Covermeinsunshine posted:Frankly Soul Wars and Dominion are bad starter sets. SW gives you weird number of minis in each unit while Dominion gives you 4 heroes one of with is special character. There is no reason to double down on it. On the positive side warcry box (one with vindictors and annihilators did help me to build up units I was interested in (its probably hard to get it now tho) Maybe I should sell it off or give it to a friend who I know is interested, then, and not feel like I ought to do SCE just because I have some kicking around. Plus Cities of Sigmar seems cool and I like the fact that one army will nevertheless have a variety of styles to keep the painting interesting.

Covermeinsunshine posted:I mean Soul Wars is how I started and I remember it fondly but you might try and trade it in. On the other hand in dominion 4 out of 7 units are very much usable - the problem with it they are usable in two completly different lists so unless you are into sce might be a problem. Do I recall correctly that some SCE figure into a number of CoS armies? If so, maybe it's better to just keep the SCE I have and use them in a CoS army. Mors Rattus posted:The main thing with Cities is we’re likely to see a massive line revamp next year. I'm not in a rush! It's probably good to know that it's worth waiting for me, actually. I have enough other projects at the moment.

Covermeinsunshine posted:1 in 4 units in CoS armies can be SCE - they gain the city keyword but they do not count as battline or can't be generals any more. Same is true for Kharadron in Tempest Eye and Sylvaneth in Living city. In those cases you can have 2 CoS units, KO unit and SCE unit and its all dandy Thanks! Would the SCE units from Dominion and Soul Wars be good candidates for that use case?

Grizzled Patriarch posted:On the other hand Dominion + the Kruleboyz battleforce is actually a very solid starter army for them, everything except the foot Killaboss and the Murknob has seen competitive play recently and you're like 1 unit of Boltboyz away from a meta list. All right, I guess I'm sold. I'll give my SCE stuff to my friend, start on my Kruleboyz stuff from Dominion and think about Cities of Sigmar when their new stuff hits next year.

Al-Saqr posted:I’m confused what’s underworld? Is it different from Warcry? Underworlds is probably my favorite game right now. And it's definitely different from Warcry. It's a mix of board game and deck building. You have a war band of 3-7 models, the rosters of which are fixed (no customization of equipment or models included in your team). What you can customize are your cards -- you have a deck of objectives you try to achieve to score points, and a deck of upgrades and power cards to play. Plays in three rounds, in each round you activate a model four times. Plays fast, very strategic. It's not AoS but smaller, Warcry is more like that. There are AoS and Warcry rules for the Underworlds war bands if you want to use the models there, but that's it. https://warhammerunderworlds.com/

Al-Saqr posted:drat apparently the cattle elves for AoS underworlds is completely out of stock that’s a shame, that ogre pirate and the vampires looks cool though. Do you have any local game shops? Underworlds doesn't exactly fly off the shelves so a lot of stores do have old stock kicking around, they just don't have webstores most of the time. Actually, Myari's Purifiers were one of the warbands in the Direchasm season box, if you can find that box you'd get them and the Dread Pageant (Slaaneshi warband). Edit: there's also some Underworlds chat in the Games Workshop Specialist Games thread. Muir fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Nov 11, 2022 |

Vulpes Vulpes posted:I hadn't any idea there was a new Gitz warband on the way, is there any info what would make it different from Zarbag's Gitz/Mollog's Mob? I love Zarbag's Gitz to an unreasonable degree. Having a horrible little goblin glare at a Chaos Sorcerer so hard they died remains an Underworlds highlight for me. I don’t have any info, but they have been thematically revisiting older warbands to do a fresh and meta-current take on them (like Hrothgorn vs Blackpowder, Exiled Dead vs Sepulchral Guard, new and old Skaven, etc.). So I would guess it’ll be something like that.

I'm a long-time 40k player who's admired Age of Sigmar for a while now, and I actually spend most of my tabletop time playing Warhammer Underworlds, with an eye toward Warcry. I want to work on a full AoS army, but am having a really hard time deciding which one to go with. I'm hoping for some guidance. I've read all the Goonhammer articles and other sites with the faction overviews. I get a lot of enjoyment out of the model building and painting side of the hobby, and while I don't want to have a faction that is fighting with an arm tied behind its back, I don't care too much about being the most competitive either. I want to work toward a balanced general army list, rather than chasing meta builds. I'd prefer an army that's fairly straightforward to collect rather than having a dizzying array of options and different load-outs for units. I do already have the Dominion box, plus some more Stormcast halves of starter boxes and some of the limited characters. But I've realized I'm not that excited about Stormcast or Kruleboyz, and I'd be OK to sell on what I've got instead. I also have every Warhammer Underworlds warband if anything there helps fill out an army. And I have an unbuilt set of the old Island of Blood starter from the end of Warhammer Fantasy that has Skaven and High Elves. The four factions that grab me the most from a lore and aesthetic standpoint are Skaven, Soulblight Gravelords, Cities of Sigmar, and Seraphon. In 40k, I play Space Wolves, Leagues of Votann, and Genestealer Cults, if that helps somehow. Thanks! Muir fucked around with this message at 07:34 on Nov 30, 2022 |

Covermeinsunshine posted:Skaven recently got new book with is average and no new models. This is very helpful, thanks! I'm a bit tempted on the Skaven side given what I already have from Island of Blood and how good a deal the new Battleforce seems to be. But I do appreciate how nice all the new models are, and Soulblight's new models look great. I guess if I'm going to paint a horde it would be more fun to paint a horde of new sculpts. Given the amount of time that goes into assembling and painting, it's probably a false savings to pick an army based on models I have around instead of what I'm absolutely most excited about. And I think the feel and flavor of Soulblight is really cool and would be fun to paint, and different from other stuff I've done. Maybe I'll see if any local stores have last year's battleforce still around.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me pick a faction. I successfully sold off all my Stormcast and Kruleboyz stuff, and found someone on Facebook selling last year’s battle force for Soulblight Gravelords and Cursed City and was able to get both for $300 shipped. I also have Anasta Malkorion, Cado Ezechiar, and all the Underworlds warbands which I can either run as is or proxy for other characters (Crimson Court people as Vampire Lord, Exiled Dead leader as Necromancer, King Velmorn as a Wight King). I’m just starting to assemble the battleforce now and I love the updated sculpts on everything. I’m not really one to play “evil” factions but I’m looking forward to my undead horde. I guess the lore says there are a couple of benevolent vampire lords…

GW has an official base size PDF for Age of Sigmar (but not one for 40K for some reason): https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/ba618db2.pdf You can also look in the detailed description for the various squads on the Games Workshop catalog site. It won't say on the battle force, but if you look up each squad within the battle force, it's there.

I’ve got the beginning of my Soulblight Gravelords army halfway built (2021 battle force and Cursed City). I’ve settled on the paint scheme so my main task is to paint it. It would be my first fully painted army I’ve done in a long time, I’ve been focusing on skirmish games, but I really like this army and am excited to try AoS. I’ll probably try to follow along with the new year new army/armies on parade milestones at my local GW store.

War and Pieces posted:Crossposting: anyone else get the impression that Sigmar's regime is *more* fascist than the Imperium? I don't know about *more* fascist, except that he's actually an active god with powers and the Emperor is sidelined, so Sigmar can exert more direct influence on how things are run, but it's definitely more fascist than I thought before I started actually reading AOS lore.

New Seraphon look awesome.

I'm so tired of them tying interesting miniatures to a gigantic loving box. Like Kill Team, they release the war bands separately a little after the next big box comes out. Rotmire Creed and Horns of Hashut from Heart of Ghur are available separately right now, for example.

I am going to have to track down Gallowfall, and I've been tempted by both recent Warcry boxes but I think I'll wait and get just the vampires when they're released alone next week, and maybe the same for the Flesheaters.

Covermeinsunshine posted:Yeah its kinda garbage. New underworld set comes out and its great - nothing. New warcry set comes out and its the best thing ever - still nothing And sadly, this is how it is in real life too. I was running our local Underworlds meetups for over a year. We went from getting 4-6 people to maybe getting 1 or 2. I finally stopped when I asked people for their preferred times for a tournament using the cool official organized play Gnarlwood pack with alt art cards and a trophy, and then nobody showed up. I'd love to play Underworlds again or get into Warcry, but I'm going to get into Kill Team instead because I can actually get games of it. Tentatively hopeful that Star Wars: Shatterpoint will be good and get some local scene but not holding my breath on the latter even if the former is true. And I'm in a major metropolitan area.
