jokes posted:I confess to playing ME pretty much exclusively. It feels nice unifying Elf Britain or whatever only to get into a hell-war with whatever other faction ends up being a global power. Yeah it really adds to the end game when you just have multiple elite armies roaming around then you piss off #2 and mash your armies together. One thing i always do in my dawi games is burn the elf forests to the ground.

Gotrek and Felix are actually getting a new book. juggalo baby coffin posted:they just messed them up like every other faction by splitting them off into 12 stupidly named groups and giving them new models that look like orcs cosplaying as space marines. the real problem for me with age of sigmar is i have no idea of the physical geography of the setting. i thought they were all like different elemental planes basically, but apparently you can rampage between them on foot? Honestly the Orcs look fine. But they have been divided faction wise a bit. (However the faction merge is starting to the happen, Beasts of Chaos were just reunited.) But the normal Orc Infantry for the Ironjawz are just the Black Orcs, they have looked like that for a while. Plus the Models do look pretty cool. Chance II posted:I wish I had a better camera/photo setup because I really like how these Orks are turning out but I'm loosing a lot of detail in these pics. The Age of Sigmar setting has been getting fleshed out with the release of Second Edition. The new Core Book gives a lot of cool setting details and how it works. While I would not call it as interesting as the Old World yet, it is turning into a decent setting itself. To answer your physical Geography thing. They are like different planes. The only way to rampage between them on foot is through the use of portals that the setting has in abundance. Many cities built there are actually twin cities, built in two separate locations around a portal that connects the two. As logistics are treated as pretty important in the setting gaining control of the portals is primary conflict.

I dunno man, even with a good color scheme and not that bright yellow garbage they chose for some dumbass reason, IMO Ironjaw armor takes the scrap armor aesthetic way too far. That jagged piece of scrap on the left hand, the "backplate"; it looks slapdash to the point of dumb instead of cool. (Now) Oldschool Black Orcs had drat good armor, sticking true to the chunky and solid aesthetic of plate armor: http://warhammerfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Orc

They use the yellow on the sigmorks bc GW uses really bright schemes with contrasting details on all their dudes now bc they want their studio models to have very obvious visible details. Also the sigmorks are fine/waaaay better than the old orcs which look loving awful. Like they look awful even compared to the ancient but current 40k ork boyz. Pull your heads out of your nostalgiasses. Anyway, human infantry with polearms and some cav? BOOOOOORIIIIIIIING Just leave Bretonnia an empire clone

They look different cause of the Yellow Color scheme. But they are exact same models.  For a new model type we have the Brutes, I think the models look cool but a different color scheme from the default yellow just makes them look better

The Ironjaws are literally Black Orcs from old Fantasy, it's the Ironjaw Brutes with the dumbass armor. ^^^: Yeah, sorry, I got confused with the naming convention. Still, Ironjaw Brutes IMO have terrible armor, and that yellow color scheme is loving poo poo.

Sodomy Hussein posted:That yellow is just insanely bad and makes them all look like 40k critters I agree that Yellow Scheme is not great. Luckily they can be given whatever color you want. But I would still take even Yellow Scheme Ironjawz Warboss over the original Orc Warbosses.

I'm a hater but like the worst part of the Brutes is that some leg parts have them walking around loving barefoot except with massive shinguards, so it looks stupidly sloppy.

Apparently the Cold Ones got tired of dealing with backseat drivers and took things into their own hands. Druthu has evolved beyond our mortal constraints and attacks a Rogue Army as a recursive cluster of fractals.

Not even free company with pistols for Saltspite? Just guys with axes? I would hope if they don't have them they add them back in, pistols are very piratey and all.

GoLambo posted:Not even free company with pistols for Saltspite? Just guys with axes? I would hope if they don't have them they add them back in, pistols are very piratey and all. Kind of disappointed by this too but it seems like the unit is meant to fill a niche that they don't otherwise have access to, and I guess the zombie gunners can fulfill 'low level gunpowder stuff' well enough whereas they said these are meant to provide early armour-piercing capability. On the other hand I really love the expanded backstory for Cylostra Direfin, she sounds even better now.

I kinda wish they had just saved Saltspite for a Tilean/DoW DLC, she seems completely out of place, same with that weird unit of Free Company Militia. Other than that though it looks great.

So did Direfin have that name even while she was just a normal opera singer because there's some extreme nominative determinism happening there

I find the idea of the only living human unit in a gun heavy faction being melee only very amusing. "Captain, have... have ye maybe considered giving us the guns and the corpses the axes?" "Nonsense! Skullcap Dave is a crack shot! Now go charge those Executioner's to keep them away from my zomboys!"
