Old thread: No AoS release in August?
BTW, can anyone confirm that Battle Brew(Destruction Artefact) is one use only or not? Can't access to FB atm.
Daniel Edwards
First For Duardin. Aelfs still a shit.
Chase Jackson
>that guy swinging the flail around >blindfolded
what could go wrong?
Robert Clark
Just gone trough the first pages. it begins with a nomad, cannibalistic(aka bloodreavers, but less boring)with the head chief beign an angry chick.
im already liking this. word. I love candlemen lore. its pretty great. too bad the models do not rapresent them at all. Flagellants should have stayed flaggelants and candlemen should have gotten their own model-or at least a customization kit.
Parker Rivera
OP's pic without text.
Adam Anderson
Moonclan Grots is best grots.
Grayson Ortiz
I'm only on just starting Ghal Maraz, tell me about the Candlemen and where do we see them first?
Colton Ward
Any scans of the Beastclaw Raiders book yet?
Daniel Kelly
Still Grots though.
Oliver Hill
i fucking love how a bunch of the art is basically album cover teir
Anthony Morales
hey guys, need help with rules
Can my Chaos Champion be the "one model" in the squad with the gorelaive??
William Thompson
Yes.
Luke Ramirez
I think so, yes. It has access to all the other weapons. Just be sure to model him to look extra chaos-y because his usual difference is a special looking axe.
Christian Johnson
holy shit, thanks guys... freakin' op
Lucas Brown
Yep, FAQ says squad leaders can take special weapons.
Colton Howard
hell yes... thanks bud... I bought the StartCollecting! Blood Bound Box so i could add the gorelaive to my bloodwarriors because i felt they didn't hit hard enough... this should help tremendously
thats base 3 attacks (+1 w/bloodsecrator), hitting on 3s, wounding on 3s, -1 rend, 2 dmg
Lincoln Foster
So how did your Chaos lord fall to Chaos, Veeky Forums?
Asher Johnson
You think you've seen pushy parents? His were Tzeentchian Chaos worshipers.
He didn't stand a chance.
Evan Robinson
Think they solved this quite smart with the Ironjawz release. They gave the Brute champ option of special weapons from the start, instead of a basic +1 attack. This way, you get your special weapon and gets a cool champ with special gear as well, without looking like an waac faggot.
Gavin Ortiz

First ever AOS game - 750 Ironjawz (me) vs High (A)elves - victory ... Destruction!
3 Gore Gruntas 5 Brutes 10 Ard boyz War Chanter Weird Nob
>The Gore Gruntas were tar-pitted by the Phoenix Guard with their 4+/4++ >The Brutes were killed in two turns (with some good rolling by him and poor rolling by me) by the Swordmasters (who only lost 5) >The Orruks of the match were the Ard Boyz. Who, with the help of the War chanter, killed the Sea Guard and Reavers. >Weirdnob Shaman, was never in a position to cast puke and I didn't believe in the dice to give me the foot of Gork so I stuck to Arcane Bolt. >WarChanter with his +hit, really helped the Ardboyz, in his first round of combat, I also rolled 4 sixes in succession with a single dice roll, not bad.
Overall, impressed by the simplicity of the rules, really enjoyed it, looking forward to more games.

Can you tell us some good fluff from the book, user?

Jonathan Williams
Aren't they supposed to be the good guys? Because they look a lot like evil demented space marines.
Aaron Ward
Nagash has a special distaste for the Beastclaw raiders because usually war is a gift for him granting him many new subjects for him to animate for his armies but it's not so with the wars of the Beastclaw raiders. They leave nothing behind but frozen empty wastelands with nothing for Nagash to animate.
Christian Bennett
They're invading a land literally made of fire to fight monsters and madmen. Yeah, they better look intimidating.
Connor Wood
Fuck I love Warhammer artwork. Makes me want to buy it all.
Jacob Collins
That one guy is so happy he got a second club.
I'll never be that happy about anything.
Kevin Torres

Hudson Rodriguez
So that ice and snow follows them or do they know where it's going and just go on ahead of it?
Alexander Jackson
Facing one of the "Nine who are One". Incredible bravery or amazing foolishness? You decide!
Kevin Bennett
really? They have Extremis vs Beastclaw and they DON'T have it like a massive impact of two cavalry charges a la Battle of the Bastards?
Wyatt Peterson
>that fucking skeleton in the bottom left
"Yo, check it out, we told Steve he should try and block that things charge."
Connor Martinez
It follows them around. They must always remain on the move or else it catches up to them and freezes them in place. However, the cold does not kill them. They're covered in ice and freeze place, entering a dormant state until something awakens them like when a Stormcast chamber awakened an entire clan of them that were frozen since the Age of Myth.
There are many legends about Everwinter's origin, from Sigmar cursing the Beastclaw clans to the Beastclaws unleashing it by raiding a vault in Shyish. So nobody knows where it actually came from.
Isaiah Walker

That's some pretty cool shit. So now the gates have reopened, they're going all over the place? Or were they always spread around?
Owen Stewart

Nicholas Brooks
Fucking Nurgle, stop shitting all over everything.
Blake Collins
that's slightly better
Jordan Anderson
Always spread around. Each Beastclaw clan's Everwinter adopted a trait from one of the lands they visited.
They thrived and grew strong in the Age of Chaos because the Chaos Hordes weakened kingdoms and empires and left them as easy pickings for the Beastclaw clans. They also hunted the lines of countless refuges that made way to Azyr to escape Chaos, and they set up ambushes for armies exiting realmgates or fleeing into them.
Samuel Walker
>Each Beastclaw clan's Everwinter adopted a trait from one of the lands they visited.
Do we know some?
Lucas Harris

Nicholas Williams
>that one skeleton in the middle
Ice is slippery, even for skellies.
Zachary Wilson
Yep, the BT describes a dozen of them.
Zachary Jones
What I would like to know is, what happend to the armies of the Empire? Where r mah state troops?
Lincoln Hall

Oliver Ward

Brody Green
Empire is kill. Old world is kill.
The current guys that look like them are descendants of various kingdoms and states that existed prior to Chaos kicking the ass of the 8 realms.
They probably look like the Empire because Sigmar's influence.
It's likely we'll get more fluff eventually, but for now that's all we got.
Zachary Torres
>Armor on a Harbinger
Either that's going to be a new type of Morghast or GW fucked up.
Nathan Miller
And that's all, folks?
What did you think of the art?
Alexander Price
the guy with the morion on the right
Guess thats what happened to some of the Estalians from the Old World
Christian Bailey
Looks sort of Egyptian, doesn't it?
Eli Miller
>Every piece of artwork must be 100% true to existing miniatures I hope GW gets away from this current trend desu
Nathan Jenkins
its getting better for sure
Cameron Hernandez
was hoping for more from the Extremis and Varanguard art
Bentley Peterson
existing or planned. look at the shattered dominion board, if you look closely on all the battleplan artwork from nearly all the realmgate wars books, its what's used as a background. no one really picked up on it until we heard rumors of a new board.
Juan Powell
Pretty cool. Some of the sylvaneth pictures fell flat, but the rest stand up well.
Colton Morgan
what are the coolest ones?
Daniel Gray
Then give us the page or tell us nigga Ghur I'm guessing?
Logan Flores
The art was pretty good, a lot of it reminded me of the better art from Warhammer Fantasy and 40k. I hope they keep improving the art and not giving Deviantartists 6 hours to do each piece. I' actually follow some of the artists who got commissioned to do the AoS art and most of the time, the shitty digital art was among their worse work. Thwy aren't all bad artist, but they're probably given very little time or incentive to make anything good
Angel Martin
>However, each Alfrostun’s winter can take a different form depending on the lands they cross or the Frostlord that leads them. The Fraya raid is shrouded in freezing fog that blinds enemies with a white-out, while the arrival of the Sovanheng Alfrostun is heralded by a front of crystal-clear cold so intense that the air freezes beneath pitiless blue skies. The wind that follows the Olgost raid is a legacy of the Cryptwyrd desert, and its scouring gales transform the edge of the Everwinter into an icy sandstorm.
Kayden Rogers
Nice. Also that page is justification for things like red orruks isn't it?
Kayden Hall
If you can come up with a backstory for it.
Gavin Cox
Oh shit Chaos Ogors!
Lucas Watson
>icy sandstorm
Colton Watson
Not really.
David Moore
Boo, that's at least twice now they've used the mercenary excuse for why usually non Chaos guys fight on the side of Chaos.
Eli Edwards
not sure if it is just me, or if Ogre art has become quite... tame. sure, they are in badass poses and all, but it gives me a lot less of the blood, gore and you're-gonna-get-eaten feeling i remember
Michael Peterson
So what does Gorkamorka really look like?
Jacob Bailey
>So you worship Chaos now? yes >Not Gorkamorka No >Are you sure? yes, look, chaos symbols >Are you sure? yes >well ok
>pardon? nothing, hail chaos >right...
Jeremiah Garcia
I thought Ogres worshipped the great maw? They workship the same god as the greenskins now?
Adrian Cook
All of the Destruction Faction worship a different aspect of Gorkamorka.
Gabriel Morris
The Great Maw in AoS is related to Gorkamorka. The Beastclaws don't worship it, they worship Gorkamorka directly and think they can listen to his voice in the winds of the Everwinter.
Another race of Ogors called the Gutbusters worship it.
Easton Collins
>Vinterbad Alfrostun >Winter Bad All Frost Stun
As much as I like AoS, I liked the pig German names for shit in the old world a lot more.
Lincoln Cook
Definitely looks like a big two headed idiot. Or two idiots. Depends if he likes himself on that day or not.
Jace Ortiz
Are their feet hot?
Dylan Perez
not as much as allirally's
Brayden Carter
Not as hot as Alliralli's.
Jack James
Not sure what store you go to, but afaik all the official GW stores got two pieces of the Shattered Dominion board back when AoS first came out. Seriously, I've played a try-out game last year on the board piece with the little bridge over the rift from the Shattered Dominion board. In fact I've been wondering for a damn long time why they didn't just release that new board last year since it was already done by then.
Cooper Rogers
wow actual blood. that's rare
Brandon Davis
>inb4 AoS is less gory than Fantasy
Parker Hernandez
How fucking hard is it to spell alirlelli?
Liam Morgan
Looking to maybe add some ranged firepower to my Death army and I just noticed I have some unbuilt Bretonnian archers lying around.
Would converting those to make em look undead work as Skellie Archers? And are skellie archers even any good?
Nathaniel Peterson
100 points for 10. Max of 30 per unit.
Here's the warscroll, you tell us.
Robert White
there is hundred of AoS pics and maybe 10 of them has blood in them.
Brayden Allen
Well, I've only played one game of AoS previously, so I'm not really able to properly judge unit value yet.
Still, just having a ranged option might be worth it.
