Literally.

#

Yeah, while I'm an anti-social introvert, I have a great need to use my voice.

#

VR stuff has been great for me in that regard

#

Let's me be social on my terms.

sour hill
#

For sure.

#

I think Discord does that for a lot of people too.

#

This is my only form of "social media".

#

I don't have anything else.

chrome niche
#

Yeah I left Twitter for my mental well being

#

My checking Reuters today was the first time I actually looked at actual news in weeks...

#

I saw a good meme of that, with a reporter on a TV saying "How are we ever gonna stop living in fear?" and the guy turns off the TV and smiles

sour hill
#

LOL

#

Legit.

#

Its so nice being kind of oblivious to stupid shit.

#

And really important things happening in the world I still hear about from others and can look into it

chrome niche
#

I don't need to hear about how 12 people died in a bus accident in Sri Lanka. It's all just so fucking pointless.

dusk hill
#

twitter is basically a condensed beam of the biggest loudest dumbasses on the planet, i dont look at it to preserve my blood pressure

sour hill
#

🙏

chrome niche
#

Social media gives a horrendously skewed view of things.

dusk hill
#

no sir i do not want to learn about the full ideology of terfs in vitriolic terms

#

i wanna vibe

chrome niche
#

I'm sure it's been used for good, but it's more often used for no good reason to spread hatred, mistrust, depression and flat out lies.

#

at least on Discord I can choose what idiots I wanna see

sour hill
#

🙏

#

And we have an excellent moderation crew here and in other discords.

#

Keeping the place comfy.

chrome niche
#

This was a nice talk, I actually feel a bit better here.

sour hill
#

Glad you do. Always welcome. This Discord is a good place with good people.

#

All the regulars are 10/10.

chrome niche
#

Well we've had our disputes to get here. But yes, in comparison to so many other groups, this is paradise

#

I can even argue with people without wanting to leave

sour hill
chrome niche
#

and I've learned to behave better myself.

#

got my first game of AoS 3rd edition in. was a really good time and i like the changes made

elfin yew
#

Nice!

sour hill
#

Ooo! What did you play?

bold copper
#

soulblight vs soulblight

#

we had to get into each others faces in order to do combat

#

nice thing about neither side having ranged weapons

chrome niche
#

This, this is delicious. Find it and eat it.

dusk hill
#

what

#

im just imagining u scraping that into ur mouth with a spoon and i dont like it also how dare u insinuate i'd use curry paste

void orchid
#

I have never met a curry I didn't enjoy

sour hill
#

🙏

#

I love me some curry.

#

Having some Viatnamese curried noodles tomorrow for lunch.

chrome niche
#

It's got all the good stuff in it

#

Proper paste

#

You can use it in a stew or just have it as a condiment

#

Indian pickled garlic is also amazing

dusk hill
#

idk i dont trust curry paste, it usually just doesn't taste right to me

#

my approach is usually sufficient coriander to bury a house plus hella garam masala everything else is optional but recommended

chrome niche
#

It has a different taste to powder, of course, as it contains vinegar.

#

But I love vinegar

#

ANd now on to a completely different topic

dusk hill
#

i have been meaning to make a big terrarium sometime tbh. i tried it with smol ones but u def want bigger vibes and a good deal dryer than mine was

#

esp if u wanna support anything remotely bigger than springtails

chrome niche
#

I think it's cool

elfin yew
#

Was figuring out how to get ZT2 working for my gf and was greeted by this terror

slow copper
#

It's going to unhinged it's jaws and come at you

void orchid
#

That monkey is thinking about some fucked up shit

elfin yew
#

I never trust chimps

#

they're like the one animal I dont like

#

too intelligent, they have all the malice of humans but none of the reasoning to control it

#

Gorillas are gentle giants

#

chimps will peel people apart for looking at them wrong

void orchid
#

Heroin brain in a muscle mech

elfin yew
#

LITERALLYL.

#

Perfect description

void orchid
#

It's scary as hell how actually jacked they are

elfin yew
#

They're like, balls of muscles under the fur

#

If you've ever seen a shaved chimp

#

It's horrendous

void orchid
#

They're on that sigma male grindset

elfin yew
#

sigma chimp bananaset

void orchid
#

Yeah there's a classic pic of a shaved chimp and it's horrifying

#

I stick to vibing with animals like sloths and capybaras

#

sweet babies

vivid rune
#

hmmmm

elfin yew
#

exactly

#

I don't trust things with a near-human level intelligence for that reason

vivid rune
#

i mean

#

humans

#

are the EXACT same way

elfin yew
#

maybe you but im balling

vivid rune
#

EXCUSE ME

elfin yew
#

I said IM BALLING

vivid rune
#

ILL HAVE YOU KNOW I AM NOT RAPEY

elfin yew
#

AFUHNDFD

#

I think It's like

vivid rune
#

the other things said previously stand however

elfin yew
#

the bridge between "knows enough to be evil" and "doesnt know enough to reason"

#

Like middle schoolers

#

who are notoriously shitty

#

Because they've often developed a capability to understand, and be able, to do malicious things

#

Yet have not matured enough to learn how to reason to control those things, or why you should

vivid rune
#

yup

elfin yew
#

Chimps fall within that zone

#

On the other hand, gorillas are amazing and I love them

#

gentle giant monke

vivid rune
#

beastmen update in 1 min

elfin yew
#

O wait real shit?

vivid rune
#

its 1159 for me right now

#

they said wednesday

elfin yew
#

P usre it's gonna be like 10am tommorow

vivid rune
#

its tuesday for one more min

elfin yew
#

steam page says 10 hours

vivid rune
#

FUCK

#

WHY

#

FUCK YOU GW AND FUCK YOU CA

elfin yew
#

That's what I was hoping for too but unfortunately not :p

quaint halo
#

for Total War 2 or tablertop?

elfin yew
#

TWW2

#

Beasts of chaos are still in the Pit

vivid rune
#

for tabletop he says keka

elfin yew
#

TBF that leaked thing did rumor that Beasts will be getting a update sometime earlier in 3e?

#

So that'd be cool to see

#

Unless I'm remembering it wrong

quaint halo
#

No lie when the teasers for Kragnos were coming out I thought because he was Centaur-like I thought i nwas a beastmen update

vivid rune
#

lmao

elfin yew
#

Yeah that's what I originally thought too

#

I figured he was something related to dragon ogres myself

vivid rune
#

it would not suprise me if they just like

#

squatted BOC down the road

elfin yew
#

They might 'squat' them in the way they did LoN, but I don't think they'd get rid of the faction's identity as a whole

vivid rune
#

unless they actually give a shit about their lore for once

#

and not make it rapey too

elfin yew
#

Are they that way in AoS?

vivid rune
#

no clue

elfin yew
#

I haven't read their battletome, but I thought that was just WHF

#

I dont think there's any mention of it in AoS

vivid rune
#

but i know their lore isnt fleshed out at all from what i heard

elfin yew
#

Yeah that's true

vivid rune
#

in their BT

elfin yew
#

They'll get their time eventually

quaint halo
#

I don't know much of the meta for them in AoS

#

I just thing the models are kinda cool

elfin yew
#

I imagine when they get their update, they'll actually flesh out Morghur(or was it malagor who got turned into the demigod?) and such

#

But I'm not really into "smh when they squattin this thang" since people wildly speculated that about CoS and here we are with Dawnbringer crusades

quaint halo
#

lol

#

Slenesh gets what a character in a carrage and twin super demons

elfin yew
#

That and a bunch of other models

#

I really like the seeker mounts

quaint halo
#

Yea they bare realkly nice cavelry

#

fuck im so tired I cant type

elfin yew
quaint halo
#

They are really nice cavalry

void orchid
#

You're nice cavalry

quaint halo
#

Awwwww

Blushes on Ogor

Oh man that is sick

#

Looks like NMM too

#

Yeah, definitely

#

So good

#

@crisp forge cool elf for u

This is what happens when you don't update a model line GW

good shit

#

went all michelangelo on the banner too

prisma canyon

color pops real nice on the flag

agile zodiac
#

Thanks guys

median pumice
#

10/10 would follow that flag into a battle

royal compass
#

flag looks great

#

I'd say the coat and armour are maybe too similar in colours though

twilit cliff
#

its called camouflage honey, look it up

#

jk jk

lapis tundra
#

Chad move

elfin yew
#

Oh fuck

lapis tundra
#

Adding new ork gun type

#

Love it

elfin yew
#

Rapid fire vs The Cooler rapid fire

edgy cipher
#
  • the new Waagh moves
#

Aka either +1 attack for all the orks of your army and charging after advancing on one turn

#

Or adding +1 attack on all Dakka weapon for one turn and -1 AP after

elfin yew
#

Hype

edgy cipher
#

Unless you're playing Ghaz

#

Then you get both

elfin yew
#

Every codex continues to slap

edgy cipher
#

Yeah now the orks have ATLEAST 3 different ypes of army to field

elfin yew
#

9e really do be increasing my confidence in 40k tt

edgy cipher
#

Either full melee / big vehicle shooting or hybrid

hasty sorrel
#

i get people being cautious cause like

#

imo 8e kinda sucked

#

but 9e lookin good

green cave
#

That is a plain buff to ranged orks right?

edgy cipher
#

Nah 8e was good

#

Its a plain buff to orks yes

#

Because those guns work in melee if on a vehicle

hasty sorrel
#

8e was balanced, but it didnt feel fun imo, there was like no flavour too it

edgy cipher
#

8e was miles better and more competitive than 7e

green cave
#

Damn, i like things being more ranged, but orks? I dunno

twilit cliff
#

oh speaking of

#

were people talking about melee IG earlier?

elfin yew
#

Ork ranged is more abt volume of fire

#

Which is what this supports

edgy cipher
#

Yeah Carro and Skely about Dark Heresy I believe

green cave
twilit cliff
#

are there rules for melee IG rn?

elfin yew
#

Fix Bayonets! omegalul

green cave
#

But that dakka rule seems to give a bonus to attacks like assault do right?

edgy cipher
#

It's Afix bayonnets and dying yes

hasty sorrel
#

Not properly atm ET

elfin yew
#

Dakka just means you fire more shots when close

hasty sorrel
#

thats me n carro discussing RPG stuff

green cave
#

Ah

elfin yew
#

So its like rapid fire but can be buffed

edgy cipher
green cave
#

Then i misunderstood some rules

elfin yew
#

Yeee

twilit cliff
green cave
elfin yew
#

I'm guessing we will see stratagems and maybe spells be around buffing Dakka shot #

edgy cipher
#

But less buffable imo

#

Because rapid fire quickly scales

green cave
#

Still weird to see that for the orks though

edgy cipher
#

As IG, I should know that, making 10 guards shoot 37 times at 12" is big, but ultimately only does 2/3 wounds

elfin yew
#

It doesnt seem to be quite as stronf as rapid fire? Since it only gives, atleast in that instancs, 1 extra shot

edgy cipher
#

Orks always had shooty armies

edgy cipher
elfin yew
#

Ah

edgy cipher
#

Rapid fire effects stack alot

#

Hence me mentioning guards going to RF4

#

With just 1 order

#

But yeah

#

I'm hyped for the orks

green cave
#

Does dakka behave like assault weapons though?

edgy cipher
#

Doesn't seem like it

elfin yew
#

Zogchamp

green cave
#

So they get a very unique version of rapid fire, but lose the possibility to shoot after advancing?

edgy cipher
#

Very fitting

elfin yew
#

Even the humble Boyz get a considerable boost, with big shootaz moving from a perfectly decent Assault 3 to Dakka 5/3, and regular shootaz switching from Assault 2 to Dakka 3/2, making them significantly more lethal at close range.

#

wew

#

5 shots on big shootas

#

Also man

#

reading new KT stuff

#

It seems.. odd.. But I like that

#

All hail the 3" cube

edgy cipher
#

I haven't read it, you got a link ?

edgy cipher
#

ty

elfin yew
#

I hope they got rid of flesh wounds, fuck flesh wounds

#

Apparently saves now only apply to ranged attacks

#

Which means melee will be alot more lethal

edgy cipher
#

Oh

elfin yew
#

The model’s Save value is the only thing that made it across from the old Kill Team datacards, though you may be surprised to know that now it only protects you from ranged attacks. An entirely new system turns your melee fights into the desperate back-and-forth duels you’d expect to see in action movies, which we’ll be exploring in more detail later this week.

edgy cipher
#

Marines players crying

#

I love it

#

Custodes players in shambles

elfin yew
#

Very hyped to see what they mean about this melee system

#

Custode brought down by butt of neophyte's autogun, emperor in tears, more at 11

#

Guardsmen have 7 wounds in KT

#

Invincible guard dick

#

I'm assuming this high HP per model means that they'll get rid of fucking flesh wounds

#

Also

#

APL?

#

Action points?

#

Oh this is rlly cool

#

Seems like new KT will have a action point economy akin to something like XCOM

#

To the right of the Movement characteristic, the Action Point Limit (or APL for short) determines how many actions an operative can attempt in a single activation. While most humans and xenos have a score of two, particularly powerful models like Space Marines can do even more with their turn. We’ll be covering exactly what actions your soldiers can perform in a later article, as there’s far too much to show off here.

#

Trying to figure out what GA stands for

hasty sorrel
#

guard abbs

twilit cliff
#

this trooper veteran has but a two pack

elfin yew
#

I hope they release more special teams for KT eventually, like

twilit cliff
#

who am i to talk lol

elfin yew
#

The ork and Krieg models are so good looking

#

If they did something like warcry or such where you have really gorgeous sets you can get for each faction

#

While also retaining the ability to play with normal models

void orchid
#

GA = great ass

green cave
#

Ad. Mech. models mmmmm

hasty sorrel
#

they did for last edition proud

#

so expect more

elfin yew
#

Yess

#

Tho the last edition ones weren't too special

summer pawn
hasty sorrel
#

but theres also rules included for standard armies n stuff

#

um

#

excuse me proud

elfin yew
#

Like, there were GSC KT releases but they were just regular models

hasty sorrel
#

i'll fight you

elfin yew
#

Renamed and repackaged

#

Ur talking about the KT boxsets right?

hasty sorrel
#

gonna do the gang dirty like that?

elfin yew
#

who in the hell

#

SDUFHNS

#

Alright dam ayt

#

Is this the uhh

#

rogue trader one or?

#

I forget

hasty sorrel
#

yeah

elfin yew
#

Ah yeah

summer pawn
#

Ventrilirran no ?

elfin yew
#

Well I mean like that but for actual factions omegalul

void orchid
#

Lady in the upper left is straight up vibing

hasty sorrel
#

i'll fucking

green cave
#

Those are the rogue traders

hasty sorrel
#

throw down in a minute

#

: (

elfin yew
#

🔪

elfin yew
#

But yeah It's weird because like

hasty sorrel
#

is really is

elfin yew
#

They had named characters but used the exact same models as regular 40k

#

Talking about the other KT boxsets

hasty sorrel
#

there was also this set

#

nurgle i think?

green cave
#

@summer pawn your skitarii are really nice

elfin yew
#

Like the GSC one had a named gang but they were just the base neophyte/acolyte/kelermorph models

summer pawn
#

Thanks mate

void orchid
#

Those sculpts are sick

hasty sorrel
#

also iirc proud

edgy cipher
#

Lastly, there’s a keyword section at the bottom of the card – familiar to players of Warhammer 40,000 – that lets you quickly see if an operative is affected by rules that target a specific keyword. Next to that is an array of four symbols representing the specialisms your operatives can adopt during a narrative play campaign as you build a kill team of storied heroes. We’ll be taking a much closer look at narrative play in a future article too.

hasty sorrel
#

the rogue trader stuff could be fielded on imperial armies

#

but their rules werent great?

edgy cipher
#

Hey, they are keeping specialists

elfin yew
#

Yee that's what I heard too

#

Thus my joke about them not being real kill teams lul

edgy cipher
hasty sorrel
#

and ye zher

hasty sorrel
#

the uhh specialists

edgy cipher
#

Essentially you need an army that allows free detachments like IG and don't lose too much from it, like IG in 8th

hasty sorrel
#

is why all the models in the new kit can be standard dudes with standard guns

#

so normal las/choppas

#

OR

#

you can make them special variants

edgy cipher
#

In short in the sprue they put all options

elfin yew
#

Also >2/3 damage lasguns

#

The Cooler KT Lasgun

edgy cipher
#

The guy reviewing mentioned rocket launcher, so they even got heavy weapon teams covered

hasty sorrel
#

just as the lore intended

#

nice

#

i know krieg get a nade launcher

#

but if i can field like

#

an autocannon team

#

👀

#

or better yet a mortar plz

elfin yew
#

I hope they also look over specific faction mechanics so they're a better rep of their 40k variant

edgy cipher
#

He said the heavy weapons team were there

elfin yew
#

Cult Ambush in KT is literally just a 4+ scout ability lmao

#

It's p cringe

hasty sorrel
#

that seems to be the deal for 9e proud so seeing it come to KT

#

but scalled down

elfin yew
#

Yesss

hasty sorrel
#

would be neat

elfin yew
#

That's what I hope for

#

Do guard get orders in KT atm?

#

If not, they should in new KT

edgy cipher
#

Yes

elfin yew
#

Ahh ayt good

edgy cipher
#

You can even give orders with a ogryn bonehead

hasty sorrel
#

when can we preorder btw

elfin yew
#

The Chad 'onehead

#

August apparently

#

I think

hasty sorrel
#

guess atleast i'll be vaccinated

elfin yew
#

Hopefully they also look at factions whos like

#

entire personality is stripped off them in KT

#

Like CWE

obtuse sinew
#

sick

coral pewter
#

Those are sick

hasty sorrel
#

been getting art done for all the players since no one died

green cave
#

I mean, their personality should be to be few but high quality

twilit cliff
#

those are so cool skele

#

did you do that?

edgy cipher
#

Moar Dakka

hasty sorrel
twilit cliff
#

so cool

elfin yew
hasty sorrel
#

Yeah basically eldar for KT doesnt work cause aspects havent been updated or acknowledged in so long

elfin yew
hasty sorrel
# twilit cliff so cool

and thx, was a fun campaign and wanted to reward the players for putting up with me being a first time GM

#

new darkreaper models when proud?

twilit cliff
#

that's a nice idea

hasty sorrel
elfin yew
#

Pls

shell yacht
#

Anyway here's this

twilit cliff
#

i really like and im going to try and explain what i mean

#

top left panel

#

(and i don't know metroid) but the blue guy

#

his suit reflects red when he fires

shell yacht
#

Thanks. It's a she.

twilit cliff
#

like i said i don't know metroid lul

shell yacht
#

All is forgiven lmao

sour hill
#

Metroid is pretty sick.

#

One of my favourite Nintendo IPs.

shell yacht
#

Dude same

elfin yew
#

Honestly we need a XCOM Style KT inspo'd video game

#

Since new KT reminds me so much of it

hasty sorrel
#

itd be nice

elfin yew
#

Wait

hasty sorrel
#

any kind of like

elfin yew
#

Mechanicus

hasty sorrel
#

tactical 40k

#

is comfy

elfin yew
#

Yess

hasty sorrel
#

even uhh

#

dawn of war 2

#

that was fun

edgy cipher
#

I would say yes, but dice throws in games tend to make me rage

elfin yew
#

99% chance to hit

#

miss

edgy cipher
#

Oh no I'm used to that

#

It's most likely like what mordheim did that angers me

shell yacht
#

Fuck Mordheim

edgy cipher
#

Aka the IA cheating or getting a 20% increase in stats because its a dumb AI

elfin yew
shell yacht
#

AND FUCK XCOM WITH A SOCKET WRENCH

edgy cipher
#

Xcom has stuff that softens that part

#

Grenades being 100% hit fore example and oneshotting smaller aliens while destroying cover

shell yacht
#

Snake tits

edgy cipher
#

And the enemy not getting them at the beginning

#

I'm pretty sure you're a bit too young for that talk

hasty sorrel
shell yacht
#

I already wasn't super big on the tactical shit, but it was just so many other things that made me despise it.

#

Not just the time limits and the wasted time, but also the bland yet annoying characters.

green cave
#

Oi, no disrespecting of xcom!

#

It was nice for its time

#

They also had the reapers 🖤

shell yacht
#

Its time was a box of rusted nails with a He-Man action figure in there.

hasty sorrel
#

xcom was fine, its not a character game unless you make it one

#

its more about your troop attatchment due to character death

edgy cipher
#

Usually, giving names, nicknames, special voices and customising characters help for that part

#

Suddenly losing the Engineer from TF2 from a crit Mutton rifleshot got me actin angry

green cave
#

I only had attachment to reapers tbh, i even left to die skirmishers, templars and other normal troops to save reapers

#

Sharps were also valuable

edgy cipher
#

I'm a big fan of rangers and templars

#

Skirmishers I like

#

But reapers are mandatory

green cave
#

I find rangers fun, my first play i gave them all assault rifles, since the concept of going near an enemy is abhorrent for me

#

Templars were amazing bullet magnet

twilit cliff
#

so uh, first time using resin

hasty sorrel
#

good luck

twilit cliff
#

i hear im supposed to clean it with cold water first?

verbal sapphire
#

Warm water

#

But not too warm

#

You want to get rid of the bonding agents that still might be on the model

twilit cliff
#

what happens if you dont lol?

edgy cipher
#

Paint and glue don't stick well

twilit cliff
#

ahhh, ok

#

anything else i should watch out for?

void orchid
#

I usually go over it with an old toothbrush and soapy water

#

Give it plenty of time to dry after, you don't want to just towel it off and the find out halfway thru priming that a crabby had some tiny water droplets in it

lapis tundra
#

Still can be proud of it, you created it 100% yourself plus you painted it yourself, i really suck with 3d stuff like blender so with that you are way ahead of me!

twilit cliff
void orchid
#

I haven't had any issues with that personally

twilit cliff
#

do you have a regular model to compare

twilit cliff
#

another question, how easy is it to cut up and carve?

void orchid
#

I've actually found it to be more pliable, especially if you heat it up- like if you've got a gun barrel that is bent a little, you can run it under hot water for a really short time and hold it straight while it cools

twilit cliff
#

i want to do some details on some legs parts i have

void orchid
twilit cliff
#

that should work for my purpose

void orchid
#

But otherwise it's a lot like plastic in my experience

vale sleet
#

Yeah too big

twilit cliff
#

i mean, if i were you

#

i'd just think like maybe this isnt a table unit

#

more of a setpiece?

#

or heck use it on the table as a HQ or something idk the rules

vale sleet
#

Im gonna re print him to a smaller size

twilit cliff
#

and if youre not happy about it that way, it was good practice right?

#

every thing i do i start with a mistake lol

vale sleet
#

Yeah it was, im keeping him butyeah good experience

shell yacht
edgy cipher
shell yacht
twilit cliff
#

i dont hear it in my headphones

#

oh

#

around 0:40?

#

yeah at 0:43 theres crackling

shell yacht
#

God mother of mercy.

#

I've been using an editing software for a couple years and it hasn't started doing this until recent.

twilit cliff
#

im not an expert but uh

#

did you update?

shell yacht
#

I think there was an update that installed itself a while back.

twilit cliff
#

tbf i dont know what causes crackling, i always thought it was hardware

shell yacht
#

Well degraded audio aside how is it?

twilit cliff
#

it's two existing pieces right?

#

id have to hear the originals

shell yacht
#

should i..

paint the big mech?

@hoary ermine how much for a custom robot?!

🔫where robot

#

But that looks really good!

hoary ermine
#

but maybe if i end up enjoying creating chonkers like these, i will

#

it takes a bit to make one tho, it took me about 2 months of planning and building with 2 refs

hoary ermine
#

first tho, i want to make sure i can reliably recreate a model like this

#

it cost me over 40 plates from different kits, so a pricy model it would probably be

#

i might fully bend into punked mechs once i finish my chadmech and word bearers

#

and of course my Thousand Boyfriends and World Cuddlers

vivid rune
#

@hoary ermine figure out molding and make some molds of your kitbashs! Id pay 50 bucks for a cast of one!

hoary ermine
#

hahahaha

#

id rather make them one by one if im honest

#

allows me to add more unique detail to each mech

If this works out ill be making a few more for my admech at least

New Ork Codex Box goes up Saturday I think

elfin yew

Hmm unsure

idk how bad the scalper bots will be

elfin yew

For the ork codex? Probably not bad

tiny cairn

well its the exclusive box set or w/e

elfin yew
#

Not alot of reason to scalp a codex

#

OH the boxset

#

Ah ok then

tiny cairn
#

with the new beast snaggas + codex

elfin yew
#

Yeah see the issue is that scalpers usually just bot the buy

tiny cairn
#

yeah exactly, I wish they gave a time so we had somewhat of a chance, though I haven't looked too much into it yet

#

cause their bots will refresh every like 5 seconds or so for that day

no way Ill randomly guess it if they release it during bong time

Reading through the soulblight army book... its okay, and the models are nice but I dont think they're for me.

Do you guys have like any recommendations for an AOS army? Was looking at the lumineth realm lords... <_<

elfin yew
#

Depends on wat ur into really

vivid rune
#

@median pumice i mean what are you looking for rules wise?

dusk hill
#

yeah pick based on aesthetic imo. plus like

#

do a quick check here for rules cus apparently they're not created equal

elfin yew
#

Most are okay, just some are like

like beasts

Other than that tho, I'd say power level discrepancy isn't as bad as 40k's at least

vivid rune
#

STEER CLEAR OF HEDONITES YOU ARE WAISTING YOUR MONEY WITH THEM

median pumice
#

Okay @vivid rune , I need to hear this. And yeah, I'm liking MOST of the aesthetics of the real lords...

elfin yew
#

Realmlords, at least in 2e, are pretty strong

#

Also they're pwetty

median pumice
#

They arrrrrrrree

elfin yew
#

I imagine they'll stay pretty good in 3e too

#

Just be careful transporting them

#

Their pikes are prone to breaking

median pumice
#

Yeah I hear a lot about spear breaking

elfin yew
#

They're also one of the factions that has eventual 'confirmed' expansions

#

Since we know they're gonna add river and zenith temples at some point

#

I actually think river temples were on the leak list along with Umbraneth

#

for 3e

median pumice
#

Hmmm... tempting me to save money. Diabolical lmao

elfin yew
#

They're p neat since you have two divides, fluffwise, between the Teclian and Tyrionic nations

#

So there's also another big expansion 'confirmed' for them

#

Which is gonna be Tyrion and some more of the tyrionic nation stuff

#

Since it's mostly just Teclis with alot of the battleline being Tyrionic atm

median pumice
#

Ahh yeah. Wassutprised therewasnt a Tyrion model yet

elfin yew
#

And then you also have the ATLA temples

median pumice
#

Atla?

elfin yew
#

Avatar the last airbender sdfhsn

#

The elemental temples

median pumice
#

Ahahahahhah I thought so

elfin yew
#

River, wind, earth, and zenith

#

2 of which are in as models

median pumice
#

The.... cow ones are earth right?

elfin yew
#

Yee

#

Those are mountain gods

void orchid
#

No fire?

elfin yew
#

or deific beings

#

I think Zenith might be fire?

#

I was talking to elf about this and apparently zenith can mean energy

#

which fir ewould represent

median pumice
#

Those... are.... I think they'd be okay without the huge ass horns <_<

elfin yew
#

If you remember in atla, fire bending was actually 'energy' bending which is how I justify that

median pumice
#

Ahh gotcha

elfin yew
#

In Shyish, they used massive boulders to fly

they just got ontop of them

New meaning to "flies like a stone"

median pumice
#

I'm big on the named lords followed by the units. So in soul blight Nagash and Neferata and the blood knights were cool... but the foot troops like disappointed me. Lmao

elfin yew
#

Yeah I wish they'd had updated Grave guard too

#

It's weird that regular skeletons look cooler than grave guard

median pumice
#

And their generic lower pointed lord selection is... not appealing besides some stand out models

#

And the weird centaur lady isnt my bag :(

#

So I'm hoping the realm lord stuff might tickle my fancy. With their weird harp bolt throwers, and harp bows.... and flying teclis which is a fantastic model but a pain to transport.

#

From what I hear

elfin yew
#

I really like the realmlord's generic lords too

#

Like uhh

#

There's the tyrionic general on bull back?

#

I forgot what she's called

#

The vanari one

median pumice
#

I dont recall the name but remember the model

trim hemlock
#

Cav lords in general are pretty top notch across AoS

elfin yew
#

#

I think I especially like the Lumi ones since they're like.. horse-sized mammals

#

Also their armor is so intricate

arctic ridge
#

I do be liking some of the barding on the mount

elfin yew
#

I will say that Lumi, at least to me, look really hard to paint

#

Especially all those little symbols and such everywhere

void orchid
#

Plus white

elfin yew
#

My LGS manager had one painted gorgeously, it was intense

void orchid
#

So much of it

median pumice
#

I was monumentally disappointed that there wasnt a generic or even named blood knight lord. That feels like an oversight...

elfin yew
#

Well you don't neccesarily have to paint them white bu tyee If u did that

void orchid
#

True

median pumice
#

There was one on a zombie dragon but ehhhh

#

Yeah there are... a lot of symbols lmao

elfin yew
#

Those symbols aren't free-hand, but still managing to paint the little cracks is painful

trim hemlock
elfin yew
#

There are some on SCE models too

arctic ridge
#

Blood Knights are at their best when on a honse

Theres that named von carsteen. But hes a foot lord lol

He's the blood dragon on dragon mount model atm

median pumice
#

Let me remake vampire brettonians dammit lmao

trim hemlock
#

Is he really? I thought the vamp on dragon was a generic lord type

elfin yew
#

Perhaps one day we'll get a FEC update which helps them more fit their fluff

#

Yee there's a generic lord type then prince vhordrai

#

They're the same 'unit type' but one's him

median pumice
#

Yeah. I guess I'll just keep looking and stuff for now. Thanks all. It's late and I should sleep.... gnight!

trim hemlock
#

Huh, TIL.

elfin yew
#

Or atleast he used to be

trim hemlock
#

Speaking of vamps, I do think it was kinda weird how much focus Radukar's extended family got. There's what, like 4 or 5 of 'em total?

elfin yew
#

They might've cut him when they moved from LoN to Soulblight

#

O nvm found his sheet

#

And yeah Radukar's quite the uh

#

prolific spreader

#

Tbf it fits vampire thematics, the whole 'source' bloodline of a bunch of power

#

Kinda like Vlad in WHF

trim hemlock
#

True, true, it's also nice GW is acknowledging that wolves and vamps go way back.

median pumice
#

God I miss Vlad

elfin yew
#

I really like them using several sources of vampire lores

trim hemlock
#

Instead of the wolf vs vamp stuff you see nowadays

elfin yew
#

It helps make them more unique

median pumice
#

Yeah their variety is very nice

elfin yew
#

We got: ratvampires, wolfvampires, vampirevampires

#

Tauric vampires

arctic ridge
#

The strygoi were fun while they lasted

#

The flesh eater courts?

Ghouls kinda now FEC's thing, who are in need of a revamp at some point

I just wished they branched into other types of bloodsucking animals. Give me bugvamps GW!

mosquito vampires

They're more head crabs than their own class of vamp, still neat though. The fleataur vamp was probably my favorite, second to her Highness.

Calling him done for now might tidy up the base for later

Poggy woggy

hoary ermine
#

i made a parts list for my mech

#

The body is a Thanatar Calix with severe dremel work to remove the head and replace the sensor dome with the panel normally used in a Dunecrawler's twin autocannon array, using an adeptus mechanicus omnispex as eye.

-The sensor suite on the right shoulder is a space marine flyer weapons pod mounted over the normal laser array with kneadatite/greenstuff over it, the sensor bits are; a space marine scanner from the primaris tank, a dome radar from the t'au, a chaos marines smoke launcher clipped in half on the most right side of it, a t'au scanner from a battlesuit kit and a flat panel to seal the front.
-The chest is decorated with a few ladder handles from several imperial vehicles, tow hooks from the rhinos and taurox kits depending on where they sit, the small shield is a necromunda enforcers ram plate and the handle ontop, serving as a power core as seen in titanfall, is a melta bomb.

-The shoulders are 3 baneblade hull armor plates strapped together after dremelling out the original shoulders to shape those heavy plates. They too have grab handles for lifting up, then there are the front plates which are leman russ armor plates, flaps from baneblade windows/hatches and a single vent plate from the adeptus mechanicus stratoraptor, as a vent on each shoulder. The back plates on each shoulder are Skorpius dunerider hull components i cut to shape.
-The jetpack is built up out of a t'au ghostkeel jump pack, 2 space marine turbines and 4 repulsor hover plates as armor, with vents from a stormtalon missile pod,

The legs are normal thanatar legs with removed toes and added antigrav plates for side and back flaps for walking, followed by a primaris tank turret per foot for a frontal toe.
-The legs are decorated with several armored panels from a baneblade, dreadnought missile panels and Ironstrider waist armor.

The gun is several taurox cannons strapped together over a block of greenstuff and some sprue, the front vent plates are vansaar archaeotech shoulders.

You guys think the Realm Lord Battletome is worth picking up now, or wait a bit for the new releases to catch up a few months down the line?

elfin yew

It's hard to say really, I'd go ahead. They just did get a pretty large release

#

Or wait for their 3e Battletome, but there's no telling how long that'll be.

#

I would ujst go ahead

#

It'll probs be a year or two before they get their new tome, considering how much there is to go through and they just did get new

median pumice
#

Coool. I'm gonna like... pick it up at my local game store tomorrow, and maybe a box of troops....

#

Heads or tails. The Archers or the spearmen? I'm gonna pick up the Lord Regent but I want a troops to try and paint. And they both look cool lol

bold copper

i think spearmen look better personally

elfin yew
#

Probably spearmen since they're also battleline, if you want to play like a tiny game with someone

#

to try it out

bold copper

but if you want to play the game in matched play, ranged units are doing very well this edition

The Brood brothers boxes comes with 10 basic infantry and one heavy weapon team for cheaper than the new guard

hasty sorrel
#

so

twilit cliff
#

broother brother lul

hasty sorrel
#

you buy a mix of new guard n BB

#

because new guard has what

#

20 heads a box?

edgy cipher
#

45 heads

hasty sorrel
#

So 1 guard box will last for 4 BB

edgy cipher
#

You got the basic 15/20 and another 25 on a sprue

#

4 BB ?

#

But yeah, the difference in value is enormous

hasty sorrel
#

4 brood brother boxes

edgy cipher
#

Oh yeah

#

Also don't forget

#

the brood brother box already has basic IG heads

hasty sorrel
edgy cipher
#

So if the new sprue isn't interesting to you, straight up buying the BB box gives you alot more value

#

It's cheaper than the shock troup box AND you get an additionnal unit

hasty sorrel
#

man yeah like

#

3 boxes of BB and u have a conscript squad at max cap + 3 heavy weapons

edgy cipher
#

Yeah and you saved 15 pounds

#

Its not a lot but its something

twilit cliff
#

Thanks fort he tip, the only thing I really need from cadians are torsos and arms

Might get bb instead next time

edgy cipher

I mean you'll still find easy to build cadians at local stores

#

You could resell the Genestealer cult sprue later

I even got one of them, planning to paint him as a random sm chapter and cross his chapter markings out with red crosses so he fits nicely into my red corsairs
