So Im late to the party. What new shit did death get?

Reminder that Dispossessed are crucial to the lore of Age of Sigmar and GW would never dream of squating them from the game.

Nagash will make death great again

So far, nothing but a promise of a new Battletome with like 6 allegiances.

5 more rules to play Death Soup

And Soulblight get new rules, too.

>Undying king epub when

I will, if someone upload the kharadron one.

Sure, let me just buy th-

>Black Library has no paypal option

Nevermind.

You don't have a debit card that works online? What the fuck

Not much in terms of model (the Knight of Shrouds), but 2 huge things in terms of 1. narrative : a global campaign hanneping in Shyish, rules for the realm of death and death stuff in the Malign portents campaign book (and website with cool map of Shyish and other things like this) and 2. rules : Battletome Legions of Nagash, with 6 allegiances abilities, including all the existing Warscrolls SO FAR (GW insisted on this) and a rework of some Warscrolls and army rules (and loads of fluff too).

Btw g8 b8 m8

GRAND

>yfw Aelves get actual new shit and new models for old factions while Death has to be merged and be forced to play Death Soup
>Shillcucks defend this

There was ZERO need to separate out the death factions in the first place and no amount of you autistically screeching "Death Soup" at every turn will change that.

DEATH SOUP

Goblins to get combined battletome like deathsoup tome WHEN

...

>new death battletome is just turning them back into vampire counts
wow thanks GW
You fucking hacks

Yeah but this way they get to sell you 3 books in total

>tfw you paint your models and they look like shit
Feels bad

WELL SHIIEEETT

Has anyone talked about how cool the Knight of Shroud's lore is?

A Stormcast reclaimed by Nagash, that's badass.

Better, to Undead Legions from ET Nagash.

Well, VC + end times stuff - TK, yeah...

Yeah pretty cool. Also he his a bit like the King of Angmar, he got overall control of Nagash's legions

Nope, he is one of many.

>That moment when you go through the vicious cycle of artistry and hate everything you make.

So the Deathcast memes were true? It was just actually good the entire time?

I'm a death player and I'm happy that I get a battletome for my army and I would like to talk about it but I'm so annoyed by the "gab2.0" bullshit I can't stay in this thread(s).

Basically, yeah. Though I doubt all of them were guys who said no to Sigmar.

Oh shit wait. The Knight of Shrouds is a dude that said No to Sigmar?

Josh Reynolds was always hesitant to say what happened when that happened, only that it wasn't pretty.

Come on, man. It's like one or two guys at most. Stop being so thin skinned. I'm happy about it too.

Why would you be hyped for lazy Mixed Death shit?

The character, Keldrek, was. Knights of Shrouds are spirits traitors in general, though.

malignportents.com/characters/#keldrek

There's a video at the bottom that explains what the Knights of Shrouds are, the rest gives a brief overview of who Keldrek is.

maybe he plays mixed death

So how can I paint my Kharadron in a WW1 inspired scheme?

I know i'll do the companies suits in drab and either iron or brass, but how could I do the airships in a way thats reminiscent of ww1 ships?

Different user, but why not?
New rules.
New fluff.
New art pieces.

And I can use all of my models, without the need of buying another new army.

After seeing Legions of Nagash players of other armies also ask for a combined Battletome. Aelves. Skaven. Grots. Freeguild. Yet you, stupid shit, whine and whine about it.

>there are retarded costumers
>who defend GW being lazy fucktards and not giving Death anything or fleshing out their factions with more units
>just releasing Grand Alliance: Death 2.0 and watching these fucktards defend their product
wew

Paint them as they are on black and white photos.

Wait, are flesh eater courts in this new death book?

Tomb King rerelease when?

Ok, let's settle this like adults
strawpoll.me/14784506

Dark Green army drab, Gunmetal, white icons and art on the side.

Art of hot shortstack Kharadons on the side

They are not, they're still using their BT.

>flesh eater courts
Should be, Mannfred can communicate with them.

>Prosecuter Wings are detachable and clip into place for easy transport and no need to magnetize them

>Art of hot shortstack Kharadons on the side
Wrong world war.

I would have liked the option though; Its just that, at this point, I've been using the exact same models for YEARS now. I would like something new to march along my Vampire counts. Order got Stormcast, Chaos got a whole buttload of new mini's, and Destruction got Ironjawz. It would be nice to just have some bew units; maybe even just have a big GA: Death book, but each microfaction gets a new unit. Soulblight gets Blood Knights on foot, Deathrattle gets new Wheel Skeletons or Skeletal Giants, Deadwalkers get a zombie HQ, Ghosts get a ranged unit, etc.

Just more stuff to paint or collect is all I'm asking for.

Oh, sorry. In that case, pic related
Piloted by hot shortstack Kharadron'a

>LoN is the only battletome death will get.

You are both stupid and boring.

i'm both exited for new rules for death combined arms and disapointed for the lack of true new stuff for death
the knight of shroud his awesome though

Sometimes I feel nagsh would be happier if he had a horse to ride into battle

>death gets new book afterwards
>either LoN becomes outdated in a few months or it will have nothing to do with magash or any of the mortarchs

Death will probably get some new shit around may. They’ve said there are new models coming during MP and LoN includes warscrolls for all minis (so far tee hee...).

>no multi-vote option

It's exciting and a lazy as fuck GAD update.

What are keywords?

Buzzwords that don't make 2 books magically one

Legit question to the death autists. Given Nagash is the supreme lord of the undead how would he get a battletome that has anything less than all undead in it? Do you really want a shitty deathlords pamphlet like everchosen?

Rules are free m8. Your invalidated crap is about 2 years and one dead game late.

Any leaks?

We only know that Knight of Shrouds is a Nighthaunt hero and the Fungus Grot is a Moonclan hero.

Wtf guys you didn't tell me this was supposed to be his actual mouth

He's not a Stormcast. He was meant to be, but refused to be forged into a Stormcast and joined Nagash instead. At least that's how I understood it.

We're sorry. In our defense, we didn't know you were blind, user.

We also know that the Stormcast hero is a stormcast hero and the chaos hero is a chaos hero.

Are you sure? :^)

Was it not obvious?

Who is this dude? The image is called "The Knight", so is it the/a Knight of Shrouds giving himself to Nagash?

Also this might be my favourite piece of AoS art ever. What's your guys favourite AoS art?

>favorite AoS art?
this

Good taste

Yeah I mean we were talking about the KoS in singular but yeah they are many. And those guys can come to a Underworlds and say "I'm the boss here now".

Also, Angmar reference because ghost + a helmet.

And we know why the Community posts were confusing about the "are X Heralds special characters or not ?".

It's because rule wise they are non-Unique characters, but on the box art and in the MP fluff we'll follow one of each.

Two things.

1. The name doesn't mean shit because the Nagash wallpaper is called "The Warrior" (WTF?).

2. IMO it's a normal human from Azyr attacked by spooky ghosts (either a new free people model - kek - or a celestial battlemage). It's definitely NOT a stromcast, because proportions and different armor style, smaller pauldrons, etc.

>no stromcast because smaller pauldrons
user pls....

>and different armor style,
The dude have shoulders of SCE with hammers from the starter

The first MP teaser last year already said he Nighthaunt.

Tho I'd like to know if the Warqueen is listed Slaves to Darkness (like the Chieftain) or Darkoath proper.

If it's the case, it's another hint for a Darkoath faction release (with pic related)

>>yfw Aelves get actual new shit and new models for old factions while Death has to be merged and be forced to play Death Soup
>for old factions
Yeah, just like dispossesed

Ah yeah, like this image is "Realms"

Yeah but all Azyr guys have comets and shit.
Look at the Exclesior Warpriest or at pic related.

Here this guy really has less armor than a SCE, including the Ordinator, and has new things like robes and bigger gorget. And pointy ears.

only 1000x smaller

Also, I can't find it, but Lady Atia said at AOS Lauch that GW had plans for a Barbarians faction.

In the mobile version of the AOS starter book there is a larger version of this Blood warriors artwork, you can see Darkoath chieftains looking-guys.

see

>only 1000x smaller
Well, GW hiring cheap freelancers from Deviantart so msot of their arts are fucked up, nothing new.

Don't give him (you)s. You know he picked the models with the biggest pauldrons for cheap bait.

Pretty sure that's a blood angel space marine.

...

...

just need to file down the shoulder- and knee-pads of the flying dudes, then im down until i get my heads.
the roundshields are what im planning on using, filing down the SCE emblems like on the big shield.
Im also thinking about swapping the hammer of the hero for a staff, cutting the crossguards of the swords to look less lightning-like, and maybe giving them tabards to hide the muscle-plate, but I don't know yet.

Any change to the maggoth lords user?

>Legion of Nagash
>notice the pity rules for Soulblight in this mixed death battletome

SOULBLIGHT CONFIRMED FOR RELEVANT FACTION

EAT SHIT, NIGHTHAUNT AND FEC!

Any sightings of the Hammerhal and Other Stories, Overlords of the Iron Dragon and the advent 2017 short stories and audios yet?

the tabards sound like a serious work of greenstuff

just filling the pectoral slit looks easier to do

Is the Arachnarok good?

I've always loved the model, and I would love to ally it to my Ironjawz and Moonclan grots, but I'm not 100% certain.

>EAT SHIT FEC
>When FEC are still the only ones with their own battletome and Soulblight are only getting pity rules in a mixed death battletome.
Stay jelly of our courts.

It's great. So so reliable. It does everything. 2 spells. Mortal wounds. Loads of other attacks. Big movement over terrain. Ranged. Blocks line of sight.

Funny how the fyreslayers still manage to look by far the most homo-erotic in that pic.

I'm really glad to hear that! I'll do it then, thanks

It synergizes best with some spiderfang, but it is a good beastie to have regardless. You're not putting yourself at a disadvantage for taking it

I thought that FEC are in bad shape right now desu

Any number of models —> great
But in Matched play is it 1+ or minimum 2 ?

Hmm yeah, but here there is really a different armor style. And I don't know any other GW / Deviant artworks with such a size difference too.

WTF with this Pauldron meme ?
this guy refered directly to the Retributors in the AOS starter, and it's true their right shoulder has a similar shape than "the knight", only really bigger. I posted the Retributor pic for comparison.
