Brettonia is Breton/Brittany, the English possessions within France. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany#Immigration_of_Britons Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Breton_Succession The English owned chunks of France for significant periods of history and the two peoples are inextricably linked by blood.

They're British, it's just that the time period the Brets are aping is when England was ruled by the Normans. French names and language were aristocratic and the Germanic were considered more lowborn. It's why you get stuff like Le Morte D'Arthur and most of the knights and figures being Latin cognates.

bretonnia is a pastiche of anglo/french "chivalry" and arthurian legends, it's vague enough that it doesn't really make sense to argue about whether they're english or french (the names are french obviously but they're drawing on some explicitly english traditions as well)

I don't play at a competitive level, but my Bloodbound army is composed almost entirely out of units from the starter box and the start collecting box. Every KBB unit in those boxes was also represented in multiple armies at South Cost GT 2016. The game is still too young to have a really established set of meta-game armies which are "good", evidenced by the top SCGT armies being pretty different from each other. There are units which are better than others, sure, but many units work synergisticly. Ideally there will also balance tweaks in the next iteration of the General's Handbook, since the SCGT was one of it's major influences.

i'm pretty sure you can get 2k for under £200 easily if you're smart about it and not dead set on the new expensive bullshit. Do people play AoS at 2k tho? I really feel like it would come apart at the seams at that level, locally 1500 seems to be the max.

i'm thinking about getting khazrak the one eyed and building an army around him. lots of ungors, gors, bestigors, centigors minotaurs, chaos hounds, chaos spawn and cygor. is that a bad army to get?

The game looks like it's built entirely on synergies, meaning that battles are won and lost on list building. All of your units being usable in a GW game definitely isn't the norm and it usually means your army is on the higher end of the power creep

This kind of post is what I'm alluding to. People don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on an army they really like only to get steamrolled by stormstormers or bloodblooders because they picked the wrong army.

so an army of say khazrak the one eyed great bray shaman 30 gors with gor blades 30 gors with gor blades 20 bestigors 6 minotaurs with dual axes 20 ungor raiders would basically be a waste of money that would get steamrolled by not spacemarines and khorne?

Seems like they'd benefit a lot from a wargor bsb at any points level if you're spamming gors. Otherwise...looks solid to me but see above  e: V okay that's a lot of bux for just 500pts. Saint Drogo fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Dec 3, 2016 |

ok so a much more reasonable starting army for 500pts khazrak the one eyed 10 ungor raiders 10 gors 10 gors 10 bestigors should i bother finding points for a wargor bsb at 500pts? edit - between ebaying khazrak and buying new it'll come to 140bux

Yeah, you'd be better off converting up a Khazrak. Beastlord, Tuskgor Chariot, Green Stuff a whip and gouge out an eye. For your list I'd argue combining the Gors into a 20 man herd to better take advantage of their extra attacks rule. Same amount of points for more damage at the cosy of some flexiblity.

I was curious when I was at one of my FLGS yesterday and took a look at a box of sigmarines because I was like "hey, the sculpts are kinda cool and they might make neat minis to pull out for a high level D&D encounter with divine beings or something," and the box was $50. I got $8 of Reaper Bones minis instead. I woulda done $30, maybe $35, since it was payday.

Question about Bloodsecrator, if I have two of them within 12 inches of a unit and activate the portal for Rage of Khorne, does that mean they get plus 2 attacks in combat? I don't see anything that indicated it does not stack. edit: I found other talking about it and it appears that yes, they stack because of the wording, sweet, will need to run two of them. Two secrators, wrathmongers, and aspiring deathbringer. escorting 40 Bloodreavers means 6 attacks each, or 240 total attacks. LumberingTroll fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Dec 4, 2016 |

I played Age of Sigmar today with my buddy. I brought Empire, he brought Dwarfs. We played a mission with three objectives, which could only be captured by character models. Problem was, my characters weren't super motivated, so my Witch Hunter didn't get on an objective til late in the game, and my captain didn't clear off the central objective til the last turn. He won the battle, although he only had a wounded Cogsmith and an unmanned cannon left while I still had 20something state troops and crossbows, plus my characters left. Here's some pictures:         I've gotta figure out how to add some punch to this army. The block of State Troops was nice, but while they were survivable, none of their weapon options are that deadly. Even my Reiksguard aren't that damaging, although their charge was good enough to wipe the Slayers out - unfortunately, the Slayers' postmortem attacks killed half the unit! The crossbows did alright, although if I got to use their stand and shoot ability they could be pretty devastating. I've got a block of handgunners coming up next, and then I've gotta figure out were I can put some real punch in this army. I'm hoping Demigryph Knights and a Hellblaster Volley Gun will be enough to give the army some more dependable damage output, as for a lot of this game I felt like I was swinging wet noodles, despite the near tabling of my opponent.

If you're both playing old world armies and keeping everything effectively ranked up why not just play an old edition of WHFB? I wouldn't recommend 8th but you could use that army book if you wanted demigryph knights and the 7E rulebook to avoid steadfast and it's attendant problems and have a nice time wheeling and flanking and breaking units with all your detachments. I guess I'm not seeing what the benefit of AoS is here, especially considering you seem to have taken pains to make everything in nice squares without the help of movement trays.

Demigryphs are a good call, Greatswords aren't a bad idea either. Maybe look into some of the Collegate Arcane stuff, particularly the Celestial Hurricanum. That thing is a force multiplier de-jour for Order armies, especially if you fork out for the Leader variant with the Celestial Wizard.

The ease of play is a big part of it. The rules are simple, we don't have to cross-reference anything, and we can just play the game.
