Darkwater is alright from a points/money perspective iirc, but that's mostly because it's got a lot of expensive characters. In terms of actual units it only give you the pox wretches and cankerborn, which is kind of meh for a beginner. Now if you could find a way to get two more pestigors and two more big fat dudes to turn your templars into kings it becomes more interesting, but that's not really what I would call an easy entry point
>>97846069
Not great not terrible, though I will say starting an army you actually like is always going to be better than one that you don't

>>97846089
I think most count Blight Templars as Rotbringer heroes, not units, but yeah, if you pick up 4 Pestigors that's a unit of 10.
It's 650pts for Gelgus, Cankerborn, 10 Pestigors, and Pox Wretches plus 130 for Belga and 110 for Foulhoof so it's about 1k with a Lord of Plagues/Blights proxy using templars but with so many regiments that's a bother.
No matter what you'd need to buy about half an army in a traditional way and that's handicapped by exhausting your free regiments with so many heroes, none being options for any others

>>97846117
>if you pick up 4 Pestigors that's a unit of 10.
You get 8 in darkwater right?
But yeah it's a lot of points in heroes

>>97846248
Yeah, but it's 4 per sprue so eBay or your lgs community will have splits for a little cheaper

>>97846080

>TQ

Cities of sigmar doesn't have them, not sure if it's necessary for their roster. Rather have ogres or other monstrous infantry. Ossiarchs don't have them either, I think the kavaloi and chariots are sufficient. Do tzaangor enlightened.and skyfires count as monstrous cavalry?

>>97846332
Technically cos still has demigryphs right? I think ghyran beetle riders that were mentioned in a recent book would be cool but maybe more of a conversion project. For tzeentch yeah skyfires are the closest you're going to get, though though for OBR maybe the warcry centaur guy counts?

Speaking of sylvaneth and monsters, I would really like to see the sylvaneth take on a forest dragon. The old wood elf model always kind of looked like shit to me and not very forest. A sylvaneth version could have more insectoid themes or whatever, I think it'd be cool.

>>97846080
In a fashion, CoS has them for the remaining 2-3 months of life it has Order Serpentis remaining. Maybe a year if yhe CoS tome doesn't punt them out or puts them onto the legends track ala Beastmen/Evocators/Bonesplitters.

We know the original rumors, and current, had them leaving it in 2026. We just don't know the exact form.

Probably won’t happen, not just because wood elves are a thing, but because only stormcast (and maybe malerion) will be the only ones to have real access to them. That being said if gw doesn’t care, they can just make a literal Wood dragon, although it’ll probably pale in comparison to the scratch built stuff I’ve seen.

I mean, the bonesplitters, warcry bands, and beastmen are all still things that are canon and exist. They're just not units that you can play outside of legends in a few cases.

If anything you can make your own stories and do what you'd like; you know, like some sort of... tabletop rpg.

The Warcry bands especially are still in the setting

>>97847133
They've been too busy releasing a 40k version of Warewolf and a Dungeon Crawler Card Game based on Darktide to bother with their RPGs this year

in terms of "monstrous mounts" idoneth have plenty of options, although the eels are the only real cavalry options, the other two are character mounts. They're pretty cool; though not really what drew me to idoneth in the first place. Same story for the shaerk.
Now the Deepmare is pure kino, I love this thing. If I was better at converting I'd put them in some different poses so I could run like 5 of them.
If idoneth were ever to get a second wave, I'd like a five man seahorse unit, I think it'd be cute. I've also seen anons on here previously suggest ichtyocentaurs, which sounds like a fun concept.

For me the nine peaks bit makes both simultaneously doubt and believe them more, it’s perfectly fitting GW.

>>97846080
>tq

I don't mind Morbhegs, they're very strong and very solid units. (Even if they nerfed the retreat and charge thing to only be during your opponents end phase) Also I wouldn't mind a Morbheg hero to join in with them.

I think I wish they had a bit more support, FEC post book feels fine but I think the delusions are a bit eh for like 70% of them.

>>97847701
I think they're just going to merge the realms in the fluff and that's it. Maybe add one new faction while they're at it, definitely not 4 like the rumors say.

>>97846386

>>97847701
Literally this >>97847719 a big lore event that will make setting geography more defined, maybe what they say about Sigmar and Archaon great battle happening and one new faction all trying to hype new customers but that's it. Same factions, same game, same characters, etc.

>>97847499
You just go on twitter. Algo is merged i get spammed with gook posts about wanting to fuck Abraxia or whatever

>>97847737
polack peak times, they love shitting up the general

>>97847701
The general idea of the realms being merged seems pretty clear cut now. How much these new landmassws will physically resemble whfb's not!earth seems a bit up in the air, as well as how much this new thing will resemble 40k's grimderp levels. There's been a few conflicting rumours on that. If it's full on sacrificing 1000 sorcerers a day for sigmar than I'm not interested, if it's more of boole's age of sigmar: fromslop I think it has potential.
As for the new factions that's what I'm the most unsure about. Seems like all the info comes from the core rulebook so far, I'm not sure I trust them. Not!nippon could be fun but the others just sound boring to me, not very interested. Oh also the 1000 year timeskip is stupid and overcomplicates everything, just like how they had to twist and bend early aos to explain why all the miniatures look exactly the same as those from whfb now they're going to have to do the same shit to explain why the idea of a castellite formation is still around after 1000 years of amnesia for example, it's retarded.
At the end of the day I'm fairly neutral, no problem with a big shakeup like that on paper, but I'm not sure I trust gw to not fuck up the execution.

>>97847983
I honestly think the 1000 years into the future bit is a little restrained. If it’s 10,000 years, sure we’re kinda being dumb about it. But that’s like 10 generations give or take of change.

>>97848015
1000 years ago people in Britain wore weasel testicle amulets to prevent pregnancy.

A lot changes in ten generations.

>>97848104
Plenty changes in just 30 years for our reality, does not necessarily mean I'll be a fan of every change in a wargame setting.

>>97847701
Fatigued, and feeling like a fool for caring about AoS as a setting at all.

>>97847983
Between 1000 years of nothing happening and bending backwards to preserve as many characters as possible it's going to start out feeling pretty retarded, that's inevitable.

I also don't really believe GW when they imply that no one will remember the old mortal realms or reference them given how AoS went with the constant callbacks to WHFB and so many BL authors wanting to write about the Age of Myth that they had to basically ban it as a book setting.

>>97848015
I don't think we need to copy blizzard that much.

>>97848160
I don't know if the "no one remembers" part means that characters will get some sort of amnesia, or if it's simply that it's been 1000 years so no one but the extremely long lived exceptions (e.g. teclis, grungni, etc.) were even around to remember the realms. If it's option two sure whatever, but option one is retarded.
Also another thing, I just remembered the named helsmiths main guy was supposed to be just barely keeping ahead of petrification, I wonder how they're going to explain him being fine after an extra millennium lol.

>>97848214
With good portion of cast becoming generic models; he might be one of said generics.
Then again the chimera lady in CoS is still going to be a named character, so God knows.

>>97848241
>With good portion of cast becoming generic models;
We don't have confirmation of this one way or another, the rumormongers are just speculating based on core rulebook info and 90% of special characters don't get mentioned in the core rules.

Will the new setting have a moon and a sun however

>>97848270
>sun
Yeah, it's easier to explain than the realm of light and shadows acting as the day/night cycle
>Moon
Bad Moon still needs to exist

>>97848270
I'd imagine so, can't have concepts that are too confusing for random on-lookers.

>>97848241
I think boole walked back the genericification of characters recently, I mean tahlia is probably the most mortal model we have and she's making it as a character apparently.
Also goes to show how messy all of this stuff is, say what you will about boole but he's usually pretty consistent. With this last world stuff he's all over the place.
>>97848270
I'm wondering that as well. My bet is on the remants of azyr serving as the celestial bodies of the realms below

>>97848248
And I say this not to pick on you in particular but just as a reminder to everyone. The leaks regarding all this are because of early drafts of the core rulebook being circulated. That means basically all their information comes from high level lore overviews, maps, and a little bit of art. Try sitting down with the 4E corebook sometime and see how well that presented the entire state of 4E including future releases to give an idea what we're looking at.

As we get closer to release I'm sure we'll get more detailed leaks regarding the new starter set and rules, etc.

What will happen with our lord and saviour Sigmar?

You know, Nagash predicted all this.

the multipart kits of 1st ed were hugely modular and with plenty of ball sockets, but that comes at the cost of every and all poses looking weirdly floaty and weightless, as well as the armors being flared and fatter

Having no preconceived notions about what Warhammer fantasy "should" be, these are things that naturally appeal to Japanese sensibilities. If GW made svelte "stormcast scouts" with light armor and some sort of high school where young worthy souls learn to control their powers and get ranked based on their performance, AoS would be right up there with gunpla overnight, I feel confident of it.

The issue is greenstuff production ended with the closure of the US factory due to tariffs, but they've announced efforts to shift to a UK factory or something by the end of summer

>>97850259
Wouldn't plasticard be a bit overkill for this? Unlike the fusiliers the grenadiers' helm goes around the sides of the head, so I was thinking you could get away with just smushing greenstuff (or putty mix whatever) on the face and then using a toothpick to poke some holes / scratch a few lines to get that fencing mask look of the fusilier faceplates

They look really good but fuck me that looks like torture to paint

>>97851064
Seriously. I'm a slow painter, and I have trouble with spilling over and needing to fix it over and over, so even a few clanrats takes me a couple of days. I simply would not be able to paint those.

>>97851064
>>97851120
Really? They're detailed but not to an insane degree. I'm also a very slow painter but once I actually nail down what I want to do with them I could probably get them finished to a good standard in a couple of long sessions.

>was thinking about grabbing Darkwater to play with casual friends and flex my painting skills
>watch review of the game
>apparently only the Gelgus Pust encounter feels like it was play tested and the other two bosses/campaigns are just straight broken without homebrew
Damn maybe not then. My LGS has Cursed City still at a reasonable price, was that one any good?

>>97851527
That was is just as equally broken, there are homebrews for both online if you want a better playing version.

>>97850566
Deadlock is closer to For Honor than it is to Aeon of Strife.

>>97851543
I know homebrew fixes exist, but I feel like that’s a hard sell for totally new people. I genuinely might check out Blood Bowl at this point to see if that works better.

I completely forgot about lumineth new spearhead, it seems pretty good, maybe it’s a rough sell at 2 (idk if the mage is named or not) but it’s all around interesting at least. Honestly the only bad elf spearhead is probably daughter of khaines now.

>>97851563
Blood Bowl pretty decent, somehow GW hasn't even fucked 3rd edition up completely (the only negative for me was the earlier 2nd edition teams like skaven lost some fielding options as GW tried to limit your roster options to what's in the box.) It has something that other fantasy sports game lack too in its progression mode which can make the game both fun and stressful long-term.
Game is easy to pick up too, even for people who never played a tabletop game.

>>97851549
I've not played For Honor, does it have item purchasing, secret shops, lanes, towers, ancients, an optional midboss, three primary stats, jungles to farm, lane creeps? I'll assume it has melee/parrying, heroes with ~4 basekit skills, and wacky spastic movement.

>>97851600
It’s like a Siren’s Call every time I see it in my LGS, if it’s legit good I might just give in….

What happened to people posting their models in this thread?

>>97851768
I’ve been painting my tree lord really slowly, not sure if people want to see me post a wip every time I pop in here. I’ll post it in the morning at least.

The idea of a 1000 year timeskip where all the models stay the same and technology doesn’t advance at all is really funny when one of the criticisms people have about nuCoS is how they superficially look like a regression from the tech level the empire models had

>>97851809
Tbf they had a reform that makes it so they can adapt to battles easier realm wide which caused the new regressed tech and uniforms. But yeah the tech is all over the place, I mean shit, they had revolvers in 2e. Although now they have fuckin flamethrowers, which isn’t exactly a completely advanced concept, I think the Byzantine empire had the idea down, and the Greeks did have their fire, though that’s an entirely different method iirc.

>>97851839
The new stuff is mostly on par or more advanced than what they had, like the cannons are breach loaded, they just look more archaic because of the aesthetic GW went for. More specialized units like the fusil-major and callis, or these new guys, have more “advanced” looking guns, while the fusils are supposed to be easily operatable hand cannon weapons that can blow holes in orruks or chaos warriors.

The idea they’re still using those reforms and same exact weapons after 1000 years and teleporting to a new setting without iterating on them is silly, but I guess so is the idea of dawnbringer crusades in general when they amounted to nothing in the end and the rest is purely just using cities that existed before them. Literally less lasting impact than Kragnos

>>97851607
no, no, yes, yes, no, yes, more than 3, no, yes, yes/yes, yes, yes.
>>97851839
Byzantium used greek fire, and they kept the formula so secret it's considered lost to this day (Conspiratorially I believe it's just hidden to prevent bored chemists from making it, like they do with napalm). BC Romans had a flamethrower as a siege machine at least one time, though it appeared to just be using bellows to push flames down a tube. Romans also used petrol grenades in the 3rd and 4th century.

Yes it's true, you can check the battle profiles. It's kind of confusing, tzaangor enlightened where the foot version, but they got their name changed to tzaangor enlightened on foot. While tzaangor enlightened on disks of tzeentch was the flying version, but they got renamed to just tzaangor enlightened.
As for why? No idea. I can't say I've ever seen anyone run them on foot before though.

The le silly webcomics from 6 years ago were one of the few pieces of aos media that were actually good though, but GW decided to be faggots and cancel that guy.
>need media
AoS is already laughed about in many circles as the "black chicks in gold armour played by communist reddit trannies" game and the reality is GW isn't going to 'fix' that because they believe it's correct and working and a good thing.

The big problem for AoS vs. Necromunda, Horus Heresy, TOW, 40k is that there are no 'good old times' to fall back on and this is likely what attracted the sigmarxists in the first place you can't hearken back to the 0th edition in 2015 when players used their Sigmar, the God-King herohammer model leading an army of human rabble and fanatics worshiping him to defeat and drive back the ancient beast-aspects and god-beings of destruction like Behemat. You only have that 1st edition of black chicks in stormcast armour and that will always harm its image of coolness in the minds of teens and 30yo teens.

Imo they aren't UNLESS GW makes some kind of consolidation of their IPs - and brings back fantasy and 40k world together. In other words - retcon female SCE, turn SCE into Space Marines that were lost in space and time and have no access to technology and have to rely on magic and local beasts. They can have their base on Mannslieb moon - so they can teleport anywhere on the planet.
This explanation would solve ALL SCE lore problems and would be 1000% more believeable than ANY fanfic lore GW staff can come up with.

Not stormfast though and that's the problem since GW wanted primarislop but for their 'fantastic' series of game.

Ironically, Stormcast are popular in countries where they don't have the weird shit attached to them, because people in countries with incomprehensible languages to english speakers don't get the lesbian in gold armour art, that's only pushed on english speaking audiences which weakens the perceived coolness of the product.

The Last World is real but the leaks is not entirely true:

Archaon vs Sigmar will happen during next ed.
The conflict is uncertain.
The book gives scenarios or possible futures depending of the fight.
Archaon dies in fight and Sigmar ends like the Emperor from 40k was what the leaker saw.
There is a scenario where Archaon wins.
There are scenarios where other grand orders enter the fight and wins big time.

They are doing the narrative as a prophecy. The Last World (converging) is happening before and between their fight.
There is talking about it being an open storyline to be resolved by tournament results or something like that.

The box is Stormcasters vs Slave to Darkness (without Archaon or Sigmar)

It's a bitch. Just go with a light grey instead

its meant to be like a classic 40k style command squad

unfortunately the army uses it like a standard unit, which is not at all how its designed. its not meant to be a stand alone combat unit, its supposed to be a series of command specialist functions for your general, with spies and advisors, but the designers are peepeepoopoo retarded and so the army has it using them as just an elite squad of troops.

4e's design team really fucking sucks

Still find the squatting of the 2019 tyrant odd. Is this like a wight king on steed situstion?
Oh, I think gnoblars were also getting axed. Though maybe spiritually replaced by something else.
There's also pestilens for skaven which has been hinted at, plus more spiky chaos warriors and grimdark stormcast for 5th edition, though to be fair boole has flip flopped on those rumours a few times.
