Lesbian Doom Chariot coming through.

Second for best and most balanced faction

Don't forget to oil your Gryph-Hounds!

Yeah as someone who happily runs bullshit extremis lists, they absolutely get attention when put on the table from onlookers in the store.

Just made a Rotbringers Sorcerer out of the free slaughterpriest model. I think it turned out well.

thats nice, where are the new tomb kings?

>meanwhile in canada

Canada and the north central and north eastern USA

With how our January and December went here in Idaho, I would have thought a beastrider pack had passed through town.

I'm wanting to do a small freeguild force that I can also double as characters for Mordheim. My idea was that they were a town watch but had to abandon their settlement due to >Insert Horrible Monster< . The thing is though is that I really don't know all that much about AoS and I don't even know how to flesh this out or even if it makes sense for the setting. Any ideas or help for someone that might end up getting into AoS?

Read the last tzeentch book, city of secrets

It makes sense for the setting. There are only four cities under Order right now, but plenty of scattered human settlements, particularly in the Realm of Azyr.

...

Does anyone have a PDF or epub of Disciples of Tzeentch?

The mega links in the OP won't stop "loading".

God damn, looks amazing

So, are the new cavalry units for Stormcast good?

I think they are good. They're mobile and good at harrying enemies. I think that opens up a new dimension for SCE where in addition to deep striking (which you get by default), you can rush troops across the board in case you make a tactical mistake here and there.

Personally, I think they are a good addition, but with my budget most likely I won't be fielding any of them.

Extremis chamber ftw.

Anything I need to read to make sense of it or to put it into context?

How are human magic users in the setting? I know that in Warhammer they were treated much the same way as magic users are treated in european folklore and ascribed to many European stereotypes for mages, druids, alchemists and what have you.

What are your favourite Extremis units? Mine have to be Concussors.

Squatted.

Concussors on paper, but since I'm so shit at positioning, most of the time I just field Fulminators + Heraldor and cross my fingers.

>How are human magic users in the setting? I know that in Warhammer they were treated much the same way as magic users are treated in european folklore and ascribed to many European stereotypes for mages, druids, alchemists and what have you.

There isn't too much on them in that regard, other than that they're trained in Azyrheim. Chances are, they're probably pretty rare because of that, although it'd be fair to suggest that human mages are popping up in human settlements outside of Sigmar's city.

The mage in your team could be one that chose to make his/her home in/near their home town, in order to study the region, or maybe searching for some hidden artifact. Maybe that hidden artifact was the reason why the town was destroyed, sought after by some Chaos marauders.

Or maybe the mage was just passing through when everything went down, and he/she unleashed hell and revealed what they were, saving who they could.

Might I remind you

>deep striking concussors

Thanks, you're really helping me hammer down what I'm wanting to do here. What can you tell me about settlements? I've always loved the 15th century style of Warhammer but I don't know if that's the norm in AoS. All of the artwork that I've seen for AoS has been really epic high-fantasy.

Also how are mixed races treated? Would you find elves and drawves hanging out with humans and vise versa?

Thank fucking god I magnetised them arms right? Hyped for the new battletome.

>deep striking concussors 9" away from everything

I can only get so erect

Same here. I'm debating whether do get it or more Judicators.

What I mean is they deep strike with the restriction that they must be 9" away from crap, and that is their move. So they need to make 9" charges or get shot to shit.

>What can you tell me about settlements? I've always loved the 15th century style of Warhammer but I don't know if that's the norm in AoS.
The norm seems to be nomadic tribes, but that's mainly a result of the Age of Chaos where humans that weren't in Azyrheim had to either submit to the Chaos gods or be constantly on the run.

HOWEVER, that period of human existence seems to be coming to an end now that Order has one their first big victory in the Realmgate Wars, where they established the three new cities in the Realm of Life. Plus, the Freeguilds existed prior to this victory, and their whole thing is building settlements and fortresses, so there's plenty of room for cultural identity. Your home town could've been an outpost established by a guild to keep watch over an area, for example, with all the guns and Holy Rome aesthetic you like.

>Also how are mixed races treated? Would you find elves and drawves hanging out with humans and vise versa?
Yes. The city in City of Secrets has dwarves as part of the aristocracy, and (dark) elves essentially running the docks as something akin to the mafia. It's worth noting, though, that that's one of the big-big cities, so it likely varies from place to place. The full-on cities likely have a lot of integration, but more isolated settlements could range from friendly to wary, depending on how you like it.

It's also probably worth noting that elves are known to be scouts and messengers for the Stormcast and Freeguilds.

Deep strike a Lord-Castellant Beside them, so they get 2+ re-rollable armour saves. Problem solved if you're worried they'll die

That, or take the ability to reroll charges, and pack all 4 concussors into a single unit. Gotta get really unlucky to have them blown to bits before they see action: they have 3+ saves and reroll 1s, with 5 wounds each.

Nasty unit. I like the new allegience ability in general. I wonder if Skyborne Slayers will be changed due to it.

No, there are multiple cities that have cropped up in reclaimed territory in the other realms.
It's been three or four generations since the Allgates book. Settlements usually have a majority of one particular race, but will have typically have other races mixed in together.
Human mages are typically found as part of a college of the Collegiate Arcane. They're somewhat rare and reclusive, but the more high fantasy setting of Agr of Sigmar means that the average person has at least seen some magical events or creatures in their lifetime.
Building styles seem to be largely the same as the Old World, with a dominant Tudor style. But duardin, aelves l, and other races have their own architectural style, as well as different cultures and cities varying in design. A chapel worshipping Sigmar in the realm of heavens would look different than a church to Nagash in the realm of death

From the looks of it, most battalions will be changed, due to SC dudes getting deep strike by default. I do see a few new battalions too.

So what would a good nurgle daemon list look like? I posted one two threads ago, but I got the feeling from the replies that I did grandfather an injustice.

any tips for a good looking tzeentch daemon prince?

Cuncussors are the go to extremis unit but don't forget fulminators. They're not just good for the charge, they'll each do 2 mortal wounds per shooting attack (which they get D3 of each) within 3" which really, really makes a difference in a unit of 4

Yeah but cuncussors have badass shooting within 12"

If you're looking for shooting, then drop tempestors, because they're cheaper and have better shooting. Even then I would likely just drop judicators with xbows because they are even cheaper with more shooting.

The shooting for extremis is just a bonus, a big bonus, but it's still sidekick to the excellent melee prowess and durability of cuncussors.

Doesn't look like Skyborne Slayers is part of the list, so it's unchanged.

Aw hell yes.

>Here you go

Can regular daemons have names? I mean daemons like Bloodletters, Pluagebeares, etc. I want to have some daemons on my hinterlands warband, that's why I'm wondering.

If it's not part of the list it means it's removed from competitive play.

Sure man, they're just rare and unique in some way.

Epidemius is just an elevated Plaguebearer.

So make yours stand out. I saw a guy on
one of my favorite gaming blogs convert a Plaguebearer with a different head, gave it huge horns and a huge rash of buboes all over his head. Called him the "Red King".

Options are limitless.

Not true, Skyborne and Warrior Brotherhood are from other publications and have points in TGH. However, v2 is coming soon so they'll probably be removed for final then.

Looks great! Make sure you post images once it's painted

Still has a point cost associated in the GHB and it's originally not from the Stormcast book, but from the webstore. If it's not in the GHB 2.0, then it'll be removed from competetive play.

What kind of role do the gryph riders have compared to the dracoth cav?

Alright, that's good to hear. How should I go about naming a swarm of Nurglings?

Flankers and harassers. They are not really light cavalry by and stretch of the imagination, but in comparison to the heavy-duty linebreakers that are the Dracothian Guard they are fairly weedy.
In practice, their potent mobility and solid ranged capabilities allow them to exploit weaknesses in the opponent's formation, murdering key heroes or making a mess of warmachine crews. And if they do get charged, each of them is still equal to a lesser hero at 5 wounds with a 4+ and a reasonable melee profile.
It's a shame you can't build an all-cavalry force between Palladors and Dracothian Guard.

I'm pretty sure all Daemons have a true name that keep secret.

It's how they can be controlled with The Grimoire of True Names.

Gubnubs. Don't question it.

all daemons have names

some may even have families, who knows?

Well, they do have brothers and sisters, we know that. Beyond that, I doubt families outside of Nurgle's big, happy hugging group.

Lead adventure for expensive but great models.

First for enormous thighs that could crush a man

So my friend and I agreed to try this AOS My arsehole mate learnt that Slyvaneth are the best power players and is snapping them up on the Ebays.

I don't give a shit, what's the best counter to this min maxing arsehole and his tree gits

Play beastmen, they are the most powerful army in the game :^

Respond in kind. Grab beastclaw and see who has the better cheese.

Talk to him, tell him that you don't want to him to field the most powerful units every game, ask to play some narrative games, make up your own scenarios, etc. just pick the army you like and have fun.

Pick an army you actually like, so when his gets nerfed he's stuck with an army he doesnt like and models he doesnt want, whilst you get to enjoy the hobby aspect of the hobby.

would it be good to get some spear chukkas or another artillery unit (or any other unit) from the greenskins to add to my gutbuster list (wthout beastclaw stuff)

whats the most op beastclaw cheese in 1500 points? when you need 3+| battleline.

Don't be a shit and tell him to not be a shit, either. Sylvaneth, while strong, are hardly the best army in the game.

3x 10 savage orc arrer boyz
And other than that you want at least one thundertusk and the rest stonehorns

Rotpope niceeeeeee ,paint him white

If you are all beastclaw, almost every unit is a battleline. There're a bunch of cheese lists out there for 1.5k and 2k.

i'm going for my first in-store game tomorrow with a vanguard list, and i was just wondering, is there a limit to how many Leader type models you can take?

my list:
Sayl the Faithless + nightmaw
5 blightkings
10 plaguebearers
3 plague drones
8 chaos familiars
9 nurglings
3 demon plague toads

Read the General's Handbook or use scrollbuilder.com/.
it's not that difficult.

Khorne loves violence. All violence. Even domestic violence. Probably a batch of daemons dedicated to that.

Slambo? plastic or resin?

Did I over greenstuff the shoulders?

Cont,

Any noticeable difference between krylon matte white primer and the GW shit?

wait. the frenzied mob rule also counts for ranged weapons?

>Still no way to make Dracothion units Battleline
>Not even if you she'll put for the dopey Stardrake model

It's not fair.

looks good. i am just wondering if they really needed to be more buff.

Not really feeling this one. No new sculpts at all. And it's not a pseudo-Start Collecting box like the previous one was.

Do we have any idea who/what Slambo is?

>Do we have any idea who/what Slambo is?

A 3 second google search, my man

Look at any meta list and just take moonclan Grots and fanatics. Learn to use them well and his charges will be three turn endeavors.

>Your friends swore they would play Warhammer Quest with you
>they promised
>The didn't

The love I have for Warhammer Quest (original) cannot be put into the words

I want to own this as it looks like it could be a generic crawl through a dungeon as opposed to a magical vortex made of crystal and dreams

But i'll just be playing it against myself again :(

Arrow Boyz aren't battle line. But yes, they get 3 shots per model while the unit is over 20.

See: Kunnin' Rukk for additional cheese.

Sorry, guess I used the wrong search term when trying to find out more info earlier. So just a re-release then? Not a new sculpt like that Canoness they did earlier.

OCD kicking in. Must. Have. Even. Plaguebearer. Units.
