Idk, maybe the actual elite shit of the army. It’d be neat if they got a command squad or something. It’d also be funny if they got more “vassals”.
Unrelated but the bulltaurs seem to be neat for making Minotaurs, just need appropriate legs really.
(Pic rel is not mine)

id start by giving them their warcry band back.

>>97874094
>TQ

bring back k'daai fire demons. Those were great designs and a lot could be done with them. Wolf riders could also be cool, along with bull centaur heroes.

>>97874094
I am still amazed at how they could produce an inferior aesthetic to Forgeworld's. All they had to do was take it and add some things like unhelmeted soldiers. The bull centaurs are just so much better than the plastic ones.

This sort of came up when we were discussing the cos volley guns a couple threads back, but old chaos dwarfs used to have a bunch of different war machines like little mortars and swivel guns, as well as the classic bazooka. I think something like the kharadron thunderers would be cool for chorfs, were it's just a group of 5 or 6 guys with very different heavy guns / light artillery.
If not, at least make bazookas a full unit.

Tbf wood elves have always had a polarizing ruleset that was always npe for one side or the other so an Aos take on it could be neat.


Not to say sylvaneth have been historically better but at least they’re playing the same game as most other factions were since their inception, which is better than wood elves.

Fireglaives. Hobgrot boss. A war machine that doesn't look like a complete joke. And bring back the Horns of Hashut; where the fuck are they?
>>97874146
Fucking hated these buttheads. They looked more like a beastmen unit than something for chorfs. Thank god the plastic ones have actual clothes like the metal ones did.

>>97875367
The horns of hashut not being there is so weird. They'd bring some extra choice to the army, and their fluff fits perfectly with the role of chaff in the army with how their desolation points or whatever they're called work. Their aesthetic is slightly different, but the same can be said of literally any other chaos warband. Such an odd decision.

I’ve been slowly moving away from GW paints save for unique colors and contrasts/Lahmian medium. Gw needs a reformulation because their paints are starting to show flaws. Like why the fuck am I opening a fresh pot of Tau Light Ochre or Corax White and finding it in gummy chunks? That’s also not counting unannounced reformulations or just general disparities between batches. For example I saw this posted the other day. I had it happen to my Skeleton Horde contrast that I was using from the initial launch. The new formulation visibly separates in the pot within hours of standing still which requires a good shake to reconstitute, whereas my launch pot almost never separated. Also the shade was lighter so I had to add a couple drops of a brown to make it similar.

>>97875954
That's back when they were actually being sold and nobody bought them. Now there's New stuff (=bad), so these guys became Old (=good).

>>97876211
They're a solid 3rd out of all bull centaur renditions, with the original metal sculpts as #1, BloodBowl as #2, then the FW sculpts, and the ones at #4.
the funny thing is, the new bull centaurs are the best sculpts of the HoH range by a wide margin and are pretty good themselves, but the nuance of them being not as good as other sculpts is apparently lost to people

>>97876223
Surprised to see the bloodbowl version over the nuchorf one, it's basically the same thing except slightly more cartoony because of bloodbowl's style. The original bull centaurs are fine but honestly seeing fabelzel's stuff the gw ones kinda lost their shine. But maybe that's a bit unfair, fabelzel's style is hard to match. Not even much of an oldhammer guy but his shit is making me seriously consider starting a little chorf project to dip into tow.
Anyway, I feel like old and new bull centaurs are so different in execution it basically comes down to personal preference, but both of them are a much better portrayal of bull centaurs' lore than the naked forgeworld retards.

>>97876276
It's mostly the felt loss of Assyrian influence and how they're not as open to fun color schemes.

Fabezels chorfs dab on HoH and the forgeworld chorfs imo. They are gorgeous sculpts. They showcase genuine artistic flair that has been sorely missing from GW sculpts for the past decade plus (generally speaking)

>>97876330
Mhm, interesting, what would you say they lack? I can see it in the armour, the old stuff definitely feels a bit more "antiquity" than the new armour plates, and the headwear, while not particularly assyrian, does also give it a bit of ancient flair.
I've seen this argument applied to the foot guys in the past and I've always disagreed, I feel like if anything they're slightly more pseudo-assyrian than previous incarnations (especially the forgeworld Infantry which doesn't even try). Biggest example is the more thin stylized beards of the new guys which is as mesopotamian as it gets. though I actually don't like this change, the bigger bushier full beards of the old guys look better imo
But on the bull centaurs I can see the argument more.

>>97876367
They are this bizarre middle ground between the FW and OG sculpts so they don't really come off strongly in either flavor. For the faults of the Azghor's lads, they went for a new aesthetic and stuck to it, they had an identity. The new ones are more befuddled.
Do like the shirtless guy banging the gong, that's inspired.

Oh yeah fabelzel's stuff is great. Like I said not even much of an oldhammer aesthetic guy (nor into proonts for that matter) but his take on chorfs is amazing.
>>97876381
I personally don't see a whole lot of the forgeworld influence in nuchorfs. That aesthetic was very grimy and dirty, I think helsmiths are very much based on the old 4th (?) edition stuff, but given its own spin.
Personally I go back and forth, even within the same miniatures there's a lot of stuff I both like and dislike. For the basic cohorts for example, I love the hexagonal scale armour, the general shape of the guys, even the sash is very characterful. But then the weapons are AWFUL, same with the helmets, and like I said while the beards are probably closer to the real world I personally prefer them wider, like the gong guy has.

>>97876316
yes it is. its an officially licensed spinoff. its as canon as anything, and what the fuck do you mean isnt related to aos at all, it is THE aos roleplaying game

This is the guy I don’t like, he looks too much like a WoW design for my tastes. But my question to lore guys here is, is the frog familiar something you guys recognize? Is this some kind of race in the lore or just an enchanted frog helper thing?

>>97875135

>>97876840
>Is that familiar supposed to be a gnome?
yes, although it doesn't quite fit the shadowy rogues archetype that the 4th ed of the rpg wanted to have for the whole race
but then again, neither does the blood bowl team, or their older fluff, good chances of the ulgu gnomes being just one group of them

>>97876859
>>97876870
Wrong thread.

>>97876859
probably just an awakened frog or frog shaped spirit of some sort

no way a wizard would walk around with a slann as familiar

>>97876761
The actual stonework seems rather thin, I think it's mostly wood.
>>97876880
You could use fabelzel's stuff pretty easily for helsmiths

>>97876876
Yeah if the lore says the human settlements that border the moors see them regularly in various roles then they probably aren’t all shadow adept. Entertainers maybe for small illusions but the merchant gnomes are probably just trying to make an honest living.

>>97876887
Yeah, although the thought of a Pygmy slann being roped into serving as a familiar is quite funny.

How would you guys rank the current factions from most to least in need of a refresh/second wave?
At the top I think definitely idoneth, fyreslayers and daughters of khaine. Idoneth are weird because they objectively do have more units than say, flesh eaters, but they definitely feel like they need it more. Maybe because they've been using the same roster of non-hero units for the better part of a decade now, while flesh eaters are relatively new?
Anyway, speaking of fec, they're probably in the next category of "yeah does need some attention too" together with guys like nighthaunt (decent range but very one-note) and say kruleboyz. You know armies that definitely have more going on but also don't really feel complete either?
Then you've got the guys who are just lacking a unit or two, maybe some heroes to tie everything together, y'know CoS is doing pretty well now with all the new stuff, some warhulks or different cavalry would be cool but it's not a pressing matter. Lumineth with tyrion's lads or one or two ydrilan/zenith units is probably also in this category. Seraphon too, if we're just focusing on refreshes (skinks, saurus guard, couple characters)
Finally we have the armies that are pretty much good, anything new is just a bonus. Stormcast obviously, soulblight, slaves to darkness, probably gloomspite.

male dwarfs are wide, female dwarfs should be wide too. When an artist chooses to make them thin at beast they have very boring ideas of sexy. At worst when they think "sexy very short woman" their mind goes to a child.

That's, like, your opinion man. Dwarves over there don't have the same inertia or history as here in the occident.
Pic related is a dwarven man. I'm not sure if his roommate, Raven, is herself a dwarf or if that's from her monstrous heritage.

If I had to guess it’s because of that. They removed all the nuance that gave slayers a chance in previous editions. They have all the issues of dwarves without even the castle build to lean on.

>>97877662
But have you considered: Magmadroth spam?

Honestly I just think people buy Slayers and want to play Slayers but get pigeonholed into sucking ass or spamming the expensive ass monsters.

But that's also an AoS problem in general this edition.

>>97877683
I hate monster spam. This is an army game, no? Also the logistics of moving those bitches from place to place to actually game.
Its why I never field Morathi.

>>97877701
I'm not a fan of it either and really dislike how AOS is on a competitive level right now. Skew lists that consist of 3 Warscrolls on average - a huge-fuck centerpiece god/hero/monster, generic monsters, and usually something OP that won't get meaningful increased points (look at those Command Corps).

I will never understand why people get so mad that Hellsmiths aren't exact copies of Chaos Dwarfs from Fantasy. Like this is AoS Sylvaeth don't look like Wood elves, lumineth don't look like high elves, khadrodon don't look like Dwarfs.

I also feel like people only care about chorfs cause of Tww3

>>97877701
This is a wargame, with a faction that is literally all monsters. Plus big things are badass.

>>97877610
Because they got nerfed.

Thats only tourney results

>>97877763
>big monsters
They’ve been at their worst in 4th edition in terms of playability in 4th so far so I already know you’re a no games
>spam lists
Literally the past 3 tournaments so far have had all the lists repeat maybe one or two reinforced units once or twice at most. But there is an issue of points being much bigger which does mean that you’re just generally not gonna see as much plastic on the table in general, which frankly is a good thing considering how crazy 40k 10th edition was with every list consisting of hordes that rivaled apocalypse.

>>97877772
Well, it's because the new ones look bad. Extremely videogamecoded, but a bad, creatively-bankrupt slop game like WoW, not the Soulslike videogamecoding that AoS can actually sometimes pull off.

It's been one of my biggest gripes and reasoning for the setting to not have caught on better. So much of the art is as vague as the single paragraphs of lore that it's hard to find pieces that aren't a mess of intelligible digital brushtrokes.

>>97877610
this chart pretty much reads as a direct correlation chart with army range size.

its almost like the more models a range has, the more people can find something to like about it. 1 or 2 exceptions but for the most part it holds true, most of the largest army ranges are at the top half, and most of the smallest army ranges are at the bottom half

>>97877624
>mirrored poses

that is only a single model in the entire range, fuck off with this dogshit complaint. maybe a 2nd if you are being generous and including the runesmiter but even he has asymetrical weapons, as you can also give the unit leader

otherwise none of the poses are mirrored

>>97877960
Sure thing my guy, only one.

>>97877894
>They look like WoW

Its been half a year of listening to people compare them to something they don't look anything alike. Somehow a faction wearing flat geometric shapes to rebel against anything organic filters people instantly. Btw does anyone have the deep dive into their design that one any did a few months back? I enjoyed his insight into how even the gems on them invoked Hashut.

>>97877967

>>97877683
I mean if you listen to fyreslayer players, they want to play blocks of fyreslayers (this is any edition of AoS) and that's what the army was good at playing for last three editions. The Magmadroth is a cool model, but just spamming monsters is kinda lame.

>>97877610

one of the worst things GW has done in recent years with their stuff is cheap out on background art for their books and stuff. Tons of awful meaningless featurless backgrounds to otherwise nice character art or the newest offender, literally just the blender model on a black background for the horus heresy books. They save pennies on art expenses that make the products so much less appealing

I revived AoS by teaching people for 6 months and just finished off a PtG campaign.

Baleful Lords just took 3rd at an event and a recent CoS army took 1st place and their list was 3 Command Corps, Cav and Cannon spam. Meta lists are degenerate garbage that boils down to spamming the only good unit (or 2-3) your entire range has.

I'm sure they wouldn't even have to pay much more to get much better art, either. Thomas Elliot was nailing out banger after banger, left the studio, and now he freelances for them, still making bangers and probably more money. Though I believe his departure was because of office politics based on his commentary on the GHB/4e SCE tome cover.

However they got racism'd out of CoS by diverse woman. Remember when assassins were agents of Sigmar? I remember.

>final opinion
the warscrolls are fine, I really dont' care for DPP as a mechanic and am slightly annoyed that this faction specific resource thing continues to be a trend in every new book since then. Aesthetically I don't think they're better than the old chaos dwarves, but there's enough potential with warmachines like the bull standing bull thing that they could do more that's cool
>how to expand the range
infernal guard for a morre elite 5 man shooting unit with better melee profile. Lamassu for another flying unit, the iron demon and hell cannon for cool warmachines. Eventually also a hobgoblin hero to give the dogshit chaff goblins a reason to be taken and the K'dai destroyer so they can have a more interesting centerpiece unit than dwarf on bull.

>>97878264

>>97878233
not super experienced with KO, but just at a glance you're spending 450ish pts on 5 wound support heroes, and 900pts on boats. leaves you with only 650 for the rest of your army.

thats probably a big part of the problem right there if i had to guess

>>97878249
>making these people up

Unfortunately for the both of us, anon I have met three such guys irl. Two of them work at the FLGS and the third guy was my friend’s roommate who only played tww and is a wiki lorelet. All of em still seething about the end times. Many such cases.

>>97878233
You definite want the Flak Gun artifact against BoK. Giving a hero a 5++ and +1A sounds fun, but if your hero is in a melee, he's probably fucked regardless. 3+ save is nice and all, but it's a melee game and you're not a melee army. Even a single Rend makes you 50/50 for flubbing, and the Ward isn't going to help much if they swing enough at once.

>>97878373
I can definetly afford to drop one hero, but I need a few heros to lead regiments and boats so the footsoldiers aren't stuck advancing 4 inches at a time. I did consider opting for multiple codewrights to save some points on heroes but I'm not sure what else to replace them with.

The rumor also says archaon is still around and active, leading his armies from the north pole, but runs away whenever chunks of the new mcguffin god metal, supposedly pieces of sigmar, starts raining down from the sky. Sigmarites beleive that’s Sigmar sending it down to help them, from wherever he is.

All this rumor stuff sounds dumb as shit, which unfortunately doesn’t say anything about it’s credibility

>>97878473
We have a fairly active aos community here, but they’re very localized to one store, and they’ve been hemorrhaging members steadily since 4E dropped which sucks to see because the game is fun, even if it lacks a lot of that good 3E flavor. Huge bummer considering I’ve just started painting a MoN army with the release of the new wave of support

>>97878552
Shame, but not surprising given the state of 4th edition. Which MoN models you working on, at the moment, anyway?

Myself I am building the old CoS Spearhead right now, got some elf heads that I used with a few of the steelhelms and going to be work on the pontifex models soon too (with a head replacement.)

I would have preferred if they hadn't even bothered and just made it 40k only. I'm almost certain you'll still be fighting the same orc enemies too, if they had bothered with skaven or something they would have put that in the trailer.

you should be thankful they bothered to bring back any kind of support for your old game, it's clear they only brought it back because some of the people who still worked there cared and not because it was actually going to make money. At my LGS they actually dumped all their old world stock and it's just more 40k and AoS now kek

Yep. Any other named non female Stormcaster would be cooler. Even Underworlds ones:
Severin Steelheart : big sword swings
Sanson Farstrider : multi attack span bs
Averon Stormsire : wizard bs
etc
(I think even the female leaders would be better than blacktalon)

they'll probably add more characters, considering how many the original vampire survivors got

>>97878641
They're selling the aos version of the game alongside the 40k because nobody would buy it otherwise

>>97877947
What would you say the main exceptions are? BoK? The range isn't amazing. Or reversely HoS? I would guess it's the rules screwing HoS.

>>97878528
The natural balance of power is upset by magical rocks falling from the sky. That's actually not a terrible premise for a wargame setting, it's just classic WH in reverse. It could reinforce the impression of AoS being the weird high fantasy mirror to whfb.
In any case, I don't really care that strongly about the lore I hardly read anyways, so long as they continue releasing good looking minis. I would say their hit rate, for my taste, is better for AoS than their other ranges.

>>97879660
hedonites yeah, which i chock up mostly to leather bondage S&M titty monsters being a bit of a niche aesthetic. you can see daughters of khaine on the bottom too right next to slaanesh.

i think people just get weirded out about painting a whole army of naked ladies. thats my guess anyways

but fyreslayers, kruleboyz and SoB are all micro ranges, nighthaunt is a larger range but every unit looks the same, no variety so it may as well be a micro range. deepkin, KO, and helsmiths are a sort of medium small range, not quite a microfaction size but not a full range for sure.

ogres and cities i think are something else, those are both large ranges, but also both have a large amount of looming uncertainty with rumored upcoming squattings and refreshes, so if i had to guess people are just getting squirrely about those armies because their futures feel uncertain. fyreslayers gets hit with this effect too as well as being a micro range, a 1-2 punch, and i think their score being 30% lower than the next closest one at the bottom reflects that double dose of low model selection and uncertain future.

but then you look at the top half and those are all pretty much the big tent macro ranges with tons of options, unit types and sub faction elements like skaven clans, stormcast chambers, gloomspite creature types, undeadd bones or vampires, and so on, where there are a lot of different model types and a lot of different collection angles and ways to build and play, and that variety i suspect is a large part of what drives their popularity, not actually winrate.

Just make a witch elf dating sim already where you hold hands with her then play as her hacking and slashing in the arena.
This writes itself.

>>97877618
Kino
>>97877947
Yeah I feel like this is one of the most overlooked factors (despite it being so obvious) for army popularity. The most popular armies tend to be simply the bigger ones
>>97879660
Yeah slaanesh has a pretty big range but is kind of cursed by being the weird sex army + high paint difficulty. Nighthaunt are also lower than they should be, but that's probably because their playstyle atm is kinda shit and it's a competitive list at the end of the day. At the other end of the spectrum FEC has a limited range but is quite high, though of course they're really good atm (plus carried by a baller concept before they even had modern minis)

>>97877947
Nah, it's all about strength since for all of diversity people only spam the same units anyways.

>>97878641
Is the game out already?

>>97879746
Why won't you do it yourself? It's not that hard.

>>97879734
>>97879787
Good analysis. Recency is also a factor I think. FEC has some good recent sculpts, even though the total range isn't big. Several of the bottom ones have not got good releases recently.
And yes, sex motifs probably filters a lot of potential buyers. I know I wouldn't have been allowed by my mother to paint those models when I was little, and as an angsty youth I would have been uncomfortable buying them.

>>97878641
>GW wanted to actively sabatoge any chance of AoS players getting it.
I mean realistically the devs of this game approached gw to make a 40k game based on their formula and gw told them sure, but you gotta pay x amount for the license, orrrr you can pay, let's say, 50% of x if you also slap aos on there.
But y'know marketing wise every second of the trailer they spend showing off aos is a second not spent advertising 40k, which has 10x times the brand recognition aos has, if we're being real.
I'm sure gw doesn't mind, their idea is probably that 40k tertiaries pick it up, play the game, get curious about these weird other golden guys, and start looking into aos from there.

>>97879787
>>97879897
Variety in the range matters as much if not more than total range size.

a range with a pair of centerpieces, a pair of monstrous troops and a pair of troops is going to be more popular than a range with e times as many kits, but all looking the same and covering the same bases

nighthaunt is a relatively large range but is an abysmally uniform one, compare then for example with moonclan, without spiderfangs or gitmob and people would still think that moonclan have more stuff than them, but they don't, they just have more interestingly varied stuff

>>97879942
Depends on how you count I think. Just kits alone I think nighthaunt have like 20 or 21 compared to (non spider/gitmob) gsg at 18 or so. But gloomspite have a lot of dual build kits (stabbas/shootas dankhold/throggboss hoppers/bounders mangler/manglerboss fanatics/sporefanatics), while nighthaunt surprisingly has none, except that one box of 3 soul wars heroes. Which is really weird considering how similar looking their bodies are, I mean I was sure the scythe and sword elite ghosts shared a kit but apparently not?
But yes nighthaunt silhouette diversity is kind of awful, only really the named heroes try to do some different stuff.

Me and my brother want to get into the game. Is the new spearhead with the skaven and humans a good entry point, bros ?

>>97880056
We have no idea what the rules of those units will be yet (well, except the deathmaster I guess) nor the price point of the box itself. It's hard to give you any worthwhile advice as of yet.
Do you guys like skaven and CoS? I would recommend against picking up an army that you're not all that interested in just because it's a good deal. You're going to be spending a lot of time building and painting those models after all.

>>97878373
You admit you don't know what you are talking about so why even speak

>>97880056
If you like the armies, sure. Why not.
I would say if your bro likes Skaven just for the ninja rats and not all the Skaven there is zero chance he can make a usable army out them, but whatever.
No idea when that stuff will drop, whoever likes the Skaven can probably find a ton of Skaven models for cheap online, the CoS player can pick you another CoS spearhead in the meantime.

>>97875796
>>97875812
very yummy

>>97880056
The current spearhead starter set is like 220 dollars, so it'll probably be at a similar price point. Though on the other hand that one comes with a lot more plastic.

in the reveal trailer a few months back they did show more of the AoS side of things, which included skaven hordes
they probably just didn't show any of it in the announcement trailer because 40k is 40k

>>97878233
Oh hey anon cool looking list. But if I was to put my input in it doesnt look like it would do well into khorne. BoK is a very hammer army and all those Arkanut Company will not do well into them, the skywardens are good but they gotta be the ones swinging first to help ensure their survival. The gunstock might be hood as harassing his flanks and the ironclad should hold out against bloodletters. The frigate not bad either as it can do some good charge damage and help in melee, but I truly think the weak point is all those Companies you have. You could try some Vongrim salvagers instead those can be nasty. Also don't be discouraged KO is a hard army to play because your movement matters a lot and you have very tricky ways to play.

PS if you have their terrain piece khrone would hate it cause the lil drones can move block him so bad.

Is Velmorn the most important named Wight character in the setting so far? I don't know of any others that have more than a small lore blurb about them. Sad if true since the Deathrattle Kingdoms are practically a whole subfaction of Soulblight and have no important characters to speak of.

>>97880584
>BoK is a very hammer army
Shit man I feel like half the armies in the game are "very hammer" armies at the moment
>>97880636
Pretty much, not much beyond a blurb each. That one guy that decapitated some uppity vampire who tried to order him around was pretty cool.
I think they might double down on skellies for sbgl, a lich or named one isn't out of the question, as well as the inevitable foot king refresh.
Also I'd say while not a king halgrim from cursed city had a bit of fluff by virtue of being in a whq.

>>97879734
Cities range has dramatically reduced to a very small selection now that all we have is human freeguilds. Not microrange territory, but no longer large range as we have I want to say one more unit than Fyreslayers now once the witch and assassin are gone.

>>97879734
I feel like KB and IDK are actually quite similar in that they have next to no "baseline" units (infantry/cav), but a fuckton of single model units (+lots of foot heroes for idoneth). KB only has gutrippaz and boltboys (+the warcry warband) for basic units, while idoneth has their two flavours of namarti. Meanwhile each faction has like 7 single model centrepiece or semi centrepiece units (though in the case of KB one of those is just a normal artillery piece)

>>97880612
So when is this game meant to come out agein?

>>97880860
Sometime this year.

City of Ash soon
I can feel it

I think someone at GW said it was going to be Cathay separate boxes this Sunday, but that seems a rather small release, could see the underworld Warband or MESBG Rohan stuff also getting released

>>97880693
That sucks. While I don't want them to be further split up I personally find SBGL to be a bit anemic in the variety department as it is despite having what feels like it should be a rather healthy model range, I do hope they further flesh out the SBGL subfactions in the future. More Deathrattle centric stuff to make a pure skeleton army a bit more interesting. More zombies than just the basic zombie unit and corpse cart. For the love of god more Vampires than just a million Vyrkos characters GW please I beg you use the other bloodlines.
I really thought that after 10 years there would be at least one Wight King that can be an actual character.

>>97881130
>spoiler
They're alright, doing far better than most factions in the game but yeah a lot of that is random one off characters that kind of stand out. They could use a nice monster besides the dragon I think. And bring back the damn ogres!

Interesting that GW is hiring a concept artist specifically for TOW. This is the first time I’ve seen them hiring an artist for a specific game. I wonder if going forward they will hire people specifically to be artists for AoS too.

>>97881296
I'm sorry your game didn't get any new reveals again :( Please go back to your dead general though

I know it's all brand new plastic and everything, but this is more a start collecting than a spearhead.
Also obr battleforce is finally here for those interested.

>>97881349
kinda wierd that every release is a FOMO in some way even the BL book is only being released in the special limited edition format for some reason

Obviously he couldn't go into more detail as he still has a freelance relationship with them but it's easy to see a connection between his post and all those abysmal cover arts being done by the same person.

>>97881353
Like 1-2 years ago the fomo model was doing really well for them. They were selling out every box quite quickly for every system. In the last 6-8 months they’ve either massively ramped up the production of the fomo boxes, or people have stopped biting because I see tons of fomo boxes even rotting on shelves even for 40k, which 2 years ago would have been unthinkable. But GW is a behemoth that changes slowely. So all these fomo products we are getting now are probably from the mandate they instituted during that fomo frenzy.

Looking at some of the concepts some artists did for this hiring, some of them would fit AoS more imo.
pic being an example

>>97881364
Wow that’s genuinely awful. Where did you find this? And are there more?

>>97881289
>Have we ever gotten AoS BL special editions like that? The Realmslayer script doesn't count
Yes. Off the top of my head, the Yndrasta novel was first released as a limited edition.

Yeah box is definitely going to feel overpriced for being basically just 15-20 small infantry guys on each side.

found another one by a guy called Ruo Yu Chen, who did do some Khuresh art years back
seems GW was testing Greekskin and Empire concepts specifically for these new hires

>>97881363
Every tome release suddenly coming with a huge battleforce is kind of odd too
>>97881364
Oh shit where'd you find this? I love seeing unit concept art.

>>97881389
>Oh shit where'd you find this?
On the guys Artstation account

>>97881388
This is much better, man that empire stuff was awful. This was for 2025 according to the empire pics? Interested to see what kind of stuff gets produced for this round of hiring.

>>97881364
>>97881389
Nvm it's just from the one guy, I thought you stumbled upon a treasure trove of gw's selection process concept art for some reason

>>97881399
It's odd they're doing another wave of hiring for TOW after only 16 months, suggesting the turnover for staff at GW must be quite high

>>97881407
Might be that they are simply hiring more artists in accordance with the scope expanding. Or that their current guy is leaving.

>>97881413
or that TOW isnt doing so hot and they need new art for marketing purposes

>>97881337
Oh is that usually not a game specific thing? I'd imagine the profile of a fantasy and scifi concept artist would be a bit different, though I guess 40k is a lot more fantasy coded than most scifi stuff. Blanche did both iirc.
Anyway I saw a job application for aos lore guy or something posted somewhere else earlier, you'd have "encyclopedic knowledge of the mortal realms" which I found quite funny considering, y'know...
>>97881407
Could be that they're expanding I guess? Outside of cathay which was designed years before tow has only had a couple new releases, could be that they're doubling down on new releases. I'd imagine the nostalgia well has run dry for a lot of units, squeezed all the extra money out of nostalgic boomers they could but I don't think newcomers are lining up to buy the wood elf beastmaster for example.

>>97881415
It says specifically Concept artist in the job advertisement, and outside of placating angry Steel Legion fans, GW concept art is rarely shown off

>>97881420
>I saw a job application for aos lore guy or something posted somewhere else earlier, you'd have "encyclopedic knowledge of the mortal realms" which I found quite funny considering, y'know...
I think that was specifically for Soulbound, so not a GW job

What the fuck, is the knight of shrouds on foot sword different to the one they have when mounted?

>>97880091
cunt

>>97881829
Ever so slightly, yes.
...why?

>>97881846
I haver a converted character who used a knight of shrouds sword in two different models now, so when I was building a third I ordered another sword. But I bought one from the on foot version (which looks all rusted and beaten up) and I'm worried it wont look right next to the other versions.

>>97881859
I see. You could try and smooth out the little gaps in the foot sword with liquid greenstuff or something, but it'll be very fine work.

>>97881453
