Only if you play it wrong. My 2k Skryre list only has 22 models in it. Game ends as a blowout one way or the other.

I painted dudes for this new fantasy game in the style of the old fantasy game 20 State Troops - painting masses of dudes is way easier when they don't have bling hanging everywhere:      Arcane Ruins - this set is easy to assemble but ugh there's so many gaps to fill and they're really awful. After gap filling and sanding it looks okay:

Those are some good lookin mans. especially love the boarhead banner. I have a question regarding battalions. Mainly I wanna know if this list is legal. I'm planning on taking Gore Pilgrims, which is 2 Slaughterpriests, 1 Bloodsecrator, 1 unit of Blood Warriors and 1 unit of Bloodreavers mandatory. You can take an additional Slaughterpriest and 1 more unit of Blood Warriors and Bloodreavers. If you're making an army list at say 2,000 points, are you allowed to take units outside of the battalion? Here's the list i made out (Bolds are part of the Battalion): Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage - General, Great Destroyer, Crown of Conquest Slaughterpriest - Killing Frenzy Slaughterpriest - Resanguination Slaughterpriest - Magebane Hex Bloodsecrator - Banner of Rage Bloodsecrator - Banner of Rage Blood Warriors x 10 - Goreaxes, 1x goreglaive, banner Bloodreavers x 10 - Meatripper Axes Bloodreavers x 10 - Meatripper Axes Wrathmongers x 5 Khorgorath x 2 Khorgorath x 2 Khorgorath x 2 Comes out to 1980. Some other questions - Can I take 2 x Banners of Rage? Also, only the Bloodsecrator in the battalion benefits from the boost, correct? Thanks!

Zuul the Cat posted:Those are some good lookin mans. especially love the boarhead banner. You can take units outside the battalion. The battalion grants extra rules to only the units in the battalion, and those units are counted as one drop in deployment. I didn't add up the points on your list but make sure you are paying points for that battalion (180). The banner artifacts would be subject to the new Rule of One that limits artifacts to one per army, unless there is something special in the KBB book that might get around that.

So I amended my list after learning about the rule of one. Only 1 banner of rage now. So, if I have a unit of 20 Bloodreavers in range of 2 bloodsecrators, + 1 banner of rage, they get +3 attacks, correct? Cause the FAQ states spells and abilities are stackable unless it’s specifically stated otherwise.

Jesus, does that mean Bloodreavers can potentially make 6 attacks each!? Bloodsecrator +Bloodsecrator + Banner of Rage, + Frenzied Devotion + Wrathmongers?

Zuul the Cat posted:Jesus, does that mean Bloodreavers can potentially make 6 attacks each!? Bloodsecrators don't stack with each other anymore, it's in the FAQ. It has to do with how certain abilities are worded (Although I firmly believe that nothing should stack with the same name but anyway). Page 137 – Bloodsecrator, Portal of Skulls, Rage of Khorne Change to: ‘Rage of Khorne: Add 1 to the Attacks characteristic for melee weapons used by friendly Khorne units while they are within 18" of any models with this ability. In addition, do not take battleshock tests for friendly Khorne units while they are within 18" of any models with this ability.’ ABILITIES Q: When the word ‘any’ is used in the criteria for an ability, does it mean that the ability is applied only once when the criteria for the ability are fulfilled? For example, if an ability said ‘Add 1 to hit rolls for models that are within 6" of any models with this ability’, would I add 1 to the hit rolls of a model that was within 6" of three models with the ability, or would I add 3? A: The ability is applied only once, no matter how many times the criteria are fulfilled – ‘any’ is treated as being synonymous with ‘one or more’ in the Warhammer Age of Sigmar rules. In the example, this means that 1 would be added to the hit rolls, not 3.

But the faq also says abilities and spells stack, unless specifically stated otherwise. This is how Kharadron get -4 rend.

Man, ain't these shorter, easier to read rules just grand? *looks at 40K, where people are debating whether Chapter Approved wording means that heroes over 10 wounds become invisible when they drop below 10 wounds*

JcDent posted:Man, ain't these shorter, easier to read rules just grand? You’ll always have assholes and idiots though. I have a confession. I have been reading Age of Sigmar novella and short stories. I like them. There’s some bad writing / bad authors where they’re trying to big up certain armies - some rolling of eyes when loving Skinks are taking down Blight Kings. But there’s some awesome stuff there too and some interesting ideas - Nurgle’s followers tending to stagnate and get locked in the same cycle of actions and obsessive compulsive behaviours. Is it sacrilege to be a Bloodbound if you want to ascend to Daemonhood in order to try to take your revenge on Khorne. How reforgeing can really gently caress up Stormcast and give them PTSD. And of course, the Hallowed Knights are awesome.

Black_Nexus posted:Not if the word any is in it, like the banner uses I guess that makes sense. The only reason I question is the example used is for abilities affecting modifiers, not an increase in attacks. God drat, I wish they were just clear on whether or not his ability stacked. That FAQ is confusing.

They really should just hand over all the AoS writing duties to Josh Renalds, that dude just loving Gets It. Also he was hinting on his Tumblr that he's gotten the go-ahead to start writing novels about Manfred von Carstein and I'm excited, love that little bloodsucking poo poo.

Yeah some of the novels are kicking rad, the orruk books in particular are good. And I don't know why they don't have the fluff in the stormcast army book to be more consistent with the novels. Because a lot of the stormcast in the novels are people, with flaws and are actually interesting. And I do like how every time they reforge those flaws generally get even worse.

I just have this one picture after I primed and washed them and realized the gaps were pretty bad:  And you can still get Empire dudes, aside from Knightly Orders, some characters, and Cannons/Mortars they're all still available from GW. The rest you can find on eBay or leftover at your FLGS without too much trouble usually.

If he keeps up the output over the next few years it would not surprise me at all if Josh Reynolds ends up having the same kind of defining influence over Age of Sigmar fluff as Abnett had over 40k. Would also recommend Nick Horth as one to watch. City of Secrets is fun and is apparently getting sequels.

Okay, so with the rules clarification I amended my list. Here's what I'm taking:quote:General: Using this, I don't think there's any overlap of abilities being used twice of the same name, so I should be good on gaining attacks.

Not specific to AoS, but I'm looking at picking up some sort of gaming mat. I like the look of the GW Soulblight mat, but I've heard that the images are kind of blurry and that the folds really can't be ironed out of the mat. Plus, at $80 USD, I can get a 6x4 mat for larger games. That being said, it looks like the only US based seller for gaming mats is Tablewar with their FAT Mats. I see some better images on mats from overseas, but the shipping is a killer. Has anyone picked up a mat from a US seller that they can recommend? Or are there any US distributors of any of the European mats where I'm not going to be stuck with paying $50 for shipping? berzerkmonkey fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Dec 13, 2017 |

I haven't received mine yet but ordered a mat from Mats by Mars, liked the look of them and they're US-based: https://matsbymars.com/collections/48-x-72-mats I bought a mat from gamemat.eu and I don't feel the shipping was crazy. I did pay about 50 bucks or so but I also ordered 3 terrain sets with it so I imagine a single mat would be much cheaper.

I've got a Tablewar mat and a Gamemat.eu one, the Forges of Mars one. I like the image quality of the Tablewar mat far better. The Gamemat one has a semi-metallic sheen to it that I'm not a huge fan of, but it's the only decent Martian map on the market. Shipping on the gamemat from Poland to Florida was 27 bucks.

Great mats, they're fleece instead of mouse pads so you can wash them and they're not a pain in the weenis to transport.
