I'm building some Realm of Death themed terrain. This is my first tree... I'm goingbto get the basing to be darker/more textured on the rest, now that I've actually got the first one in a state where I can see the big picture, y'know?

Jose Gomez
looks good user, once it's darkened up they'll look fitting.
I'm working on the test models for their respective units of stormcast. middle one's very wip, but you get the idea
Leo Lee
Looks good user, darker base and maybe some skellies and graphics especially and it would look great.
Elijah Foster
Praise Joko
Sebastian Rogers
Hey, thanks. Many of the other trees have skulls on the bases, and a couple have some of the hanging skull bundles from the Ghorgon kit in the branches. Asbfor signage, the idea I have is to have the trees on these little bases, then have a bigger base with slots for 3-4 of them. I figured I could take a few of the bases and do gravestones/death themed statues to spookify each little copse of trees.
Dylan Garcia
Also, I like 'em. I take it the idea is to show off a bit of the culture they came from before reforging?
Jackson Ward
Is it just one guy who posts “le epic soup meme” all the time and trying to force it down, thus making the general so shitty?
Joshua James
One on the right looks best.
The heads on the others don't work; it's just a blatantly different aesthetic while the hoods are fairly neutral.
Mason Ramirez
yeah the decimators were an old empire greatsworder unit that was particularly awesome and died fighting the glotkin during the end times scouring of the empire. the protectors were from a proud, noble barbarian tribe, the judicators were dickhead dark riders, etc.
David Wilson
How many times does this have to be said?
Phil Kelly said on WHTV said the number of people/entities that survived from the world-that-was to the mortal realms can be counted on two hands.
I.e. only gods and very powerful individuals like mannfred etc survived.
Your dudes did not come from the old world; that's not an opinion, that's a fact. No one survived, and stormcast come from mortals from the mortal realms; even SCE from the anvils of the heldenhammer chamber don't come from the mortal realms, they come from long-dead souls found in shyish.
Daniel Richardson
right, long dead souls what's the problem?
Colton Sullivan
with the new summoning rules, would it be feasible to make an "elite" skeletons army by having a posse of heroes follow each unit of skeletons/graveguard around?
Also I couldn't help but notice that their post about the cafe just says "North America" without getting into any specifics. North America is a big place...
Alexander Nelson
New summoning rules? Please enlighten me on this senpai
Jace Davis
not changing how summoning works, just how death armies interact with it
>Firstly, summoning for Death units has been fundamentally changed in the new battletome, regardless of how you build your army. Rather than being summoned through magical means, several Death units now possess the Summonable keyword. This keyword unlocks all sorts of synergies and combos with the rest of your army, the simplest being that most Death heroes now possess an ability called Deathly Invocation. This ability heals a number of Summonable units every turn or restores lost models to the unit.
Brayden Gonzalez
well the picture is of just the US, so I think that's telling.
units have a SUMMONABLE keyword now, and apparently pop out of four gravesite markers on the table and still cost reinforcement points to set up so it's like old summoning only worse. although obviously we don't know everything yet but it seems like a nerf to an already underwhelming mechanic in an already underwhelming grand alliance.
Jacob Price
Aww, I was hoping that I could finally use my contaigion points for something useful in matched play
Adrian Rivera
even if it is just the US, that is still a geographically very big place.
Aaron Thompson
The long dead are still not from the world-that-was
Carter Nguyen
Expounding on this; its been thousands of years since the world-that-was. Given the sheer scale of AoS, even if it was possible that people survived (it's not), the idea that you would find such a soul in any form is super unlikely.
Kevin Scott
Maybe a macuffin from the old world kept around some souls to the mortal realms? I don’t know, it’s up to the user’s “Your Dudes”.
Easton Thomas
nah they can just represent free peoples and be old greatsworders from that army just as easily. Drawing each unit from a different culture for reforging was the theme much more than what they happened to do before they died, i just threw in some end times stuff cuz i listened to a lore YouTube about it and didn't watch that whtv that apparently talks about even the souls of the dead not persisting to the new world.
Bentley Mitchell
i'm pretty hyped for LoN but don't you guys think too that the allegiance abilities got out of hand
the legion of sacrament has three + gravesides the grand host of nagash has at least two + gravesides
and on top the battalion rules i'm already annoyed by it
Brayden Jackson
Yes. He actually thinks that he is being hilarious.
Brandon Jackson
Your dudes, dude. In his head he can do whatever he wants.
Dylan Parker
I think it works, since it really allows the older units of death to shine in different ways. But I hope this doesn't mean that future armies will get as many allegiance abilities (it's not impossible considering how many Kharadron Overlords have).
Aiden Martinez
Sure but i at least want to follow basic rules of the setting. You don't want people rolling their eyes when you're fielding blood warriors in full sigmarite armor "my dudes are respected by khorne and sigmar so its cool"
Colton Bailey
An undead warrior is quintessentially a paradoxical design Whenever you choose to have the warrior you're creating to be undead, you choose the step away from the cloud of concepts that sorrounds wholeness, which inevitably contains an always relatively greater quantity of muscles, in looks and actions both as far as humanoids are concerned By choosing the unead, then you are intentionally making your warrior weaker and the question follows on why making a warrior weak, where the purpose of a warrior requires it to be as strong as possible; the answers can sound multiple but they boil down to a sole denominator After showing weakness you may then display what a "real" warrior of that kind, or of another, is capable; for this intent the closest natural concept (as in a concept that mantains its qualities without artificial interventions to mantain relative positions) to that same warrior, but stronger, is the same warrior but alive, but in explaining a scale of powers, after lesser comes normal and only after normal comes greater, so, starting from the assumption that the undead warrior created previously is not the norm of its kind, but always a weaker version of its human variant, it becomes apparent how counterintuitive it is to display the strength of a warrior above the norm by having it confront a weak one, rather than a normal one, unless the intention was to display how the norm is greater than the lesser, but when is that ever asked? If the purpose of inherent weakness isn't to lose, then, it's left for it to draw or even win with the opposing embodiment of relative greater strenght, but unless we're talking about an unequal confrontation, where other factors influence the outcome, the one and only place where a lesser shows to be greater than a greater is in an absurd situation, something that exists only to break expectations through non sequitur, which stands from the dawn of time as one of the pillars of comedy An undead warrior is quintesentialy a joke
Lucas Gray
Strength of the undead is in numbers and endless march forwards. Undead will never stop, never get tired, never die. You break apart a skeleton and the necromancer raises it again. Every time one of theirs kills one of yours they gain a soldier. You cannot hope to win against a foe like that. One way or another everyone serves in the army of the dead.
Jeremiah Cooper
Say that to a vampire blending your face with a spoon
Isaac Jones
>not having the top slightly covered in black ashes
Blake Evans
But zhufbar managed to have descendants cross, the slann are also all survivors, lots of chaos champions from those times and I doubt skavenblight was empty when teleported over
either the two hands in question are of tzeentch, or phil kelly is exaggerating to bring across the point that people should not expect stuff to be linked/related/originating from the old world
Easton James
Wasn't there something in the very first book for aos telling there were other souls attached to the core of the old world that spread in azyrheim?
Connor Wilson
Many people survived the End Times and reached the mortal realms. A few of them survived the thousands of years that was the period of Age of Myth to the Age of Sigmar. What's left are their descendants.
Evan Rodriguez
It's a moot point; no ordinary people exist in present-day age of sigmar from the world that was.
Aaron Scott
Their grandkids do though.
Kayden Young
okay great but that's really beside the point
Logan King
Big Morathi tits right in my face
Nolan Lewis
What tits?
Andrew Parker
*Big Morathi sports bra right in my face
Owen Morales
I bet Morathi has really wrinkly elbows.
Liam Edwards
Fantasy player here. I'm thinking of just giving AoS a go but I'm not sure what malign portents is supposed to be. Is it a campaign or something?
Samuel Stewart
It's a campaign.
Mason Taylor
oh that's not that interesting
Jayden Ward
What did you think it might be besides a campaign?
Elijah Gutierrez
More or less, it seems to be a year long event focusing on the realm of death. Starting sometime In Feb we have the first 6week campaign. Best time to start so you can build up your army as you go through the campaign. Also 2 new start collecting give you more options on which armies to start.
Jackson Johnson
I've never really gave a care for aos, hence why I asked.
Landon Thomas
"PEOPLE OF THE MORTAL REALMS, DO NOT INTERFERE, OUR INTENTIONS ARE PEACEFUL, WE ARE THE KHARADRON OVERLORDS!"
Tyler Brown
No. People that managed to survive were not randos. No random imperial helbardier survived the passing. People who had their gods' favor, or who themselves knew how to escape, did. So you know, slann, archaon and a bunch of other champions, some elves, maybe one or two human wizards. Some skaven, prolly, since Skavenblight seems to have been moved to Chaos realms altogether.
Seems lance is better on the initial charge but weaker on prolonged fighting. I've never played the table-top before so not sure what situation i'd find myself in the most.
Sebastian Kelly
In general, you prolly want the helbards. Lances wound on 3+ during charge...and helbards do every time.So you get just damage boost, but with only 3 in unit, you are no putting out enough damage to destroy or break any significant enemy groups on just charge..
Oliver Thompson
Yeah halberds; demigryphs are great at running at and holding objectives.
Also they look better.
Matthew Diaz
I’m gonna start aos with a death army for the campaign, so I was gonna but two boxes of skeletons along with other stuff. I wanted to build one box with swords s and one with spears so that I could attack a unit with my swords and still get some hits in with the longer range of the spears. Is this a good idea? Should I build both boxes with swords or spears and buy boxes for the other weapon later?
Nolan Kelly
Thanks, I'm gonna go with two halberds and a sword (looks cooler imo) and set one of the halberd wielders to the preceptor so he can attack twice.
Samuel Jackson
You need to get at least one model out of charging unit within 0,5" of enemy, so you can't just use sword skelly unit as buffer for spears (well, not without some acrobatics in model placement). Better to build one 20-strong unit with one kind of weapon imo.
Julian Cox
Doesn't matter what you model him with, the whole unit has to be armed the same. So you might
Hunter Mitchell
Anyone got a clue when DoK book drops?
Adam Rivera
I'm pretty sure you can have multiple different weapons in the one unit though?
Joshua Russell
Current rumour mill are saying either march or april.
Jonathan Murphy
Only if the scroll gives you such an option. The gryph says: Some units of Demigryph Knights wield Lances and Swords, while others are armed with Cavalry Halberds.
Some units, not models. So you have no weapon options within the unit once you decide what to arm them with.
Eli Scott
How are Sylvaneth doing?
I am tempted to start a Sylvaneth army to crusade against death for the glory of the everqueen.
Christopher Rogers
Yeah, I assume in one or two months, possible March's WD is about it
Julian Lee
Very strong.
Daniel Jenkins
Have fun buying trees, mate.
Gabriel Ramirez
So I am considering starting an AoS army with Lizardmen as I think they are cool minis and their lore is among my favourite (at least from WHFB), however I am a novice painter and I would not consider playing without painted models. Is it worth it to try them out? there are other factions that also catch my interest (Dispossessed and some sort of death). Would it be possible to have an elite army with any of those? low model count is also appealing to begin with.
Easton Mitchell
>low model count SCE
Samuel Peterson
>February WD >a fucking Custodes cover >March WD is going to be DoK
Fuck being a Death fan.
Jack Morgan
Yes, consider thunderquake starhost. Painting seraphon is drybrush heaven
Angel Long
Godammit I literally cannot wait. I'm going to buying two of the cauldron/witch boxes and sit in them I guess.
Jaxson Rivera
Currently painting those. Painting bare butts puts me in such a good mood, I can't even. Even if they're rather boney butts with not a lot of cushion.
Ian Ward
Lizardmen are not very hard or time-consuming to paint. You'll be painting 3 or 4 shades of whatever your main colour is for flesh and tons of gold. The rest is easy details. Their fluff is nice and the look great. I'd suggest you stick to them, great choice.
Jaxon Stewart
You deserved it
Jacob Thompson
>said the fat smelly Order tard after eating his Kharadron hamburger and wanting another fucking daugther of khaine burger
Cooper Baker
Does anyone know what keywords the LoN allegiances are going to use? I was hoping I vould use FEC with some of them, to get that sweet sweet vampire magic.
Chase Ward
>eating his Kharadron hamburger and wanting another fucking daugther of khaine burger Nah, not a fan of soy, so these armies definetly not for me
Carson Flores
Sit on* lol. I've tried painting dark eldar wyches skin and the results were very bad. I've got to figure something out.
Cameron Clark
Replace with: Cocks of Nagash Legions of Excrements (Arkhan) Legions of Thot (Neferata) Legions of Bald (Mannfred)
Hudson Gray
You all need to acknowledge the fact that sports bras are sexier than separate cups.
You know that it's true but you're pretending to find separate cups sexier purely in order to fuel the "GW is afraid of tits" narrative that supposedly legitimizes your petulant, impatient demands for a Slaanesh update.
Adrian Anderson
Thanks for typing in the same manner. I know to stop reading your posts after the first sentence.
William White
>You all need to acknowledge the fact that sports bras are sexier than separate cups. No whe the whole body is ugly (like Dark Eldars transgenders) and covered. Not to mention the fact that faces are horrible, even by GW standarts
Jason Jones
then complain about the faces and not about the bras
separate cups don't look good with ugly faces either, you know
of course you do know that
Nicholas Fisher
Thanks, I started 40K tyranids april last year but I can't bear to not paint even standard troops in detail so hordes bog me down quite literally (although I still love my bugs). I will look at the thunderquake starhost as starting point although the Scar veteran on carnosaur looks awesome.
Ryder Morris
>separate cups don't look good with ugly faces either, you know Of course, but separate cups at least shows boobs.
Ryan Gomez
So don't buy them or convert them? Its obvious plenty people do like the aesthetic. Im sure their going to redesign, make new sculpts and molds cause some grognards dont like the models tits. Fuck off.
John Gonzalez
which is irrelevant, because
sports bra >>>>>>>> bare tits
Camden Adams
>Its obvious plenty people do like the aesthetic. Yeah speaking of them...
Carter Barnes
>cause some grognards dont like the models tits not actually the case
everyone is keenly aware of the fact that sports bra are the sexiest option, BUT grognards pretend to prefer bare tits or separate cups because
Cameron Martinez

Jose Johnson
>to see her excitement how do nu-women express their excitement?
I don't see them take selfies while screaming in soy joy, so how can he tell if she's excited?

Adam Cook
Yeah, but does she fucking PLAY?
Ian Cruz

Jason Bell
>mommy make milky brapps with big yummy cunny tits and booby footsies okay, /v/
Wyatt Foster
She is excited that some fictional models now look uglier than her.
Oliver Moore
I, for one, would not be cause dead using any sort of armor without my tits in a fucking sports bra, because fighting is active and bouncing tits HURTS.
Christopher Ramirez

Do you guys know this feel for getting hyped for FUCKING NOTHING?
