>That crescent moon faced demon If only that were an actual model, I'd buy the fuck out of it.
Aaron Kelly
Only God knows.

Based.
Anyway, does anyone have examples of rocs/grots/snotling speaking in official AoS books/lore? I need to know how it's written out, and if there are any "rules" to it in writing.
Camden Collins
I'm trying to build up a good collection of models for a khorne warband in Path to Glory.
So far I've got: Valkia Bloodsecutor 60 chaos warriors with full command khorne lord on jugger 6 skullcrushers 3 soul grinders
There was a grot-centric story on the MP site. The kingdom below or something like that.
Aiden Ward
Thanks, I completely forgot about that.
Oliver White
no ragrets
Henry Wilson
So I just got my first AoS models and was wondering what I should pick up next for my army? What are my options and junk. I haven't done much reading of the new book desu
Has sigmar ever described what being a god is like, from a former Mortal perspective?
There was mention of Ulric being associated with an ancient Old One device. How possible is it that Ulric himself, or perhaps even the rest of the Empire's gods, were once mortal men (such as Ranald).
Did any of the other gods of the Empire besdies Ulric or Sigmar get any mention whatsoever in End Times?
Generally, more skeletons is always the answer. The box comes with 20, so get 2 more boxes and build them all as Spearmen, as a block of 40 skeletons is the norm in most lists.
After that I'd say a safe buy is a Necromancer.
After the Necromancer, its up to what Legion you'll want to play
All I know is that they're based on getting Mortarchs? So like Arkhan is magic focused, Manfred is like fuckery focused, and Neferata is vampire focused. And then I guess Grand Host is skeleton focused? That's what people keep posting.
I have some old empire wizards I can convert into a Necromancer, and 20 more skeletons is easy enough.
What should I grab for each legion then? Guess that'll determine which one I like more
Thomas Watson
well for legion of sacrament, people like to run the lord of sacraments battalion.
For legion of night, a vampire lord on zombie dragon, some vargheists, direwolves and terrorgheists will do you well, and skeletons are extra tough in this legion
For legion of blood you'll want blood knights *converted dragon blades*, vampire lord on zombie dragons, and direwolves.
Grand Host is about Skeleton swarms or running Nagash himself and having your Morghasts be battleline.
In any case, skeletons, necromancers & direwolves will fit into most lists, with Grave Guard only being truly good in Grand Host. But in Grand Host you can at least run your Mortarch as anything you like so there's that, plus Morghasts get extra attacks
Cameron Butler
>bought the Battleforce >hasn't done a single bit of research
I'm genuinely worried for your future user. Read Legions of Nagash for your own sake and figure out what the hell you want to do with Death.
Michael Murphy
Hmm. Neferata is easily the coolest mortarch. Is the only thing that Blood does well is vampires? Do they have any other cool things? Else that's kinda boring. Grand Host sounds cool because it looks like the most generic of the legions, and I really like the grave guard and morghast models.
Is there any reason to take any of the Nighthaunt units in any of the Legions? Do any of them have any bonuses for em?
Tyler Perry
Gonna pick up 2 Beastclaw start collecting boxes and 3 ironblasters, how does that sound for a starter army?
John Powell
Sounds like failure
David Perry
Nah, Legion of Blood is focused on Vampire Stuff. They're very very deadly on the charge and can rack up quite a few kills, but because Blood Knights lost their regen and you have a low model count army, holding objectives can be difficult if you don't kill a lot of stuff quickly. Its still great fun to play though.
For starting off with Death, I'd just stick with Grand Host until you feel like you want to branch out to a specific legion.
Nighthaunts are still pretty strong, just don't use them in a Nighthaunt Allegiance because you won't get the regen and grave-sites.
Both Spirit Hosts and Hexwraiths are strong, even more so since they have the ethereal keyword *can be a double-sided sword sometimes* but you also have your new shiny hero in the Knight of Shrouds. So, no reason to not include a little bit of ghosts in your lists, they're not bad.
Lucas Gonzalez
>(And dudettes) Just fuck off you juvenile fool
Samuel Turner
Whats a good build for beastclaw?
Evan Lopez
Hm. Thanks a lot man. I'm reading through the book now. Legion of Blood and Night both appeal to me the most, I think. It looks like you could kill off some scary bravery shenanigans with Legion of Blood, and pull some nonsense charges out of your butt with Legion of Night. Neferata is still bae though. Ambushing Nighthaunt dudes could be really nasty too. Especially if I take the Knight of Shrouds to buff them. That's a bit hmmmm.
But yeah I'll stick with Grand Host for now I guess, and get the 20 additional skeletons. Maybe I'll buy some blood knights (dragon princes) and wolves and play around with a Blood list at 1000pts and see if I like it or not.
What is thematically Legion of Night though?
Connor White
What are the actual arguments for and against the Sylvaneth Noble Spirits being made from the souls of the old Wood Elves? Just picked up the Battletome myself and it seems pretty clear so not sure why it’s so contentious on here
Liam Gonzalez
an extra unit of Archai because those freight trains are awesome
Shitposting for (you)'s and idiocy feigned or otherwise
Samuel Morgan
I doubt it.
Tyler King
Hexwraiths with their new special rule are bawler
Mason Nguyen
Fair enough. Sorry, I'm in a bad mood and got triggered. Being called a 'dudette' is so patronising to me, but whatever. My issue.
Samuel Morales
blood knights, legion of blood, named vampire lord is a not as durable but is HAMMER the army
Nicholas Clark
Is anyone else imagining a crossdresser?
Andrew Perry
harbingers are neat, especially with the spell that lets them do mortal wounds on the charge. LOVE THAT. honestly i'm using old shorthand, I meant Halberd morghasts
Ethan Kelly
so it's a difference between extra reach (with the charge move) against save vs mortal wounds
Dylan Turner
How do you rate undead generally in AOS? I'm on the fence about picking some up
Gavin Johnson

Lads is it worth creating a Shadespire general thread, or are those deader than the Blood Bowl generals? Should I just post Shadespire stuff here?
Dominic Collins
>inb4: >BL >knowing the lore
Aaron Bennett
Shadespire generals are deader than the Sepulchral Guard.
Hudson Parker
I can only advise that I have previously seen Shadespire threads on the board. I cannot attest to their popularity. I would however suggest making one so as to distance yourself from this thread
Jaxson Murphy
Figured that might be the case. Sad, because it's such a good game and it's going the way of the dodo.
Isaac Foster
all versions of them are definitely playable and you won't get shitrolled once you understand what's up. just have to learn how to deal with Stormcast Deepstrike, Sylvaneth teleport lists, and the rubadubdub 20dwarves in a tub list.
Daniel Reyes
pretty fun.
You have a hard time finding the hammer to your anvil without dropping a dick-load of points into one model, but that anvil is one hell of an anvil.
My one 40-skeleton block lasted the entire game against Tzeentch spell/ranged spam while also swapping blows with some Stormcast.
Put all your Gravesites in one spot, conga-line your Skeletons up the board and support with heroes and you'll have hopefully 6d3 skeletons regen every turn
Easton Carter
Make it's own general and have a few friends be excited with it. This place is a dark whole you shouldn't be posting in if you love sanity
Cooper Foster
>4 gravesites in the same place faggots like you are why we have hate crimes
Jacob Cox
you're right, I should purposely gimp my army so your fee-fee aren't hurt when your walnut of a brain can't figure out how to counter my army.
this is like bitching that Tzeentch is casting too many spells, or that Kharadron have too much shooting, or that Ironjawz can charge across the board. An endless Horde of Skeletons is what Death has always been about, don't cry when it does what its supposed to
Brandon Robinson
Is putting all your gravesites in one spot even legal?
Aaron Lee
Nothing. And I really mean this, because the sooner you start putting things together, the sooner you will realize the work you need to put in to this hobby to get a working force going. To many (far to many) new players start out by buying shit-ton of stuff only to realize they don't have the stomach for it. When they realize the amount of time and effort needed to place down a fully painted force, they usually quit or start a new army, using this as a never ending excuse to not playing painted.. Ever!.
So yea, trust me on this, start by actually clean, build and prime your current force. Paint up a few regiments and monsters/characters. Play a few games, have a few laughs and then, only then, you start to think on what to get next. If there is something I have learned throughout the years, its that this hobby will turn any grown ass man in to a child in a candy store, loosing all sense of reason when getting new stuff.
One of the ooold Chaos Familiars was like that, but I've never seen a full Daemon go that route.
Christopher Reyes
This reminds me of being 13 playing WoW and getting really mad at those pussy frost mages who would keep running from me, rather than standing like MEN and letting me beat on them lol
Jordan Collins
How would I go about getting a blood effect like this?
if playing BCR, your best bet is to just keep buying the Start Collecting box.
Run Mournfangs in 4s. Thundertusks are underrated. Always have a Frostlord on Stonehorn
Cooper Hughes
The single good piece of AoS art. We need more like it.
Jaxon Young
This. I have a million unpainted models. But now I'm a poorfag and I force myself to paint what I have instead of buying mre.
Easton James
>Look through older books >Find a nice Warscroll Batallion >No points Every time. How do I into Seraphon lads? I’ve tried out a few lists but haven’t really had much success.
Brayden Turner
Imagine all the squawking and feathers in Tzeentch's sanctum.
I bet when chaos choads go to have an audience with Tzeentch, they bring high energy suet cakes for him to peck.
Adam White
These are wise words. I've had to forbid myself from any more spending because I've got two boxes of start collecting flesh eaters, and then the deathwatch battleforce box, plus a kill team box fuuuck
Hudson Bell
My dwarfs stand with you, for whatever it's worth. Maybe as a distraction.
Oliver Taylor
Use that Battalion for Open/Narrative play and use something else for Matched play?
Anthony Cox
If I get a chance to get a game in before thursday, I got some more angry trees to make your forest bigger
>Did any of the other gods of the Empire besdies Ulric or Sigmar get any mention whatsoever in End Times?
Taal and Shallya were in Glottkin.
Spites I believe.
Parker Lewis
Just w8 a little. It's picking up more steam here and there. A lot of people needed more diversity in warbands and still have an aversion against GW boxed games and also the whole 'buy every box to get every card' thing. Also there isn't that much to talk about, if you don't like theorycrafting decks.
Gavin Green
>2 Named Characters Wish they were more consistent with this. Some get characterful sculpts for generic heroes, others get actual named characters

Camden Thomas
Yes, the Radiant Gallants stand with you.Time to carry the light into Nagashizzar.
Because I literalky have no idea of how to fill out the list to keep it fluffy.
Henry White
Post your perfect faction theme and other anons will judge and rate you. I will start.
Updated Wanderers with a bunch of magical/mythical creatures like giant Deer forest god thing, giant eagles (like they had before), owls etc. All the magical forest fauna stuff. Big centerpiece fantasy Deer kinda like pic related, just give him more magic runes and naturey-stuff like moss, bark etc. Also battletome.
Moonclan, building on what they established with the Cave Shaman. Regular Moonclan boyz, updated current resin squigs units, some kind of shroomed out "Elite" infantry unit, maybe an expanded fanatic unit with more weapons options (exploding fanatics, shroomhead fanatics that put pff spores that cause hallucinations in both the enemy and friendly nearby units, that sort of thing) Spore Squigs, plastic Collosal Squigs and Squig Gobbas.
