It only started out as the 5 Reavers and 3 Blood Warriors from the £20 starter and now I'm trying to decide what to add next :/ Choices are: - Chaos Warriors with Mark of Nurgle, - Chaos Warriors with Mark of Tzeentch - Tzaangor Skyfires - Tzaangor Englightened. The Tzaangor will probably be built as Skyfires to add some shootymans. Also I'm probably going to add some Plaguebearers and a Nurgle hero to balance out the Bloodletters and Slaughterpriest as well at some point.

I'll do Slaanesh eventually, but I'll need to get some Demonettes for the spares to add to the Warriors first. I've assembled a Tzeentch-ish unit, basically a bird headed Champion with some scrolls and a hacked off staff head for the banner top (guess the Tzaangors will definitely have to be Skyfires now).

These guys are great! Thanks  I cut corners by not painting the back of them (joke, but someone asked me a few years ago because I never post rear shots). Painting the Khorne guys is pretty quick as Red over grey followed by a couple of sparse highlights is a lot easier than colour schemes for some reason. The 5 Seraphon Saurus Riders I posted a bit ago took me about a week with a couple of hours a day, compared to those 5 Chaos Warriors which were just an evening. Same with the Nurgle guys, I painted the 5 in parallel but the two fleshy dudes took at least 3 times longer to paint than the mostly green ones for the same reason. I messed up though as I've built the box of Chaos Warriors as: - 5 Khorne themed - 5 Tzeentch - 5 Nurgle Then I read the actual Warscroll to realise minimum unit size is 10, so instead of just 10 more to paint, it's 10 more then another 15 to buy, build and paint :/

Yeah, I've been a member there for years, have done tons of trades. There's trade reference system built in where you can check if they've actually sent items, etc. Sorta like ebay.

Has my first game with them yesterday just the starter set contents versus my sons 1400 points of Seraphon. We used the new Open War cards and it was great fun. Squeezed out a Sudden Death Assassination victory. Seraphon are super tricky now with their teleport ability and sneaky chameleon skinks. Really likes the Blood Tithe mechanic. Blood Rain saved my bacon in the last turn. Also Blood Reavers with no support die super quickly.

Speaking of Blodbound, I grabbed one of the Thunder and Blood starters yesterday for the Bloodstoker, more Reavers (only had 5 from the even cheaper starter) and the Stormcast to pad out the undersized 2 units I have as well as add a General to them. I was really hoping the Khorgorath would look better in person as I wanted a nice larger centrepiece for them, something akin to a hellbrute, but it's tiny head thing really isn't doing it for me. I only went in the GW for some more Chaos Warriors, but I came out with Thunder and Blood, the 30th Anniversary marine and some blue paint. They tried to sell me a section of the Realm of Battle board to do the Armies on Parade thing too, but meh. I forgot the Warriors :/ So now my Chaos Checklist is: code:

Ok you win. I did forget 3 Skyfires though . I was thinking more monster/big daemon of some sort, as I'm pretty much entirely infantry. In other words something like the Chaos Warshrine, a Daemon Prince, One of the Nurgle Maggot Riding Guys, a Bloodthirster or Skarbrand.

You can't go wrong with a Bloodthirster or Skarbrand. Being able to summon Demons is pretty rad for not having them get shot to pieces. (Can you summon Skarbrand?)

He doesn't have a "Summon Skarbrand" spell mentioned on his Warscroll so it'll probably be down to the Bloodthirster or Daemon Prince. Now if only I had some blue Tzeentch dudes that were actually finished to do some summoning...  I really need to sit down get some more paint on these guys.

Looking great! If I ever go Chaos, I'm gonna want Tzeench, and based around a core of Chaos Warriors. Though I wonder what benefits Slave to Darkness get for being Tzeench.

Rhaegar posted:Awesome. What's the approach for the blue armor and shield? Looking to do something similar for my Tzeentch chaos warriors. Thanks, the blue is: - Thousand Sons Blue (really nice colour, have to thin a lot though and apply a couple of coats), - Drakenhoff in the recesses - Tidy up blue - 1:1 Thousand Sons Blue and Temple Guard Blue highlight - Temple Guard Blue highlight - Baharoth Blue point highlights JcDent posted:Though I wonder what benefits Slave to Darkness get for being Tzeench. Looking at some of the Warscrolls, a Lord can pass on his Mark of X bonus to 1 unit with the same mark within 10" in the command phase. So a Lord with mark of Tzeentch can give his +1 to save to a unit with that mark for that round. Other units in the game also offer benefits to other units with the same mark, e.g. Warriors with Khorne are Khorne Mortals, so if a Khorne unit has an ability that affects Khorne, they can apply to any unit with Khorne keyword. Most of the Slaves to Darkness units can be marked and therefore work really well with the other Chaos allegiences, such as Bloodbound, Disiples of Tzeentch, Nurgle Rotbringers, Clan Pestilens when marked accordingly etc..

Texmo posted:just have to chime in and say, have you tried using ahriman blue for this? from what I can see, it looks like it is in the middle of thousand sons and temple guard already. I saw Ahriman Blue in the local GW when I grabbed the Thousand Sons blue, but then remembered I have a lot of blues already. I only bought TS Blue because it was a base paint so when thinned it'd only need a couple of coats rather than 4-5 of an equivalent layer paint TS Blue -> Temple Guard -> Baharroth has a pretty subtle step between them too, so the 50/50 mix can probably be skipped, the only place I can even notice it on the finished guys is where the highlights meet the base coat. The centre of the top edge of the horn blower's shield is pretty much the only example I can see of that mix on the photo.  I posted them in the Miniatures Thread but here they are again finished.

I bought the £20 starter set for this stupid game and am painting the stormcast. What direction does one go to collect these things? The store folks are nice but they're obviously pushing me towards the big box sets, and I kinda just want to grab a Venator or Questor and play some skirmish.

I was actually intrigued by one small bit of lore in that article. The Stormcast are fighting over the 'shade glass' currency the game uses because it allows them to retain more of the personality and memories when they're reborn. It's just a tiny thing that they drummed up to give them a reason to fight for the maguffin but at least it fleshed them out a little more.

Why are the orks doing it, then? Also, if you're going for skirmish, just buy what fits skirmish. Like Knight-Questor. Rerollable 3+.

I started with the £20 last month, and have kind of gone out of control (scroll back for a glimpse into madness). Do you have the Skirmish Rules, they kind of limit you as to what you can choose vs full fat AoS where it's pretty much I like rats and beastmen I'll use them both in a Grand Alliance, or I only like Stormcasts so I'll have a pure Stormcast list with its bonuses and so on. For Skirmish it'll depend on what Renown (Points) Score you're aiming to play e.g. a Questor (20pts) is 4pts cheaper than a Venetor (24pts) which in Skirmish is an extra Liberator model. If you're starting at 25pts (as per the recommendation, which is crap) it might not even be possible to make a legal list as it requires 3 models, one of which being a hero. If you're going pure Stormcast Skirmish I can post the costs if you need them?

I don't have the rulebook but I have the gist of what's up with it. I think, checking the points costs on the warscroll builder, that a Questor + Storm of Sigmar is 49 Renown or something? I think 50 is what my club is starting at with their campaign. I raised the possibility of a Venetor because a) the model looks cool and b) I'm wondering how vital bringing some form of ranged attack is, and I'm not in the mood for shelling out for Judicators right now.
