Question about missions that count warscroll points for victory conditions: does that count battalions? Like, if I kill all the units in a battalion, do I also get points for the battalion?

Nth for Rattus Cheesehead, the first, and best Ratcast Eternal

3 vangard palladors, 6 liberators, 3 vanquishers, and one lord. VS 20 men at arms, 10 knights of the realm, 1 BSB, one lord on horse, and 10 peasant archers. all on square bases

>Fantasy would have needed some serious retcons to continue functioning, otherwise I truly believe it would have reached the point where there would be no new model designs that could be created. New models are GW's bread and butter, either to be added to existing armies or perhaps convincing people to start a new army. Which is why I still believed a merge of the two settings a better idea: the End Times radically altered the world much like Cataclysm did to WoW. Lustrua is gone, the Old World itself is in ruins and its people decimated.
But at the cusp of defeat,and under the pressure of the gods stepping onto the world, the planet buckles and cracks, and pieces of the Old World float away. But by doing so it is revealed the Old World was but a single celestial body among hundreds free floating above the mortal realms. Just as this revaluation begins to sink in, the fallen heroes of Bretyonia, Tilea, Estalia, Araby, and the Empire return as Sigmar's avenging angels, the Stormcast, driving Chaise back to the realms held by the dark gods and giving the survivors repreive. With the world gone, the forces of Order relocate to the planes and that could start the new setting, keeping the Empire but expanding it with all the other humans of the Old World(and thus letting GW retain more of their old player base) while giving the Stormcast an intro to a world both human and transhuman can share, not to mention giving existing Stormcast better names. Like Imperius could have been Valten, or Gardus being Volkmar, lending a little more weight to that 'Only the Faithful' line. And then fast forward all the existing campaigns in AoS to get to here.
To clarify from last thread The Great Horned rat was snubbed by Archaon, so as a little 'fuk u' you he gave Dorghar the twin-tails that all Vermin-daemons have
An especially sick burn as the twin tail is metaphorical for Skaven's origins as the dark mirror of humanity's worst traits, evoking both Sigmar's twin comet and the skaven both at once
Can Ye Olden Empire Knights fit on any of the Cold Ones?

So do what they did for Duardin, Aelfs, Orruks, Ogors, Troggoths, and Gargants: give them a mixed up, totally not yet copyrighted name like Skinwollluvs or Wahrwolfs or something.

>so as a little 'fuk u' you he gave Dorghar the twin-tails that all Vermin-daemons have that's not how it works
I bet you don't even know why the vermin lords have two tails
Tyler Harris
yes

JOKES ON YOU, I AM LITERALLY PAINTING MY NYGHT-STALKER WAERE-WOYLVES WITH TWIN LUNA-BLESSED GANGREL CLEVERS AS WE SPEAK
Charles Lewis
Isn't it weird how they used Gargant and Grot from 40k but not Ork?
Adam Jenkins
in our dreams bro, we are bound to play nurgleshit with no saves forever
Brody Rivera
Not really it meant two free names they didn't have to ask the interns to make up.

>>Thread Question >GW puts you in charge of designing the next starter box. Who do you pick? freeguild for fleshing out the setting and sky grot pirates because destruction needs more love
You missed my point, they used two from 40k but not Ork, I'm confused as to why they didn't. Could have also used Ogryn.
Sebastian Flores
...and because the answer was not "More Stormcast" they fire you.
John Collins
>>Thread Question >GW puts you in charge of designing the next starter box. Who do you pick? Nighthaunt vs Grots Elite and resistant vs horde and fragile
Lucas Morales
can I interest you in another box of plague monks in this trying time?
Cameron Ward
maybe read the rest of the post? or explain it yourself rather than being a passive faggot
Ryder Carter
To play it safe they used names that no one, not even their own employees, would even say to make sure they didn't tried on an existing copyright of an obscure fantasy setting or medical device for hamsters or something.
Hudson Lewis
but the way freeguild get integrated into the setting is by bearing aesthetic choices parallel to the stormcast and rules to ally with them with ease
we then put a second version of the same box with an ironjaws and stormcast detachment add onn at a discount on the total pieces
Jace Foster
I bought Skaven Pestilens battletome and now i am stuck with a book i am not using so guess.
I would just make force consisting mostly of plagueclaws and some tarpit desu but fuck painting 10 000 rats. I want muh fucking elite force with not many models and cool inventive shit. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Jackson Adams
aye
Jordan Brooks
Grot is an actual word though.
Adam Butler
confirmed for not knowing
the verminlords while having always existed, rose to importance significantly with the end times, when the twin tailed comet passed again over the world, this is said by the designers themselves in the relative white dwarf telling how the comet is symbolic for important events, but itself bear no fixed meaning: the first time it heralded sotek ansmd sigmar, hope and light, the second time, doom and despair, the end times. in warhammer terms twin tails simply means important, I guess exponentially less so now since everyone and their mother has got them in some way with the age of sigmar, but still that was the reason given
Juan Cooper
Yes but does it have existing copyright? Remember these were the same people that tried to copyright "Space Marine" If the obvious won't work, go for the insane.
Alexander Reyes
Then why not use gretchin? Both are 40k words anyways.
Brandon Peterson
I had a showerthought just now. I'm nearly done with my Blood Queen box. I need another 20 Skeletion Warriors and another 10 Grave Guard for optimal loadout on them, so wouldn't just buying another Blood Queen box be the best choice for my dollar value - provided I get it at a bargain around $120?
20x Skeleton Warriors is roughly $80, and then 10x Grave Guard are another $42 or so. I can always just build the extra Mortarch, and having another two morghasts makes First Cohort available down the line whenever I get Nagash.
Is my logic solid here or would I still be better off buying individually or getting Skeleton Horde box? Getting 20 SK and 10 GG is just an awkward number.
y no trademark thousands of made up terms and sue a fucking malasyan lawnmower company 50 years down the road when they release the GrotGrot 40, 000 or a Peruvian brothel named Retchin Gretchin
Asher Long
or you could make the morghasts into corpse carts
David Diaz
We already have firebellies
Asher Green
I'd be interested in seeing how you could do that without a ton of greenstuff
>GW puts you in charge of designing the next starter box. Who do you pick? Slaaneshi Mortals vs Devoted of Sigmar
Both factions would be great fully fledged
Joseph Bailey
They are sigmarines so might as well go ultramarine blue
Brandon Cooper
Uh no by turning them into perpetually angry sumo fighters that kill with martial arts. If you find something sexual about it, that says more about you than me.
bruh i think, you know, you posted in the wrong place
Christian Rivera
I mean, the one in AoS hit a Chaos champion so hard it stripped all Chaos taint from his soul when it killed him.
Owen Ortiz
bruh, there's no battletome for that. i want muh nu-lore. my autism requires it.
Aaron Gonzalez
After thousands of years of worship empowered it as a symbol rather than an object. If that same worship was directed at a specific turnip I'm sure said turnip would have had the same effect.
Zachary Martin
Where else do you even play this game?
Jayden Ward
I don't honestly mind wound spill over, though I would like a split so that some weapons spill and some don't. So you can have anti-hero/anti monster weapons that are bad vs units.
Jaxon Robinson
None of the things you stated are actually bad though.
The spillover in particular is why I prefer AOS to 40k in the meantime.
Then convert some blight kings & rat ogres with rat tails, skaven icons and play Nurgle. Make your list mostly pestilens, get a verminlord corruptor, and the rest blightking rats
