So I have a pretty big hard on for big models/center pieces. I currently own Vampire Counts, High Elves, and Wood Elves. If I want to field mainly big things (lords on dragons, terrorgheists, mortis engines, cavalry, etc....) which is most viable now?

Death lists spamming Mournghouls are apparently pretty hot right now but while those are big forge world models they're not really centerpiece-y. Mounted Vampire lords are also supposed to be pretty good but they'll be doing the heavy lifting for the whole army.

Get to play awesome looking and fun vampires, but had to take 60-80 ugly boring zombies or skeletons. If I could field nothing but vampires and bats, I could be down for busting them out again.

I'm pretty sure Lizardmen might have a model or two that's big.

The skeleton getting started set contains Arkhan the Black who is a pretty nice centerpiece model.

You can run this as a Battleforged army Coven Throne (260) Vampire Lord On Zombie Dragon (440) Vampire Lord On Zombie Dragon (440) 5 x Blood Knights (260) 5 x Blood Knights (260) 5 x Blood Knights (260) 2 x Bat Swarms (80) or 3 x Fell Bats (80) No wait, I figured it out! Vampire Lord On Zombie Dragon (440) Abhorrant Ghoul King on Terrorgheist (400) Arkhan The Black Mortarch of Sacrament (340) Mannfred Mortarch Of Night (460) 10 x Zombies (60) 10 x Zombies (60) 10 x Zombies (60) Mortis Engine (180) You've got a four horseman thing going on there. mango sentinel fucked around with this message at 02:37 on May 23, 2017 |

I'm sorry, I'm sure this gets asked all the time, but I'm looking to revise my old square base models with round ones. Is it safe to assume Glade Guard, or Skeleton Warriors would be best on 25mm rounds and heroes be on 32mm? I googled it a bit and found, "Plastic Krak Age of Sigmar Base Conversion Chart". It seems to be making rounds one the internets. Anyone use it for their standards?

I'd personally do 25mm round for all troops, even heroes for human sized stuff. Pro-tip: goblins and smaller actually look baller on 20mm round!

Plaguebearers want to be in big units, 20 or 30. They exist to not die, and the 20+ bonus is amazing. -2 to shoot them and -1 to hit in close combat. Blightkings are great, and also a totally safe choice. One of the top nurgle things currently is units of 20 or 30 marauders(With the mark of nurgle), with a warshrine of nurgle and the nurgle hero that gives out the 5+ ward. So your 60 point for 10 troops have a 5+, 5++, 6++ save(s). All of the nurgle daemons are good, you just basically need epidemius if you want to go heavy daemon. All the pestilen stuff is good, but their synergies means you need to field a bunch of their units/heroes for it to be effective. And plagueclaw catapults make baby jesus cry they are so good.

NORTH-HALL posted:Can night gobbos bring any fight to these new armies? A lot of people field mixed moonclan and Beastclaw raiders, for tons of little troops to stop the big angry monsters that shoot 6 mortal wounds at a time from getting mobbed. Also Fanatics wreck poo poo, although they usually die right after

So I've got my list down to the last 160-180 points. Great Unclean One Herald of Nurgle Lord of Chaos Chaos Sorceror Lord 5 blightkings 20 plaguebearers 20 chaos warriors 5 knights 3 plague drones Chariot or gorebeasts A few things I could do with 160-180: Daemon prince of nurgle, epidemius, skaven plague catapult, more blight kings or warriors, two of the various 80-100pt heroes. Any opinions?

Blightkings, I've seen them mince through squad after squad at that 10 man threshold.

Thanks, sounds good. Now to learn more about the actual rules of the game. I'll start out with the start collecting boxes and work from there. Other than the start collecting boxes I would just need 10 more plaguebearers and warriors, the lord of chaos, GUO, and blight kings. The bonuses that plaguebearers and warriors get at 20 models sounds pretty nice.

NORTH-HALL posted:Can night gobbos bring any fight to these new armies? Oh hey, I play night gobbos (we're called Moonclan now) and can answer this! Yes we can. Fanatics still hit terrifyingly hard, and our heroes are still great value for points. The troops are also surprisingly good for what they do. Yes, their bravery is dismal and they will flee at any provocation, but they have a great synergy: The boss' command ability. 20" range, can only be cast on Moonclan units. The target unit, until the next turn, every to wound roll of 6 does double damage. If you put that on a 40 man spear unit, it does HORRIFIC amounts of damage. This makes them a weird niche: A glass cannon horde army. You want to smash a big block of goblins into the opponent ASAP, wipe as many out as quickly as you can, then pray enough of the cowardly little bastards hang around to mop up.

Played my first AoS game last night. 1000 points of my Stormcast vs a Chaos Daemons list consisting of Daemonettes, Khorne demons and Plaguebearers. So, can I use my generals command ability every turn? The Lord Celestant on Dracoth has the ability that makes my dudes immune to battleshock if they're within 24".

MasterSlowPoke posted:Great job rehabing them. I wouldn't bother stripping, you did a good enough job on your initial coat. Grab one of those texture paints for the base and it will really finish them off. I'd guess Astrodebris would look good. Took your suggestion with my latest rehab. Astrogranite and astrodebris. Tried to make it look like smashed up cement, and while it didn't come out quite like I planned, I like it.

The only thing I'd recommend for the next one is to not line up the tiles exactly, instead lay them like bricks. Looks surprisingly effective though!

So if a unit has multiple weapons in it's warscroll (for example, the Drakesworn Templar has a Tempest Axe, an Arc Hammer, a Stormlance and the Stardrake's Great Claw) - you get to attack with whatever you equipped him with, correct? As well as the Stardrake getting to attack as well?

Most infantry has a choice of weapons though so they don't get to attack with weapons they don't have.

Moonclan don't have a book or any bonuses for staying in their allegiance, so you can mix in any other Destruction units without losing any benefits, beyond "Not being able to use the boss' ability on non-moonclan."

The guys that are doing the new edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay are also doing a Age of Sigmar Roleplay game. http://cubicle7.co.uk/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-roleplaying-game-announced/ Apparently they're going to be completely different systems? Rather curious to see how it turns out, and if it'll solidify some of the Sigmar lore like it desperately needs.

In news Age of Sigmar is getting a role playing game alongside Fantasy getting a new role playing game. (Though the lines will be seperate) Hopefully this allows them to work on the setting a bit.
