#

since you can probably slap the new termie arms on the new knights

floral herald
#

The new asmodai is very good

naive abyss
#

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

floral herald
#

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

dense sedge
#

I do wish we got another kill team for them to face off with for whatever reason

floral herald
#

They definitely have a different specialist pool

dense sedge
#

it's usually a upgrade sprue versus a bespoke

naive abyss
#

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

thin ibex
#

Crusade filled future?

#

Hell yeah

naive abyss
#

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

naive abyss
#

tbh i may use the courtier as part of my homebrew old world vamps

naive abyss
#

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

naive abyss
#

it also adds some points of warmth to help with color variety

New taurus 🙂

naive abyss
#

lol

past sphinx
#

enforcers are really bad 😦

past sphinx
#

well not really bad native access to bolters across the board is nothing to sniff at

naive abyss
past sphinx
#

but boy thats all they got

naive abyss
#

ngl the tomb king having a trident feels weird to my brain

dense sedge
#

my tomb kings collecting brother isn't huge on the new dragon, he would've prefered a sphinx of some sort

naive abyss
#

tbh without the wings im into it

#

i do wish we had seen more for old world though

dense sedge
#

yeah, thought we would've seen more as well
