Started on Horus Rising audibook since I might as well catch up on all this poo poo I missed out on, or not, we'll see. But so far my main impressions are is that most of the book is "Hahaha, wouldn't it be crazy if we tried to murder each other, well good thing that will never happen". And space marines act very human, so they're all a bunch of assholes a lot of the time.

Space marine characterization is much better in HH than in books that take place in M41, part of why I like Chaos centric books so much is a lot of the chaos space marines just still act like they did in the Heresy which is pretty endearing. I'm about to start that new Emperor's Children warband book after I finish the last little bit of the most recent Dawn of Fire and I'm hyped.

Xenos? *BLAM* Also, the reason I like the Night Lords books is because I like that there's a spectrum of growth from the CSM. Some of them, still 'fighting the Long War', 'Death to the False' blah blah blah, and some are just over this poo poo. That's perfect for me, because it's the portrayal that'd actually happen.

Starter set factions lately have been those who have needed a range update or are the launch of a new range entirely. EC could fit but then why split them off now? Personally if I was a betting man I'd say Dark Eldar because they're the only ones that need a big range update and can also serve as an edition headliner villain. They are also in need of their big centerpiece model too (likely Vect) and, while that isn't exclusively an edition launch thing, all of the launch factions end up getting a big centerpiece model (mortarion, silent king, norn emissary).

Maneck posted:You are correct. The snotling base used to be a shared model as between Warhammer and 40k. It was most famous in 40k as being the ammo for the Shokk Attack Gun. I don't think they existed after 2nd edition. This is so validating I was entranced with those little guys reading White Dwarf as a child but have basically never seen them acknowledged since and now Snotlings in general seem to have been cut

This interview can probably go into any thread on the subforum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh3SY57RBcI It says space marine on the tin, but that's only there to bait you into watching an interview about sculpting, creative work, industry, and hobbies.

I feel like the dark eldar range is pretty solid at the moment, mostly just missing modern kits for a few notable things like grotesques, beasts, and asdrubael, all of which would fit a medium-sized mid edition codex update release. GW seem confident enough in the kabalite kit to have added a killteam upgrade sprue for it recently so it seems unlikely that they'd get replaced anytime soon. Emperor's Children seem far more likely as a new edition Evil Antagonist, as they have zero plastics and are obviously getting a similar treatment to TS/DG/WE in the not too distant future. The only thing makes it unlikely is that they're maybe a bit too creepy to be the poster antagonists for an edition, but the AoS slaanesh redesigns have been pretty good on that front. The launch box always has entirely new sculpts for both factions, and it's only maybe orks that need a proper update for their basic troops.

They seem to be low key moving towards giving the Raven Guard some lime light, I could see a Raven Guard themed normal SM vs EC 11th edition launch box but tbh I think we're getting EC within 10th

Yeah, the way I figure it there's only a handful of options for starter kits. Imperium factions obviously don't work, unless they replace the Marine half. In light of AoS needing to trim down the Stormcast range for blowt this is actually possible, but imo more likely for AoS 5th than 40k 11th. Similarly, Votann, Tau, and Eldar aesthetically parse as good guys, so they don't really hold up as starter box foes. Necrons and Tyranids just had their chance, and their plastic lines are fairly comprehensive and up to date. Death Guard and Genestealers are much smaller ranges, but are also full of new, characterful plastic. DG in particular just had their starter box in 8th. Emperors' Children feel like they need to release in 11th, or needing a 10th index doesn't make sense. The other two cult legions could use a Wave 2, but all their core units are already represented and it feels way too early to give them resculpts. Knights are way too skew for a Chaos starter box, and undivided Daemons lowkey feel like an army GW doesn't want to push. That means IMO it's down to original recipe Chaos Marines, Dark Eldar, or Orks. All three have old janky models to replace and conceptual space to grow.

the manager at the GW store yesterday hinted that there would be new drukhari models when their codex releases. I went there to pick up kill team nightmare. I was thinking the CSM side of the kill team was all Raptors for some reason, I’m annoyed, I don’t really need more legionaries.

huh warcom stealth released details of the Darktide board game https://www.warhammer-community.com...iniatures-game/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svlPYd67yuI&t=45s sadly it's re-packaged minis, not unique to the game. but it might be a really cheap and good way to get stuff like blooded traitors-primaris psykers and such for cheap I'll definitely pick this up if it's under 80 bucks so I have something to play with the casual normies that's warhammer related. I wonder if this system is similar to Underworlds, it has the same grid layout. Al-Saqr fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Apr 24, 2024 |

I'm sure someone here can chime in on this. Like I said, I've only played Silver Tower and that was years ago now. If you're interested, I'd probably just grab Cursed City.

found a final copy of the blackstone fortress base game on amazon, for 160 dollars and cheaper than the new AoS warhammer quest, immediately snatched it since I cant imagine other copies being this well priced, also god drat escalation and the zoat costs 400 dollars so I think I am completely not able to expand the game sadly.

Safety Factor posted:[*]Cursed City - AoS. Adventurers fighting undead. This one had a troubled start and disappeared under strange circumstances, but is currently available. It hasn't been expanded at all to my knowledge beyond maybe some character rules in White Dwarf. There were at least two expansions - Night Wars and one other, but they were both "Oh, if you want to play this expansion, here's the minis you have to buy separately. Oh, and we're only doing one production run and then memory holing this poo poo." So effectively no expansions.

Sort of like the BSF expansions then, although there most models came out on their own afterwards. Although I think the Ambull is tied up in another mini board game. While the bigger drones are just gone. But yeah, half the reason why the Cursed City expansions were like that was because the issues that hit the first run of the game rolled so far forward that the models came out before the expansions alongside the Vampire army release for AoS.

Is it normal to have Daemons in a CSM army? If you need a threatening monster for your launch box art you could use forked tongues and crab claws aplenty and still have the faction be Emperor's Children.

I'm perfectly fine to keep it to a single purchase with no expansions, and the minis alone I'm super excited to have in my 40k collection. thanks for the info!

There seems to have been a bit of an effort from Gallowdark onwards to paint the Kill Team releases (and depict them in art) as something other than the chosen ‘eavy metal main subfaction. Raven Guard scouts, orange squats, turquoise necrons, blue dark eldar. It’s a minor detail but kind of fun to see.

cursed city left a really bad impression on me. rolling to act then rolling for success in a game barely more complex than heroquest just felt like time-chewing filler. even old WHQ with the tiles felt better. i'd never play cursed city over a game like descent or gloomhaven. the darktide game looks like the combat arena games GW occasionally puts out, but this time using the kill team game math. it looks like a good way to teach people KT without needing to learn the game's targeting/cover/hiding rules at the same time.
