Age of Sigmar General ! /aos/

Depends on the rules wording according to today's faq

warhammer-community.com/2016/12/22/faq-update-for-warhammer-age-of-sigmar/

Reminder that new FAQs got released

Well, I guess I'll do 20 Clanrats w/ Spears and 20 w/ Swords.

Any other critiques?

Looks like a good starter list.

I recommend a Warp Lightning Cannon next

He already has one.

It depends on the unit warscroll.

Brutes can mix weapons because it says they can mix weapons.

Saurus Warriors must be equipped the same because it says the entire unit must be equipped the same.

So have 2 total?

I know, I mean he should get another one

Yup

Reminder that battalions don't work with keywords.

theres to little room to do anything else with the list so try that first given it uses the model you have.
the only way to do something else at 1k is to remove the clanrat alltogether, so try to use this list foe a couple of games first.

Already bought one SC! Skaven; should I pick up another? Gives me another Cannon and gives me 40 total Plague Monks. But not sure I need another Bell/ Furnace

>tfw want new army
>barely anything released yet
>want to avoid situation that i buy army and something cooler comes out right after
life is just perpetual agony.
what do

Was this even a problem for anyone?
if the bataillon says "MORTAL TZEENTCH" its any "MORTAL TZEENTCH" units amd if it says "CHAOS KNIGHT" its only chaos knight.

you would have to be a nice little fucker to argue something else thats what on BOLD in the keyword

Which Allegiance do you prefer ?

There's a guy who wanted to take a dragon archmage instead of normal archmage in the dawnspire battallion, for example, since the one on dragon also has the archmage keyword.

>warhammer-community.com/2016/12/22/faq-update-for-warhammer-age-of-sigmar/
clanrat nerfs REEEE

You are such a fag

>I wonder which kind a faggot could argue something so stupid /Powergame his way above the rules

Oh its an ELF PLAYER. HOW SURPRISING.

Do people like that ever stop to consider they are cunts?

so I've used a friends unit of skinks and came to like them as a screen, and ordered my own but have two tiny complaints.
One is that you can't do javelins and clubs, despite that clearly being a bits option.
The other being that javelins are just as shit in melee as blowpipes. Which seems dumb, I don't expect the skins to be a melee unit, but stabbing people with a javeline seems more effective than hitting them with the blowpipe. Also with not being able to use a club with the javelin, it makes them that the worst option for melee. 5+/5+ doesn't seem like to much to ask for.

The original FAQ said that Battalions were based on keyword and not the name of the unit.

It was a dick move but it was legal.

Boltspitters and Javelins are almost identical in melee but javelins are slightly better at doing damage in the shooting phase.

Either way you almost never strike in melee with Skinks because you should be retreating with them using the Wary Fighters ability, so it's a moot point.

i thought about getting something from Chaos but i am not sure how long should i wait

Can't wait to drink the tears of FEC players as their Ghoul King on fuck off bat now must pay reinforcement points with the fucking ring of immortality.
Fuck the bone zone

>check the Facebook comments
>literally everyone bitching about the Ring of Immortality

Is this just Death players being salty or is this an genuine concern?

Many death players feel they got shafted beforehand, like with summoning. Probably a 50/50 mix of salt and genuine feels.

So, no Great Gitmob in matched play until gits get their own book.

It was a necessary change because people were ressurecting big models that could heal.

It was fine for small heroes with 5-6 wounds and no healing but it was legitimately overpowered on Terrorgheists and Warsphinxes.

Ghouls ain't the bone zone, bro. Don't hate on the wrong people.

There were people who didn't spam black books on every hero that could carry one and take a Mournghul for good measure?

If anything the Bonezone still suffer because they don't have a Deathrattle Wizard to make use of summoning.

Just Death fags being fags.
Most of their damn units already regenerate each turn for free, but they just have to find something to bitch about, as they dip paint another 40 skeletons or some shit

well if Chaos is split in 4 Gods, skaven and beastmen (will be included in gods books)

If you wanted anything to do with the god of change, its safe to say that the upcomming book will be good for at least 5 year, and will let you field anything chaos of tzeentch but skaven.
if you are into another god, save and wait a couple more month.

Fine. Fuck the Ghoul...zone. or whatever they call themselves. But really, just fuck death.

Why ? what was replaced ?

Yeah, I paint and highlight every one individually, going to convert heroes too, skelly necros and liches on the way.

Goblin units are now called Grots, but the old battalion calls them by the old name, ergo, no use of updated warscrolls in the Gitmob.

Proof or GTFO

i wont refuse a game against a grot player for something that stupid tho.

well i don't like Nurgle
Khorne is a mixed bag, kinda overused everywhere
Dunno about Tzeench at all
Didn't Slaanesh get rekt?

But there's no Deathrattle allegiance perks so... who cares?

If you're playing Deathrattle without Settra you're already playing the game wrong.

I would.
Fuck grots.

>well i don't like Nurgle
pathetic

This is really cool. What is the sauce of this?

Not him but I put effort into my skellies

Tzeentch is about color blue, magic, plans and chicken. There's not much else to know, really.

Oh and mutated horrible dudes too.

And it's reeking hindquarters?

That was the best part senpai.
Just wish Sigmar would have smacked that fucking elf cunt for being all prissy.
"No sigmar human MENZ often don't listen" wah wah wah life bitch.

> thick paint
> Shit dry brush job
> still a lot of mold lines
user I shudder to think what LESS effort on your part looks like

Just because he put effort into something, it doesn't mean it is good.

I mean hell, I put the same amount of effort into both of these Dryads, but the difference is I got more experienced and learnt how to do things properly.

he's ugly and stinks
can i get chicken tenders if i play him?

still better than you fielding unpainted/barely assembled waac armies.

...

Well if the battalion says "AELF, ARCHMAGE" (IDK what it actually says but hear me out) and the archangel on dragon has those keywords then it fits, I don't really see that as being cunty. It's literally what the battalion calls for, RAW and all that.

Or am I misunderstanding the scenario?

user if you want me to congratulate you on using slightly LESS paint, and using the old 'dot of white, green wash' eye technique (which isn't a bad technique, admittedly) you came to the wrong place

These dryads suck though

> Barely assembled
Yes, i have stuff to assemble
> unpainted
I don't use unpainted or unbased models. So my army grows slowly, but doesn't look like shit.
Also how is scores of shit painted skeleton blobs NOT WAAC? Add one hero at the back for deathless minions and the bastards never die.

...

> sideways picture
Senpai.....
> base coat, wash, dry brush
No highlights... Sword could have decent rust effects, but can't tell from your shit picture. Based on the rest of it though... probably not

So, question: Im the guy from the last thread who asked about the Malignanr SC box, and I was wondering what I should do from here. Here's my current list so far:

70 Skeletons
10 Ghouls
15 Grave Guard
5 Black Knights
5 Hex Wraithes
5 Blood Knights
3 Vargheists
1 Zombie Dragon/w Vampire Knight
1 Necrosphinx
1 Skull Catapult with crew
1 Casket of Souls
1 Feral Ghoul King
2 Tomb Kings
2 Necromancers
1 Wight King
1 Vampire Lady

Im just trying to choose between the two different configurations for the Engine/Throne and the Wraiths/Knights. Any thoughts for which would be better?

>user if you want me to congratulate you on using slightly LESS paint, and using the old 'dot of white, green wash' eye technique (which isn't a bad technique, admittedly) you came to the wrong place

Can't say your approval is worth anything anyway, but I wasn't posting for it. Just trying to make the guy you decided to shit talk for no reason feel better.

Also, if you are going to rag on others models, it is only polite to post your own.

On the topic though, I am not sure if it is worth redoing the bases with texture paint instead of sand. I don't know which one would make a better looking forest floor. I do know I need to make it a bit darker, no matter what I do.

>Pics or GTFO

Sideways because phone is being a bitch, and there are highlights. Didn't say I was a master painter, either. I do my best on every mini though.

For good forest floor basing, weirdly enough, try a thingy of mixed herbs. Grind them down a little bit and then glue down with PVA or superglue, seal them with gloss varnish and then paint. Gives a really nice organic look, perfect for forest floors with all the leaf litter and scrub. I'd post a picture of mine but I sold those dryads a while back.

If you want a "complete" death army...

you lack 30+ ghouls
20 blackknight/hex wraiht
Fuckload of vargeist/Crypt Horror/Crypt Flayers
Couple wargulf
Mortis machine

But much more importantly :
Morghasts and Mortarchs

like I said, tiny complaints.
It doesn't effect how I'm going to use them really, but it felt weird cutting off all the clubs for javelin guys. Why are they not an option? I have the parts right here, they fit fine, but I can't use them.

But really they're there to be an a very efficent screen. If I get 2 unsaved wounds out of the unit over a game I'm impressed.

Oregano user?

>fuck grots

Crypt Horrors and Varghulfs are actually on my to buy list, but I'm not exactly fond of the Flesh Eater courts. They seem a little too focused on formations and battalions, and the court themselves, where Im trying to focus more on Death as a whole. Plus, Varghulfs are still Finecrap, and I've already painted shit tons of skeles.

Same with the Morghasts, but at the moment, im holding off on the Mortarchs: The whole goal of my Vampiress is that she wishes to prove herself to Nagash and become a mortarch herself.

Nah brah Moon grots are mah boyz.
Just git mob grots. And spider grots.

>the Ring of Immortality requires reinforcement points

guise, got some cash from work lately.
Should i get ps4 or warhammer jew stuff

how the fuck are we supposed to answer that

buy what you want

dunno man, i'm indecisive as fuck

You should buy Total War: Warhammer instead.

well theyre totally different kinds of entertainment

do you want video games or a long hobby to work on

Well, call me retarded but where can I find rules about building skaven army? I have read their battletome but have find no word about their keyword rules

they dont have any yet

only sylvaneth, beastclaw raiders, and bonesplitterz have allegiance bonuses

everyone else uses the generic stuff in the generals handbook

Ok anons, I need you to clarify something. I am an old High Elf player from WHFB.
When AoS got released with the lack of points for play plus scrapping the fluff that I loved for years, I got really upset and sort of just moved on to play other games and just stopped paying attention to any AoS stuff.

Recently I have been made aware that there is again structured play in AoS and I am willing to give it a shot since, but I was wondering, have the legacy army warscrolls also been updated with points?

I feel ready to give to give AoS a shot and If I but I would rather keep the Ulthuan/Old World theme instead of the Aelve stuff, but the GW info regarding the status of Aelves/High Elves has left me confused.

Can I still field a High Elf army on structured play? Or do I need to switch to the Aelves lists like Draconis/Phoenix Councillists? Because that would make a large part of my existing army unsupported since their minis aren't on those lists.

TL;DR: Can I play and expect playing with my old WHFB High Elf army in AoS structured play?

The General's Handbook has points values for all of the discontinued units in the 'Compedniums' section.

but it's the most jew game i've ever seen righ after csgo
both, but i have cash for one ;_;

well you keep using "jew" as a casual slur so im gonna tell you to fuck off back to /pol/ you retard

Also this means you can't use the old empire battalion anymore right?

Not that user but could you, say, choose between using Skaven allegiance bonuses and Grand Alliance Chaos bonuses when they have both available? Or do the faction-specific rules override Alliance rules?

rude

You can pick and choose traits and artifacts for any allegiance you qualify for

So you can pick Beastclaw Raiders as your allegiance but still take Chaos allegiance bonuses

It *is* a powerful tool, but if it costs reinforcement points it should probably heal to full.

Ah ok, I went to recheck the warscroll since I just assumed they would have updated them, guess it was there
